EXTRAORDINARY

I gave you this word this morning because it describes Me.  When you looked this word up in your dictionary, you understood why.  Several definitions for the word, "extraordinary," are: "going beyond the ordinary; out of the usual order; exceptional; remarkable; sent on a special errand; having special authority and responsibility; an envoy (an agent sent by someone in authority)."

I am truly your "extraordinary Savior."  I was sent by My Father on a special mission: "To provide a way of redeeming the world from sin."  I led a life that was certainly beyond the ordinary.  In fact, it was remarkable.  My responsibility was to do My Father's will and in that process, I revealed the character of My Father. 

Now My responsibility is to reveal to you how estraordinary My Kingdom is.  My Kingdom goes far beyond the ordinary that the world presents.  My Kingdom goes beyond the darkness, suffering, strife, and tribulation that exists in the world because I overcame all that is in the world. When you allow Me to live in your earthly vessel, you also will do extraordinary things.  You will have My peace in the midst of tribulation, My joy when sorrow presents itself to you; and My righteousness that cancels your self-righteousness and ushers in My perfect, unblemished, sinless righteousness.
