Receiving Jesus
What happened to you when YOU received Jesus? Do you remember? A man named Sanger said, "When I received Jesus - its like I swallowed the sunshine."
David Livingstone, the great missionary, said "When I first trusted Christ I felt like I was instantly healed of COLORBLINDNESS."
Receiving Jesus means we have a new ray of sunshine where once was complete darkness. Receiviing Jesus is like seeing for the first time.
A missionary shares that a native accepted Christ alone for his salvation. Often, in this remote country a new believer will be given a new name because his family disowns him, or his old name is a PAGAN name. Once a man received Christ and the new name he chose for himself was "after". He said everything good that happened in his life happened after Jesus became his savior and his Lord.
