Hold on to Christ’s commands:
Through the Spirit he gives
Because he lives
It sounds simple: Love God; love others. Serve God, serve others. This is easier said than done, but nothing is easier said than done for Jesus. He made amazing promises that sound impossible, promises to send the Holy Spirit and to live beyond death and the grave.
He did it. He died for you and he rose again and now he invites us to do what without him would be impossible. Hold on to his commands. Tell others the great and wonderful works of Jesus our living Lord!
