Even If i Walk Alone

Instructing and encouraging you to live your life as a disciple of Jesus

Easter

Why Lord?

April 14, 2022 by Tim Sherfy

When I think of the cross, I can only ask, “Why Lord”? Why would He sacrifice His perfect self for a disgraceful and evil world? The love Jesus demonstrated by His willingness to endure such tremendous loss is overwhelming. The cross cost Jesus everything. In His humanity, it cost Him His dignity and His life. In His divinity, He surrendered the rights of His Lordship over all of Creation long enough to let those He created crucify Him. The very Word of God did not utter a word in His defense.

He humbly gave Himself for us. Jesus laid down His life to atone for your sin and mine. As we approach Good Friday this year, please don’t let it pass without meditating on the incredible sacrifice of our King. It’s not comfortable to think of what He went through on our behalf, but we must dwell on the cost to understand the gravity and necessity of the sacrifice.

Good Friday

April 9, 2020 by Tim Sherfy

What’s so “good” about a Good Friday in the middle of a worldwide pandemic? The answer is everything. In a time where hope is in short supply, Good Friday offers the hope of redemption, salvation, and life as God intended it. The people of the first century were no strangers to disease and sickness. It was a constant companion, only they lacked the medical care and facilities we have today. There were no ventilators, only the breath of life provided by the spirit of God.

There were few doctors, but Jesus, the great physician, healed many with a word or a touch. People saw Jesus not only as an eternal Savior but also as one who could deliver them from their day-to-day troubles. Everything He did was good, and everyone He touched was restored. And then they killed Him.

Jesus is Risen

April 2, 2018 by Tim Sherfy

Long-time readers know Easter is one of the few times of the year I write something time-specific. My hope has always been the articles on this web site will live for years outside of any context, but be helpful to someone whenever they might come across it. Easter is special. It’s my favorite day of the year. It’s the most important day in history. Christmas may have brought God to earth in the form of a man, but it’s Easter which proved He was indeed God and provided the only way to an eternity of peace and joy in the presence of God.

As I write this, Easter is almost a month away; when this post first publishes, Easter will have been yesterday. But the feelings I have about Easter are already about to burst from within. Truly it is good to remember at any time Jesus is risen. He is risen indeed!

Jesus

March 24, 2016 by Tim Sherfy

Two thousand years ago a man walked this earth a little differently than any who had come before him or ever since. He never sought his own welfare or fame. He never wavered from his purpose. Above everything else, this man simply loved people; not for what they could do for him, but rather just because they existed. He didn’t care where they came from or what they had done. It didn’t matter what society thought of them; he saw them as beautiful and priceless.

When he passed the poor, he looked them in the eye and healed their souls. Upon encountering the sick and diseased he reached out and touched them, healing their wounds and washing their scars. In return he never asked for money. He simply loved.
