He sent out his word and healed them; he rescued them from the grave (Psalm 107:20)
We were destined for eternal death through one man's sin, Adam. The wages of sin is death, therefore our end was an eternity in hell. But God who so loves us does not want us to die but have everlasting. He sent his only begotten son to rescue us, snatching us from the grave.
This act of snatching was borne out of love. For he loved us even before we loved him. He snatched us right on time from the claws of death.
The New Living Translates reads "snatching them from the door of death". And this Christ did just for you and me.
How then do we respond to such love. We do so by living each day for him. Responding to his love with love. We are to love the Lord with all our heart, soul and mind. And we are then to love our neighbour as ourselves. (Matthew 22:37-39)
Prayer: Lord Jesus, I commit my life in your hands. Thank You from snatching me from the door of death, Help me to live a life that pleases you.
And unto Him who is able to do exceedingly, abundantly, above all that we could ever ask or think, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, forever and ever.
Amen!
