Today's Serving of JOY JUICE

Have you had your JOY JUICE today?  When people hear YOUR name mentioned, do they have JOYful thoughts?  Let me give you a few names and see what comes to mind:

Adolph Hitler

Charles Manson

Osama bin Laden

Abraham Lincoln

Mother Teresa

Billy Graham

            Do you see how a name instantly brings certain thoughts to our minds?

            What kind of legacy do you want to leave?  I think we’d all agree that we want our name to be remembered in a positive light.  Let’s look to Jesus for our example. Even for non-Christians, Jesus has a name that is highly regarded and much respected. Ironically, the very people who put Him to death, could find no fault in him!

The Bible makes it clear that Jesus Christ lived an exceptional life. Certainly, a life well worth imitating. But more than that, Jesus is the very image of God. If that’s true, then where could we possibly find a better role model?

And here’s the best news of all…We can take on the name of Jesus and have His good reputation as our own. By becoming a Christian, we are given a second chance to rebuild our reputation, to restore our good name, to lead a truly exceptional life.  Doesn’t that give you great hope and make your JOY JUICE cup overflow!?
