Thought for the morning of Tue March 29, 2011
We are told that the Captain of our salvation was made perfect through suffering, therefore we who are sinful, and who are far from being perfect, must not wonder if we are called to pass through suffering too. Shall the head be crowned with thorns, and shall the other members of the body be rocked upon the dainty lap of ease? Must Christ pass through seas of his own blood to win the crown, and are we to walk to heaven dryshod in silver slippers? No, our Master’s experience teaches us that suffering is necessary, and the true-born child of More >
Identity Crisis
In Matthew 28:5, The angel said to the women, “Do not be afraid; for I know that you are looking for Jesus who has been crucified.”
The comfort that God brings to us is unbelievable. He tells those who know Him over and over again not to be afraid. After all, what do we have to be afraid of? It is sad to see the state that Christianity has turned to in the west. Some people who claim to be Christian don’t even believe in the literal Resurrection of Jesus Christ from the grave. However, the having the nicest the suits, sharpest hair cuts, More >

And Jesus gives up His spirit. It is not taken from Him. He is not a victim. He is a willing sacrifice.
Jesus says, “It is finished”, and I used to think that it was a resigned sigh and statement that His physical life was over and He knew it. It happens often when people are near death. My family experienced that phenomenon with my own grandmother. She had spent her entire life as a seamstress … supporting eight children on her own … a lifetime of sewing and pleating, of gathering and stitching. In her last days More >

It is ever the Holy Spirit’s work to turn our eyes away from self to Jesus; but Satan’s work is just the opposite of this, for he is constantly trying to make us regard ourselves instead of Christ. He insinuates, “Your sins are too great for pardon; you have no faith; you do not repent enough; you will never be able to continue to the end; you have not the joy of his children; you have such a wavering hold of Jesus.” All these are thoughts about self, and we shall never find comfort or assurance by looking within.
