Sent him to bless you

2024-10-27

Unto you first God, having raised up his Son Jesus, sent him to bless you, in turning away every one of you from his iniquities. (Acts 3:26)

Raising Jesus from the dead results in the blessing of us being turned away from our sins. The risen Christ is the power over sin. This is the greatest blessing of all, that we need not pine away in our sin, thinking that we are helpless to overcome it as Christians. He gave us a new life that when sought by faith, we can walk in the life of Jesus Christ. Repent of your sins, they say? Better yet, He turns us from our sins. The power to do good and refrain from evil is only found in Jesus Christ.
