Do you deserve Jesus?

Howdy!

So I know that this may be a weird question to ask, and I probably shouldn't be asking, but I have a point trust me.

Try to answer these questions honestly:

Do you deserve Jesus?
Do you deserve what He did for you?
Do you appreciate what He has done for you?
How do you show that appreciation?
If you don't appreciate it, why not?
Are you living in a way to deserve Him?

I know these are questions that are personal and hard to answer. Honestly, if we answer these questions ourselves, some of them aren't very positive.

To our finite minds, we may think that we don't deserve Jesus, that we have done too much bad, that we have become so far away from him that there is no possible way for us ti return. We let others fill our minds with doubt, and let them tell us we are not good enough to deserve Jesus.

The horrible thing is that we believe it. We let all of the negativity of what we and what others think of us get us down. We start to believe the lies of the world.

We start to believe that we are nothing, that we have no future, that life ends at death.

But I am here to tell you how very wrong that is.

I have recently been filling my life with as much, for lack of a better term, Jesus as possible. I have come to some very important realizations.

We, as a whole, do not and cannot understand the infinite love that Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ have for us! They love us no matter what! It's not conditional. Heavenly Father loves us so much that he was willing to let us have our agency. He knew that some of His children would turn their back to Him, He knew that we would make mistakes, He knew that we would go through tremendous pain. He knew that there was only one way for us to get through it all so that we could have the experiences and knowledge we needed to be with Him again.

That way was Jesus Christ. That way is the atonement. That way, is the only way for all of the hurt of this world to be worth it. That way, is the only way the joy and love could be eternal.

Heavenly Father sent His son, Jesus Christ to come to Earth, to live a perfect life, to teach, to preform miracles, to show us how to love, and show us how to live. This hurt Heavenly Father. He watched His son die, in pain, so that we could live.

Jesus Christ died on the cross to save all of us. He had to balance the scales of justice and mercy.  He did this so that when we sinned, we would be able to repent and be clean. He did this so we could live a life that we wanted to, and choose what to do or not to do. We get to choose how we live because of their love.

But, that is not that most amazing part to me. The most amazing thing about the atonement in my opinion is that Christ would do it all, for ONE of us. Yes, you read that correctly, if He needed to Christ would still go through the pain of being crucified for one single person.

How amazing is that love? How does that change how you see what He has done? I want to go back to my first question. Do you deserve Jesus Christ? Do you deserve to have Him die for you?

You still might think you don't, and to the world you don't... but you do! You can't let anyone talk you out of this truth! I am aware that it is hard to believe and you don't feel like you are worth it, but to Them, you are. There is also only one way to to show Them how grateful we are.

We obey Their will. Simply said, not easily executed, but always worth it.

So this Easter season, I wish, hope, and pray that you search out Jesus Christ and Heavenly Father. Test Them and their love. They will never leave you alone, they love you.
