out of shame... into marvelous light

Into marvelous light I'm running,
Out of darkness, out of shame.
By the cross you are the truth,
You are the light, you are the way!

Singing these words to this song in church last Sunday, something hit me. Not only should I be celebrating the cross and resurrection this Easter season, I should also be celebrating what Jesus did for me, personally, all over again. I get to run into marvelous light because of Jesus. I get to leave the darkness and the SHAME. That was a big one for me. Jesus took the sins of the world... he took my sins... and once I'm cleared with God, no one can make me feel shameful about the wrongs I've done. I deserve to feel like crap about so many things, but I don't have to because Jesus went to the cross and became the light and the way for me to get to heaven.

I hope I keep that in the front of my mind this Easter weekend... and I pray that others would discover it for the first time.


(ok, obviously not a professional recording but it was the best of YouTube - and still a great song!)
