A Gratifying Thanksgiving
Manage episode 390039272 series 3538711
On this day of giving thanks, we can be gratified. Not in the plundering of turkey or other gourmet delights but in the knowledge that Jesus, God in flesh, took the full punishment for the sins of our flesh, accomplishing what no other work or sacrifice ever could and offering salvation to us. Jesus gave up his Spirit on the cross, but God freely gives His Holy Spirit to all who believe (Ephesians 1:14).
This grace moves our hearts into true thanksgiving, it makes possible the total and complete fulfilment of our souls by restoring that eternal longing to be next to our savior. When we walk by the Spirit by acknowledging our true identities, Thanksgiving Day, and every day, we do not need to gratify the flesh, because our spirits have tasted the Bread of Life and the Living Water.
This is Steve and until we meet again, I urge you to Press On by asking the Savior to quench your eternal longing.
