I got this


Somebody has to step up. In sports you look for that one moment when everything is on the line and someone steps up. In a movie you wait for the hero to overcome and defeat the bad guy. A term might come up from that person, “I got this.” Something is on the line and a person/hero has the ability to step up and do what is necessary. Whether in real life or a movie, it’s nice to have a go to person.

There was one point I was pretty down in life. I just didn’t really feel like I had much purpose at the time. Hailee got a group of people to come and encourage me and lift me up. In that case they got this. A group of people lifted me up in a rather dark time. Do you have someone in your life who is an “I got this person”?

This is Jesus. Listen to what Paul shares in Romans 8:2-3…

“Because through Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit of life set me free from the law of sin and death. For what the law was powerless to do in that it was weakened by the sinful nature, God did by sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful man to be a sin offering.”

Jesus got this. All your mistakes, errors and fault, Jesus got this. He covered those blemishes you like to hide. Jesus is the ultimate I got this. The Secret Service would take a bullet for the president, Jesus will take a painful death for you. What he did on the cross, he did for you.

If you feel down, alone, like something is missing in life, there is Jesus. We all need this in life, someone to take our place when something bad is going to happen. Jesus is amazing and in power. Even as sinners, he still has our backs. Is that something you need or feel like sharing?

An ultimate I got this guy. This is Jesus. Someone loves you so much they will lay down their life for you. Does this change your view or what you want to do with your life? I hope so in a positive way. Knowing that Jesus is there for me just gives me a level of comfort I can’t always describe. I am in awe of what Jesus did for us. He’s got this.

Have a great day.
