How Jesus Changed Everythingনমুনা

Ever felt that sinking feeling when you see flashing lights behind your car? Your mind races, your stomach drops, and you start replaying every wrong move. Sadly, a lot of people think that’s how God sees them, always watching for a mistake, ready to lower the hammer.

But Jesus came with a completely different mission. The religious leaders expected a Messiah who would enforce holiness through punishment. Instead, Jesus came to rescue us, not condemn us. And his invitation is for everyone, not just the “good” people.

Shame loves to keep us stuck in guilt and failure. But Jesus meets us right where we are, with freedom and love. When we truly embrace that we are not condemned, it changes how we see ourselves and how we treat others.

Prayer:

Jesus, thank you for coming to save me, not to shame me. When I’m tempted to judge myself or others, remind me of your grace. Help me live in that freedom and extend it to those around me. Amen.
