"And there is salvation in no one else; for there is no other name under heaven that has been given among men by which we must be saved." -Acts 4:12 (NASB)
Each year I have students that are determined to find the easy way to do an assignment or project. They search for a way to do as little work as possible with the best grade possible, often spending more time and energy looking for a shortcut than it would take to complete the assignment. We sometimes follow the same course of action in our lives. We tend to look for the easiest way to happiness, fulfillment, and a better life even when the answer is right in front of us!
When we feel the need to search for the shortcut to happiness in life, we need to stop and remember the words from Acts 4:12. There is only one person that can allow us to be redeemed, than can allow us to have a personal relationship with God, and that can allow us to be fulfilled here on earth and for eternity! We can search high and low. We can invest large amounts of time, energy, and money, but in the end there is only one way, one person, and He is waiting for us! Belief in the one true, risen Savior, Jesus Christ, is all we need to be fulfilled forever!
Don't look for a shortcut, turn to Jesus for salvation and fulfillment!
Prayer:
Dear God-
Thank You for Your perfect plan of salvation. Help me to remember that Jesus is waiting for me, ready to help me build a relationship with You that will offer me fulfillment now and forever. Through Jesus, the Savior, I pray, amen.
