Jesus Dies for You and for Me

John 18:28-40
Jesus' Trial Before Pilate
Jesus was brought before the Roman govenor so he could be executed since the Jewish had no authority to sentence anyone to death. Pilate, after questioning Jesus, realized he was no criminal.  He asked the Jewish people if they wanted to have him released on Passover.  To this, they said they would rather Pilate release Barabbas, a known criminal over Jesus.

How sad... very sad...

Hebrews 2:5-10
Jesus, the Man
By God's grace, Jesus tasted death for everyone in all the world. (9)

I am reminded that it is by God's grace I am as blessed as I am.  Father thank you for your continued outpouring of love for me.  I ask that you give me the will power needed to glorify you in all aspects of my life.  Please purge the negative energy from my life, allow me to transform it into something positive... like shedding some much needed weight.
