God's Glory Church

“For God’s grace has appeared, which saves all people.” — Titus 2:11

A few years ago, a popular song rose to the top of the music charts, in which the choir sings the chorus: “Jesus is coming with me.” Behind these words lies an impressive story.

The choir was created by jazz musician Curtis Lundy when he began treatment for cocaine addiction. Gathering friends who also suffered from this addiction and finding inspiration in old hymns, Curtis wrote the chorus as an anthem of hope for those in treatment. One of the choristers said this about the song: “We sang for our lives. We asked Jesus to save us, to help us get rid of drug addiction.” Another chorister said that while singing, she felt her chronic pain subside. This choir didn’t just sing words, it prayed for salvation.

Today’s Bible text perfectly reflects their experience. In Christ, God offers salvation to all people (Titus 2:11). Part of this gift is eternal life (v. 13), but God works in us even now, helping us to regain self-control and say “no” to the passions of the world, and freeing us to live with Him (vv. 12, 14). The choristers were convinced by their own experience that Jesus not only forgives our sins. He frees us from a harmful way of life.

Jesus walks with me. And with you. And with everyone who turns to Him for help. He is with us. He offers hope for the future and salvation now.

What do you need Jesus to change in you? How sincerely do you ask Him for this?

Lord Jesus, I need You. Forgive my sins, free me from bad habits and change me from the inside.
