Show Me Where You WereSample

Where and how can I run from this? If only there was a way out. Is there?

Friend, did you know that in Jesus you always have an escape? No matter your situation, when you set your love upon Jesus and call on His name, He promises to answer and deliver you. So many times, in life, it seems we need an escape. Can you remember the last time you thought to yourself, If only there was a way out? Or maybe you’re currently in a situation where you’ve been praying for a way out and an escape from a situation, person, or pattern that continues to lead to defeat or even darkness?

Beloved, there is good news for you today. Although it may feel like you’re on your own, Jesus is with you. He has already gone before you, providing a way out and an escape from every path that leads to destruction or death. Jesus is the way out. Jesus is the escape.

For the criminals who hung next to Jesus, it seemed that they got what they deserved. The criminals on the cross were reaping the consequences for their actions, but when one called on the name of Jesus—everything changed.

Physically, it was impossible for the man who was once a criminal to escape. There was nothing he could do in his own strength or willpower to save himself. He needed an escape and only Jesus could be what he needed.

By calling on His name, the earthly criminal was set free from eternal death and completely forgiven. He didn’t hop off the cross and find his own way out; no, Jesus was his only hope. And Jesus is our only hope.

Friend, we once were all criminals, guilty of small things and large, and they all deserved death under the Old Covenant. But our escape is the same as the criminal who hung next to Jesus on the cross. Your way out, your rescue, is simply calling on His name. Jesus will be with you. He will rescue you. And He will be your escape from every form of darkness.
