- Today of all days is a day to think of everything Christ put up with while on earth. He was mistreated, falsely accused, slandered, verbally and physically abused, and put to death. There is nothing you have ever gone through that Jesus doesn’t understand. Hebrews 4:15-16 “Jesus is not out of touch with our reality. He’s been through weakness and testing, experienced it all—all but the sin. So let’s walk right up to Him and get what He is so ready to give. Take the mercy, accept the help."
- Jesus plowed through all the testing. One definition of plow is “an instrument used for pulverizing.” I love that word – pulverize, which means “reduce to dust or powder – to crush completely.” Jesus plowed through by prayer, wisdom, and love, ultimately allowing Him to defeat death, have victory, and provide us with hope, inspiration, and eternal life.
- This is the greatest truth we will ever hear: Jesus completely
crushed death the moment He rose out of that grave. And because He did that, we can all call
on Him for new beginnings and do-overs in this life. Most
importantly, we invite Him into our hearts so that our souls will never
die. Never ever never!
PRAYER: Dear Lord, Praise Your high and holy
risen name! You totally get us, and we
are grateful because no one on this earth fully understands us. Thank You that You are always ready to give us
the help we need to live this life. We
open our arms wide to receive it! Thank
You that You pulverized death, and one day we will celebrate the glories of a
perfect heaven because of Your sacrifice.
We invite Your resurrection power into every area of our life that needs
newness, restoration, and health. We
invite You to permanently live in our hearts so we can experience forgiveness
of sin and eternal life. AMEN!
