Jesus Explains Why God Sent Him

There are many awesome "benefits" of a relationship with Jesus, but this is the ultimate: We can be born again!  A new life, a fresh start, a clean slate! 

John 3:16 is so familiar that it's tempting to skim it without taking its full meaning to heart.  So stop for a moment and reread it.  Now imagine you're Nicodemus.  How would Jesus' words impact you?  What would your questions be?  What would you want to say to Jesus?  Go ahead and say it in a prayer right now.....

Jesus Clears Merchants from the Temple

How have distracting thoughts, efforts to appear spiritual, or focus on self hindered your own sincere worship?  Take a moment to physically bow down before God.  Spend time silently cleansing out the "temple courts" in your life and praising God with a sincere heart!
