Resurrection Sunday



Scripture References: Matthew 28

                                       Mark 16
                                       Luke 24
                                      John 20-21


*Please read and meditate on these Scriptures*

Summary: Jesus has resurrected from the dead! After first appearing to Mary Magdalene and other women, Jesus instructs them to tell the disciples that He is alive. What’s interesting is that the disciples (except for John the Apostle) all abandoned Jesus during His Crucifixion. But now He is ready to receive them and commission them. The Resurrection of Jesus Christ is the foundational doctrine of the Christian faith.

                     Prayer

Oh Risen Christ,

You have officially defeated and conquered death. The grave could not contain You. According to 1 Corinthians 15, if it wasn’t for Your Resurrection, then our faith would be in vain and we would still be dead in our sins. Because You rose from the dead, we have salvation and reconciliation with the Father in Heaven.

Lord, thank You for loving us so much that You died for us. Thank you for coming down to earth to offer salvation. We don’t deserve it. You don’t owe it to us. Let us as Your Church have hearts of eternal gratitude to You, our Eternal King. 

Amen

Holy Wednesday

        Scripture Reference: Luke 22:1-6 Summary: As the Passover Feast approaches, the chief priests and scribes begin conspiring to kill Jesus. They discover they have an ally, Judas Iscariot, who agrees to betray Jesus for a price.                        Prayer Holy Savior, Many times we criticize Judas for betraying You. But how often have we betrayed Your Holy Majesty through our sins? Through our irreverence and sacrilege?  Lord, forgive us! Make us clean! Remove idolatry from our hearts and Give us hearts with total and committed loyalty to You. Let us not be entangled with the things of this world, the lust of the eyes and the pride of life. Renew a right spirit within us and help us to abide in You. Amen

Holy Week Update

  Hello Everyone! Holy Week starts tomorrow and I just wanted to give you some updates. I am still planning on working on the Daniel devotions. I haven’t forgotten about them. I’ve been busy with work, church and just being exhausted.  As for Holy Week, I decided to do something different. Instead of writing my insights on Holy Week Scriptures (like I did last year), I decided to write prayers for each day. The Bible command us to pray without ceasing (1 Thessalonians 5:17). Also, it is impossible to have a devotional life without prayer. I will post the Sculpture references and encourage reading them as well as praying. Also feel free to look back at the Holy Week devotionals from last year.  May God bless you as you pursue Him!
