You are in a favourable position. The Creator of the universe not only breathed life into you, but He put a hedge of protection around you. Nothing can contact you without His consent. Continue ahead with doing God’s will. You believe it’s been excessively long; it didn’t occur in time. So you put the stone over the guarantee, you put the sand over the dream. In any case, you need to do your part and roll away that stone. Begin…
A certain brother came to Abbot Silvanus at Mount Sinai, and seeing the hermits at work, he exclaimed, “Why do you work for the bread that perishes? We read that Mary chose the better part – namely, to sit at the feet of her Lord.” Then the abbot said to his disciple Zachary, “Give the brother a book, and put him in an empty cell, and let him read.” At the ninth hour, the brother who was reading began to…
On the third day, out of the darkness of the tomb walked the Giver of life, the Lord of lords, the Ancient of Days, my God and my Saviour, King of the Jews, King of kings…Jesus Christ… Therefore, I say to you: “Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, in everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.” 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 KJV
Indeed, as a Christian, Easter Day broadcasts that everything is excellent. Saying this probably won’t be with the healthy idealism of one who had never known when everything was not well yet as one who has confronted the cross in the entirety of its profanity just as in the whole of its wonder, who has known somehow what it resembles to live isolated from God. At last, His will, not our own, is done. Love is the victor. Death isn’t…
Yes, nervousness and dread are what we know best right now of our own—wars and bits of gossip about wars. From human advancement itself to what appeared the most unalterable estimations of the past, everything is compromised or as of now in ruins. We have heard so much awful news that when the story is acceptable, we can’t listen to it. However, Easter Day announces that everything is excellent.
Thomas à Kempis said: “Why is it that we are so ready to chatter and gossip with others when we so seldom return to silence without some injury to our conscience? Perhaps the reason we are so fond of talking is that we think to find consolation in this manner; to refresh a spirit wearied with many cares. And so we speak of what we like and dislike, and of the things we desire or despise. But in the end…
Yes, there was but one way by which the sinful could be made righteous, and that was by the Redeemer’s, the Saviour’s taking our place. Exactly, this was what Christ did on the cross; and now His truthful followers share with Him this glory. I say, every time of suffering, testing, sorrow, we have to remember that Christ the Author of Eternal Salvation, Horn and Captain of our Salvation, is always with us, and coming to take us home. That’s…
Yes, Christ perfected God’s eternal plan of Salvation through suffering. He was obedient to the death, even the death of the cross, and through the hardest, cruelty, a sacrificial journey that He made to the cross. It was a suffering indescribable and beyond the touch and power of human thought to discern. Christ perfected a way by which we could be saved. Indeed, when He bore our sin on the cross, the unchanging law of God was in action, and…
In whatever we are facing or whatsoever facing us, our God is ever greater than all. Admittedly, our Redeemer is up to something higher and better! Stop looking at His promises in the natural, the God we serve is supernatural. I say to you, get in pact with Him. Believe that it is Friday, and Sunday is on its way; good things are coming your way. Begin to declare, “LORD, thank You that You’re my defender. Much thanks to You…
Yes, the hope of His Coming today is more durable than yesterday! Remember, today is not called Good Friday because good things are happening right now. Yes, it’s called good because of what LORD JESUS CHRIST promised. And His promises are indeed so, so Good. His promise of Resurrection, His hope of destroying death, His promise of Eternal life. So too numerous to remember: strength, compassion, Love, and much more. So, whatever it is today, it’s Friday….. Sunday is coming,…
