Our theme for the year, ‘Jesus Use Me’, presents exciting possibilities for the ministry of Springhill Baptist Church! It captures, for each of use, the truth taught in the Bible over and over again that the Lord can do amazing things through ‘One’ surrendered life!
When we think of ‘One’ surrendered life we immediately think of Jesus Himself. No ‘One’ life has more of an impact on mankind than the life, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Jesus was God incarnate and He came on an assignment and His goal was to ‘finish the work’ He had to do!
Jesus said, “My meat is to do the will of Him that sent me, and to finish His work.” What Jesus finished was our redemption, He paid sins debt in our behalf and shed His blood as our atonement for sin. Our faith in the accomplished work of Jesus Christ removes the penalty, and condemnation, of sin. We are so thrilled that the ‘One’ dying on the cross could say, “It Is Finished”, paid in full.
In my heart I know that I owe Jesus a ‘BIG THANK YOU!’. Paul told the Corinthians in I Corinthians 6:20, “For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God’s.”
In the weeks to come I will endeavor to teach us all the potential of ‘One’ life when it is surrendered to the Lord!
