Grace, Mercy, and Peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
One author wrote that “conversion does not simply install a new “religious” program over the existing operating system. It installs a new operating system.”[1] This is the idea that needs to be heard in our society. The gospel message is not Jesus died and rose for you, therefore trust in Him. The gospel message is Jesus died, rose again, ascended and He now demands your total allegiance. The Church needs a wholistic message to a wholistic people.[2] Embracing the Christian message means embracing all of it. We are new creation in Him and we live New Creation lives in His presence. Most especially, this morning, we are filled with a new joy and a new song as we sing to our ascended Lord. So, let us prepare our hearts to declare the praises of our King.
