No Conditions
John 15:13 “There is no greater love than to lay down one’s life for one’s friends”
Yesterday’s devotional ended on a sober note. How could that child die for a mother who probably was not even worth it? We do not often say things like that in such situations, but we think about it. Read the rest of this entry
Childlike
Mark 10:14 “…Let the children come to me. Don’t stop them! For the Kingdom of God belongs to those who are like these children. 15 I tell you the truth, anyone who doesn’t receive the Kingdom of God like a child will never enter it.” [with emphasis].
When God looks at you and calls you champion, it is not wishful thinking or motivational speaking. God is not just trying to make you feel good and He is not just trying to pep you up. Read the rest of this entry
Champion?
Judges 6:12 “The angel of the Lord appeared to him and said, “Mighty hero, the Lord is with you!”
I can imagine that Gideon was probably alarmed because what the Angel was saying was nothing close to what he could see with his own two eyes. Read the rest of this entry
Potential
Isa.9:6 (KJV, with emphasis) “For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.”
The Bible says that the responsibility of governance, the responsibility of human leadership will rest upon the shoulders of this child. The peace you and I are looking for is in our alignment with the right government. Read the rest of this entry
Uncommon
Isa.55:8 “My thoughts are nothing like your thoughts,” says the Lord. “And my ways are far beyond anything you could imagine. 9 For just as the heavens are higher than the earth, so my ways are higher than your ways and my thoughts higher than your thoughts.”
When I first gave my life to Christ, I would pray about something, but I would not stop at praying alone. I would also give God several options and methods He can use to execute my request. Read the rest of this entry
Step Up
Rev.5:9 “…You are worthy to take the scroll and break its seals and open it. For you were slaughtered, and your blood has ransomed people for God from every tribe and language and people and nation. 10 And you have caused them to become a Kingdom of priests for our God…”
The final prophecy that we would be looking at is: the Messiah would be seated at God’s right hand. Read the rest of this entry
Accurate Account
John 19: 35 “(This report is from an eyewitness giving an accurate account. He speaks the truth so that you also may continue to believe.)” [with emphasis]
Every single prophesy was fulfilled in Christ Jesus – all! The next prophecy we would examine is, the Messiah’s bones would not be broken. The prophecy is in Read the rest of this entry
Unquestionable
Rev.19:10 (Voice) “…Stop it. Don’t you see? I am a servant like you and your brothers and sisters, all who hold fast to the testimony of Jesus. Address your worship to God, not to me! For the testimony about Jesus is essentially the prophetic spirit.”
It was prophesied that the Messiah would be forsaken by God. The prophecy is in Ps.22:1 “My God, my God, why have you abandoned me? Why are you so far away when I groan for help?” [with emphasis]. Read the rest of this entry
Foretold & Fulfilled!
Rev.19:10 “Then I fell down at his feet to worship him, but he said, “No, don’t worship me. I am a servant of God, just like you and your brothers and sisters who testify about their faith in Jesus. Worship only God. For the essence of prophecy is to give a clear witness for Jesus.”
The next prophecy we would be considering is, the Soldiers would gamble for Messiah’s clothes. It was prophesied that the soldiers will gamble for Jesus clothes. Read the rest of this entry
Response-ability
Luke 23:32 “Two others, both criminals, were led out to be executed with him. 33 When they came to a place called The Skull, they nailed him to the cross. And the criminals were also crucified—one on his right and one on his left.”
The fact that Jesus came, and Jesus associated with the low lives is not an automatic salvation for them. The fact that Jesus has paid the price for us does not make salvation automatic. Read the rest of this entry
