The Power of The Word

The Power of The Word…

Growing up, I loved going to the movie theater and getting some snacks to eat while watching the movie. One of my favorites was Cracker Jacks because of the carmel corn and the little prize in the box.

That prize, in some ways, shows the difference between our faith and every other ideology or religion. With other belief systems, you try to follow the teachings and practices.

But the Gospel isn’t just about trying to follow a teaching or practice. It contains a gift, something real that’s given to you. It’s not about what’s true. It’s the giving of the Gift of Truth itself – Himself.

You can’t live the Christian life without His supernatural presence residing in you. It’s like holding a box of Cracker Jacks, but not reaching in for the prize.

For God so loved the world that He gave the greatest of gifts. That giving isn’t complete by teaching, doctrine, going to church, or Bible studies. They’re good, but the giving is made complete by receiving.

It’s time you reach deep down into your faith into the blessing of the gift. It’s as simple as pulling a prize out of a box of Cracker Jacks.

Thanks be to God for his inexpressible gift! 2 Corinthians 9:15

Today, take time to go deep into the Lord’s presence… and obtain the Prize – the gift of eternal life.

Walk daily with God at your side!

Love always,

Ed 🙏🏼
