and from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, the firstborn from the dead, and the ruler of the kings of the earth. To him who loves us and has freed us from our sins by his blood – Revelation 1:5 (NIV)
Jesus has done a lot for us. Today’s verse helps us see a little more of who Jesus really is. It’s easy to get caught up in our own lives, so much so that we don’t realize how much we need Jesus.
The summer with it’s ball games, watching TV, talking to friends can often overshadow our relationship with Jesus. But let today’s verse be a reminder to you of how good Jesus is. Let it remind you that He is worthy and worth serving.
Take some time out of your summer to get to know Him more. It might look like setting your phone down in the morning and pulling out your Bible instead. It could be taking a few minutes before bed to pray or to talk to Him. Be sensitive to His leading, and He will give you an idea of how you can get to know Him more.
It doesn’t matter how much you already know, there’s always room to grow in Him. So realize that Jesus loves us and that He freed us from our sins. Then take some time this summer to get to know the one who did that. Get to know His heart and His love for you. He has good things in store for you!
