It is a day of quiet anticipation, a pause in the narrative of Christ’s passion and resurrection. Let us delve into the profound meaning of this often overlooked day. 1. The Silence of Holy Saturday On this day, the world stood still. Jesus’ body lay…

The Value of Jesus’ Death for God and Christians

Jesus’ suffering and death on the cross has both infinite and eternal value for both God the Father as well as those trust in Christ as their Savior. From the divine perspective, Jesus is “the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world!” (John 1:29), and this because He went to the cross as the Father directed (John 6:68; 12:27; cf., 26:39, 42). Jesus died in our place (Rom 5:8; 1 Cor…

Claim the Prize Already Paid For

Because God’s children are human beings—made of flesh and blood—the Son also became flesh and blood. For only as a human being could he die, and only by dying could he break the power of the devil, who had the power of death. Hebrews‬ ‭2‬:‭14 When we read this verse, we see that Satan has the power of death. This is far more than physical death. It’s spiritual death. It’s emotional death. It’s…

Gethsemane

Holy Week is a good time to remember what Jesus did for us. He was definitely crushed in soul in the Garden of Gethsemane. This is a good devotional for this week, I hope it helps you reflect on our amazing Savior, Jesus Christ!

Even though I am torn within, and my soul is in turmoil, I will not ask the Father to rescue me from this hour of trial. For I have come to fulfill my purpose — to offer myself to God. So, Father, bring glory to your name!” Then suddenly a booming voice was heard from the sky, “I have glorified my name! And I will glorify it through you again! John 12:27-28 Gethsemane literally means “oil…

Mayday

Image by Alan Dobson from Pixabay I’ve mentioned before that I don’t always sleep when I should. I suffer from “OMS” (Old Man Syndrome). Sometimes, when this is the case, I will turn on the TV. One of the shows I like to watch in the middle of the night is called “Mayday.” They go over actual airplane crashes and report “70% of all air crashes are due to human error.” At one time, I wanted to be…

The end of our internal war

The end of our internal war

The harmonizing of our spirit and our flesh is possible only through faith in Messiah. Matthew 6:7-8 –  “When you are praying, do not heap up empty phrases as the gentiles do, for they think that they will be heard because of their many words. Do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need before you ask him.” If it’s true that God knows what we need before we ask him, then why would…

Are You Ready?

The greatest measure of who we are and what we love is how we spend our time.  Where do you spend most of your time? Most of us spend the majority of it with family, at work, or on hobbies. All of those are important things that we should invest in. But Jesus says there’s another thing that we need to spend time doing. There are a lot of different ideas people have for when Jesus will return,…

Justice

Joshua 7: 23-26. And they took them out of the midst of the tent, and brought them unto Joshua, and unto all the children of Israel, and laid them out before the LORD.

Life's End

“How we live our days is how we live our lives,” someone once remarked. On our return home from youth group last week at Faircreek Church, I diverted upward into a poignant hillside cemetery overlooking Beaver Valley. Humorous questions erupted from our back seats (we now max-out our minivan with 7): “Dad! Where are we going?! Why are we driving into a cemetery? Is that a real tomb?! I think…

A Peace That Passeth All Understanding

God‘s Character Revealed

For the law was given through Moses, but God’s unfailing love and faithfulness came through Jesus Christ. John‬ ‭1‬:‭17‬ When God gave Moses the law, it was to show us as humans, the standards that we would need to keep to be holy and perfect before God. There was no wavering in the law. There was no giving and taking. The standard was set, and if we did not meet the standard, we would be…

The Race

In John 20:3-4, we read: “So Peter and the other disciple started for the tomb. Both were running, but the other disciple outran Peter and reached the tomb first.” This moment of friendly competition between Peter and John gives us a lighthearted glimpse into their human nature. Visualize this with me:John: I won!Peter: Who’s ever gonna’ know?John: (whispers) Everyone’s gonna’ know! Isn’t it…
