Jesus does not hit "Snooze" on your sins, to revisit them later. He's hit "Dismiss", once and for all. #EnjoyYourDay
Whatever you've done this weekend, whatever you will do this week, God's love is as free as the sunshine. (Matt 5:45) #EnjoyYourDay
Many define sin as essentially "exalting yourself". Ok, so does Jesus at times. But what does that look like? Being a Pharisee: Luke 18:9-14
The Good Shepherd has not retired. The One who gave His life for you watches over, guides, feeds and protects you right now. #EnjoyYourDay

Liberty, Equality, Fraternity - a pale imitation of the grace, love and communion of the triune God (2 Cor 13:14).
There's a saying in poker: If you can't spot the sucker at your table, it's you. Let's adapt it 4 the church: if u cant spot the Pharisee...
You don't just have Olympic gold in your country's name, you have the crown of life in Jesus' name (1 Cor 15:57) #EnjoyYourDay
Matt 3: Jesus might've come 2 the sinners convention 2judge, v12. It'd be amazing if He came 2baptize, v11. But He comes 2BE baptized, v13!
Jesus baptizing sinners is wonderful (Matt 3:11). But the Real grace of the gospel is Jesus *being* baptized 4 sinners
Today the Father and Son are working hard to bring life, hope and dignity (John 5:17). #EnjoyYourDay
Few know yr middle name, yr mother knows yr blood type, yr Father's numbered yr hairs. Not just supernatural knowledge - intimate knowledge.

Jesus encamps around you, the Spirit fills you, the Father beams at you. #EnjoyYourDay

The Risen Lord cooks breakfast for total failures (Jn 21). He hasnt changed in 2000 years. He loves u just the same. #EnjoyYourDay
God is not just forgiving, He's Father. You're not just accepted, you're adopted. #EnjoyYourDay
Isaiah's vision of the future: "On THAT day... On THIS mountain." (Everywhere, see eg Is 25) Our home is HERE but it's not NOW.
