The Church That Jesus Has Purchased

Acts 20:28, "...feed the church of God, which he purchased with His own blood."

There is a church that the Lord Jesus Christ has purchased with His own blood. It is a church that was born in the fires of the Holy Ghost (Luke 24:49, Acts 2:1-4). It is the place where all of God's glory dwells (John 17:22). It is a church where of signs, wonders & miracles are an everyday occurrence (Acts 5:12, Mark 16:17-18). It is a church that shines as a divine beacon of light in a dark and corrupt world (John 12:26).

This is the church that Jesus has purchased. This is the church that He preached, He demonstrated, He suffered for, He bleed for, and He died for. This is the church that He rose again for. This is the church that He has given.

All are welcome to join this church! Jesus said, "Any that come to me I will in no wise cast out." While we were yet sinners Christ suffered and died for us (Romans 5:8). Paul preached that we were Christ's joy as he hung on the cross, for He knew what he was doing; He was purchasing our place in His church (Hebrews 12:2).

Though all are welcome to come to Jesus just as we are, a transformation is required in order join the church of the Lord Jesus Christ. In exchange for our failures and faults Jesus offers humanity a new nature, a new heart, and a new life (Ezekiel 36:26, Romans 6:3-4).

As a light shining on a hill, the church of the Lord Jesus Christ remains available for all who would trade in their life, repent and be converted, and take on the nature of Christ Jesus (Acts 3:19).

Repent and be converted, for the kingdom of God has come nigh unto you. Amen.
