“HE will show you a large upper room-FURNISHED and all ready” Mark 14:15
MANY OF US-continue to LIVE LIVES bound by sin-WE NEED to REMEMBER that Jesus POURED himself out-emptied himself out to RELEASE US from our sin-we need to REMEMBER GOD'S INCREDIBLE workings in our lives-we NEED to remember that our lives are a GIFT-that they are something special-and we NOT to throw them away on the choice of LIVING a life bound to sin-but BOUND to his GRACE
WE NEED to remember that Jesus POURED himself out-and it is time for our PERSONAL PASSOVER from living lives as slaves to LIVING LIVES totally free-JESUS FREED US from our sins-you do NOT have to live lives bound to sin any more
Jesus ALLOWED his body to be BROKEN for us-he POURED OUT his body and blood for us-to PROCLAIM the GOSPEL OF LOVE
LOVE GOD and LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR
It is time for the PERSONAL PASSOVER of our lives-to LIVE by the SPIRIT and not by the flesh-it is TIME TO REMEMBER that Jesus RELEASED US from the personal demons of our lives-ARE YOU READY?-it is time for you to go to your UPPER ROOM-and live a life-as Jesus taught us-a life RELEASED from our personal demons-a life dedicated to GOD AND CHRIST
WE HAVE BEEN RELEASED
it is a great day to be ALIVE in GOD'S LOVE for us-and a great day to BEGIN TO LIVE a life-dedicated to GOD AND CHRIST

RELEASE US
In the time of our Lord
There was a custom
For a prisoner to be released
At a feast
At this particular time
There were two such prisoners
Jesus---the so-called SON OF GOD
Or Barabbas---a notorious thief and murderer
“Which one do you want me to release to you
Barabbas or Jesus, who is called Christ?”
asked the Roman ruler Pilate
“Barabbas---Barabbas,” the crowd yelled
“What about Jesus?” Pilate said
“Crucify him---crucify him”---the crowd yelled yet again
While it would be easy
To blame
The people of Christ’s day
Do your really think
It would be any different today
We live
In a godless society
For the most part
And if
There was a Christ-like figure
And a Charles Manson type figure
Who would the people choose
In today’s world
We know that that
Is not going to happen
So we pray to you---Dear Lord
To please release us
Release us
From the coldness---the indifference
---the ingratitude---the luke warmness
And the rejection of our fellow man
In today’s world
And replace it
WITH YOUR LOVE
