It is described as a load lifted or a cloud dispelled, as peace come upon us and joy sparked within us.

“Felt” religion, though it is the opposite of the blind hope that defines all other religion, is an occurrence commonly acclaimed in the Christian experience.

We cannot separate the assurance felt from our becoming a Christian from the fact that we did one day change from not knowing and questioning to knowing with confidence and believing that in receiving Christ we had sensed our sin ‘washed away.’

“Grace” is that marvelous kindness which overcomes our wrong doing so thoroughly that our conscience, we know – we sense it – has been purged of the guilt and shame which had before taken residence in our being.

Christians continuously throughout their lives return to their ‘First Love,’ to the foot of His cross where they first met the LORD. And meet Him indeed they did.

At the foot of the cross we recognize the unique claim upon us and for us.  He died in our place, and He bequeathed to those willing to be His heirs, “more than we could ask or think.”

“Son,” taught Jesus, is what the Father of lost persons said, “All that I have is yours; but this, your brother was lost and now is found.” (Luke 15:31).

Complicated religious scholars did not show in their scripture what Jesus did.   God is not interested in shaming or in blaming.  He looks forward to the day when the once wayward (all of us) have turned unto Him.

Who is this prodigal now come home?  Is it you dear reader? Then believe for the feast which the Father prepares for those who come to Him.

The day is fast approaching; soon the sound will be heard:  “Come, for all things are now ready,” but only for those who have” received the promise of eternal inheritance.”  Luke 14:17, Hebrews 9:15

“And for this cause,” the death of Jesus on Calvary that day produced––caused an inheritance which is then and now up for grabs.  Who in their right mind would not like for their ship to come in, to receive all they could ever need, adopted in to the very family of God the only Almighty.

Can we not see the necessity of the Savior; the outstretched hand that lent His Son to such a cause?

Do we not see the perversion of good which has swept in upon our sons and daughters just in these recent years?

Do we not notice disfigured bodies from substance abuse, a major cause of suffering, broken homes––ruined marriages?

We also know of some whose lives have been saved from destruction, rescued by the Great Shepherd, who found comfort rather than the scolding known to accompany most religion. “Thy rod and Thy staff, they comfort me,” King David professed.  (Psalm 23)

Those who sense fear when hearing that “God is a consuming fire,” have not yet realized the human need for His lovely laser brilliance to touch them. (Hebrews 12:29)

“And for this cause,” we can have a conscience sprinkled clean through the miracle working touch which defines true Christianity.  Jesus is our Mediator, not the church, not the ministers or priests, not even the blessed water or the human touch:  HE––Touched me wrote the songwriter, “And made me whole.”

“And for this cause;” because of all that was involved in the crucifixion of Jesus that day we may have a new life where the Mediator abides faithful to His new acquaintance and friend. “I call you no longer servants, I call you friends.” (John 15:15)

“I will put in your a new heart––a right spirit. . . ” (Ezekiel 11:19)

“I will be to you, a God; and you will be to me, a people.” (Exodus 6:7)

“And for this cause:” Because it has happened to us, and because we desire that others may know the truth of it we write, share, and lean upon Him the only Mediator of life and love.

“And for this cause:” Oh, reader, trust Him now.
