Sunday Inspiration

        So I think I'm going to start something new here on the blog: posting a song a verse every Sunday as some spiritual inspiration for the week. So this week.....

Lay Me Down by Chris Tomlin:
(Sorry, I can't figure out how to embed the video)
I love this song. So much. It's my favorite song of all time. (yes, even more than Roar by Katy Perry) (that's not saying much cause I don't really like that song) But anyways, I love this song because it so accurately describes what I'm trying to do every day in every part of my life: lay it down. I don't understand why this song isn't more popular. I've never heard it on the radio. They never play it at church. My friends have never heard of it. Why? I don't know. I love it and it's been very powerful in my life. 

My verse of the week:
Acts 13:38-39
Therefore, my brothers, I want you to know that through Jesus the forgiveness of sins is proclaimed to you. Through Him everyone who believes is justified from everything you could not be justified from by the law of Moses. 
I love this verse because it's similar, but not the same, to John 3:16. I love this verse because it centers on Jesus, the center of my life. I love how it's basically saying, "Through Jesus you are not only saved from your sins you would normally be saved from by sacrificing, but also those from which not amount of sacrificing could save you from." Jesus is not only the greatest sacrifice, He is all the sacrifices and more.
