Give me Jesus

This may seem like an odd tittle to a blog but really when you think about it, it is all we need and desire in this world is Jesus. Fernando Ortego is a known Christian Artis who has a song that is called Give me Jesus. In the song he says "You can have all this world, just give me Jesus" Too many times we look at worldly possessions and not what is the most important to us. The most important to us should be the love of God and Jesus, not if you have the biggest house, the best job, and the most possessions. That is not what God wants of us, but we just need to forget those world possessions and lean on God. Can you live with all the things of this world and forget about Jesus? Would you really want to forget about Jesus?

I was thinking about this and then the song and it made me think this what it would be like if we forgot about Jesus? We would forget he was born and we would forget that he died. However did Jesus forget about is when he was dying a horrible death? He thought ONLY of us when he died on the cross. "For our sake he made him to be sin who knew no sin, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God." (2 Corinthians 5:21) For our sake God sent Jesus to the cross not for him but for us. Jesus died on the cross for us not himself. He gave up his life to save us from hell.

If you think about it, that is one sacrifice that he gave for us to live. We all sin, we all fall short of the glory of God, but Jesus saves us. He not just saved us he does continue to save us. Every time that we think we have messed up to the point that we will not be forgiven God always forgives us. He sent Jesus to the cross to save us from death in Hell.

So Give me Jesus, I would rather have Jesus in my life, and in my world then all the worldly possessions in my life. I do not need a big house, the best job, because you can have all the things of this world, just Give me Jesus.

"Join together in following my example, brothers and sisters, and just as you have us as a model, keep your eyes on those who live as we do. For, as I have often told you before and now tell you again even with tears, many live as enemies of the cross of Christ. Their destiny is destruction, their god is their stomach, and their glory is in their shame. Their mind is set on earthly things. But our citizenship is in heaven. And we eagerly await a Savior from there, the Lord Jesus Christ, who, by the power that enables him to bring everything under his control, will transform our lowly bodies so that they will be like his glorious body. Philippians 3:18-21

When I die my citizenship will be in Heaven where will yours be?
