The Chaplains Corner

Guest blogger, Chaplain Paul, is one of the most effective chaplains in America today. He is an emergency responder to every situation.

Hey, this is the Chaplain again.

All of us have felt the impact of disaster in one way or another. Whether it is the horrific, catastrophes we see on the evening news or some personal anguish-each of us has been affected by the reality of pain, suffering, and even death. And each of us needs to be rescued.

Our rescue has everything to do with our relationship with God's rescuer, the Lord Jesus Christ. The Bible says that

"Only Jesus has the power to save! He is the only one in all the world that can save anyone." (Acts 4:12)

It also says,

'God loved the world so much that he gave His only Son, so that everyone who believes in Him may not die but have eternal life.' (John 3:16)

Thanks to the completed work of Jesus for us, the rescue plan is clear: First, admit that your own sinfulness has created a spiritual "disaster." Then agree with God that the only way you can be rescued is to believe that Jesus took the punishment for your sins. Believe that what Jesus did long ago makes your spiritual rescue possible today.

Do you want hope? Jesus is the greatest giver of hope! He died - for us, but He didn't stay dead, He rose from the grave three days later. And He longs to be your rescuer.

Will you let Him do that for you? Would you like that kind of relationship as you face whatever is ahead for you in this life... and to be prepared for eternity, as well? Are you willing to accept God's rescue plan?
