True Life

Read: Matthew Chapter 7

“And when Jesus finished these sayings, the crowds were astonished at his teaching, for he was teaching them as one who had authority, and not as their scribes.” (vs. 28,29) 

Jesus spoke like no other teacher.  He taught from the heart and spoke to the heart.  He was completely undistracted by the complications and demands religion puts on faith.  He knew the heart of the Jewish Law and could communicate it without fear and condemnation.  He was the perfect example of the life that God offers.  We too can have this life because of Jesus’ sacrifice.

Lord, I want to live the kind of life Jesus did.  Allow me to experience new life hidden in Christ, so that I may walk in Your way every moment of every day.
