Jesus had to die, but have we?

Divas, as I contemplate over the question, "Why Jesus had to die," I ask myself the question, "Have I truly died to this world and my love for it or the things in this world?"

Old things must pass away before all things can become new Ladies. Have we truly traded in our "worldly shoes" to be "women walking worthy?"

What is in your life that you have not died to? What in your life must you carry to Golgotha and allow to die in order that you be resurrected to the new you?

Ladies, as we reflect during this advent season and we recall the sacrifice Christ made for us, what if any have we made to follow him? Have we died to the unfruitful works of the flesh and death or are we yet with one foot in the world and the other in church?

May our life reflect a total surrender to the power of the Holy Spirit, walking in the newness of life afforded to us by the life, death, and resurrection of Christ! May our living may not be in vain! May every step we trod be that of worthiness and not worldliness!

In Jesus' name I pray, Amen!
