“I am the Lord’s servant,” Mary answered. “May your word to me be fulfilled.” Then the angel left her. (Luke 1:38)
Our Savior dwelt among men and set the example intended because He said YES!
When all the people were being baptized, Jesus was baptized too. And as he was praying, heaven was opened and the Holy Spirit descended on him in bodily form like a dove. And a voice came from heaven: “You are my Son, whom I love; with you I am well pleased.”
Now Jesus himself was about thirty years old when he began his ministry. (Luke 3:21-23)
Our Savior was tested; but, He remained sinless, pure and perfect because He said YES!
Jesus, full of the Holy Spirit, left the Jordan and was led by the Spirit into the wilderness, where for forty days he was tempted by the devil. He ate nothing during those days, and at the end of them he was hungry. (Luke 4:1-2)
Our Savior allowed God to shine through Him in every act because He said YES!
“The Spirit of the Lord is on me,
because he has anointed me
to proclaim good news to the poor.
He has sent me to proclaim freedom for the prisoners
and recovery of sight for the blind,
to set the oppressed free,
to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor.” (Luke 4:18-19)
because he has anointed me
to proclaim good news to the poor.
He has sent me to proclaim freedom for the prisoners
and recovery of sight for the blind,
to set the oppressed free,
to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor.” (Luke 4:18-19)
Our Savior endured rejection, beatings, slander, false accusation and death upon a cross because He said YES!
It was now about noon, and darkness came over the whole land until three in the afternoon, for the sun stopped shining. And the curtain of the temple was torn in two. Jesus called out with a loud voice, “Father, into your hands I commit my spirit.” When he had said this, he breathed his last. (Luke 23:44-46)
Our Savior lay in a tomb for three days, appeared one last time to His disciples and then rose to Heaven because He said YES!
While he was blessing them, he left them and was taken up into heaven. (Luke 24:51)
Our Savior never once denied His plan and purpose for being here on Earth. He continually looked to our Father for guidance and strength. God provided the power to perform miraculous acts and set the example for us to follow. Our God gave us a Savior to wash away our sins. We wake up today, better than blessed, because one man said YES! Jesus, our Lord and Savior, completed His plan so we now may say YES!
Do you believe in Him? Have you accepted what Jesus did for to live?
Jesus died on the cross, was buried and rose again to live with our Father. He did this for you and for me. He lives within us and yearns to be active in our lives. Use the Holy Spirit in everything done here on Earth. We took our first breath because God said YES to our creation. He planned our days and waits for us to approach Him for guidance. Trust in the promises made, believe in the Truth provided and live boldly for our Father. He never leaves nor forsakes you. He fulfills every promise made, comforts and heals with His mighty hand and equips each of us with His Word to spread to others so they may come to know Him.
Will you say YES to Him today? Remember, He rose and is alive and well within you.
God, thank you for another day. Thank You for saying YES to my life. Thank You for planning every detail. I reach to You for strength to fulfill life's plan. Give me the words and actions needed to further Your Kingdom everywhere You lead. Thank You for sacrificing Your only Son so I may live. I love You.
Keep praying harder than the devil can work.
