Rich in mercy.
It makes me wonder what characteristic someone would say I’m rich in. Jesus, help me to be more like you.

What stood out for me today is the double entry. Jesus took that punishment for us, he did that so we could live eternally with the Father. That we can live again with a renewed faith and zest for the life he has prepared for us.

I think it can be easy to see all the despair in the world and mayhem in home life and not take a few beats each day to just appreciate this is a new day, a day God gave us to shine for him! I need to appreciate that opportunity and say amem to the start of another beautiful day! My sins have been forgiven so live like it, God did that for me!

Clinging to His Resurrection, clinging to the God of life. Death did not, cannot hold him. My very young son has surgery tomorrow and my heart has been heavy —concerned, beyond anxious and in tears about the risk for death. Truly testing of my faith (James 1).I have grieved that sin fractured this world and brought death, BUT GOD! Oh the good news is realized deep. The Holy Spirit answered in my desperation for the report to not have the last word. He put into my mind and heart that God is the God of life. That physically, mentally, emotionally, spiritually sin only offers death, but Jesus rose again and we, little Christs, with him! My anxiety replaced with His reassuring presence and peace. Only through Jesus and his grace. This momma will cling as tight as he’ll let me. He will hold me fast through death and sin into life everlasting now and always! Thank you Lord for life in you. Sisters, please know our hope is not in vain and it is as much for right now as it is when Christ returns. I’d appreciate your prayers for my son as well.

I think it was one of the last devotionals of the previous study (Lent 2023) that posed a question about what it would mean for us if Jesus had not been resurrected. I hadn’t thought about it before. Through his death he took on the punishment for our sins, and without his sacrifice we would still not be forgiven for our sins. We’d still be living in the Old Testament. So it seemed very clear what it would mean if he hadn’t been crucified. But what about resurrection? What if that hadn’t happened? I feel like today’s writing encapsulates that distinction of what was accomplished through Christ’s death and what was accomplished by his resurrection. He didn’t just take on our punishment for sin, he overcame sin and death and he offers us salvation and the opportunity to join him in that new life.

@Jennifer Anapol love the comment about sin not getting the last word. I often get overwhelmed thinking about all my sins and how I am not worthy of his forgiveness but it’s so nice to remember it doesn’t get the last day. @Foster Mama praying your meeting went well and the Lord was able to make all things right during it. Praying for all of you ladies today and your specific needs. Happy Tuesday!

10 For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them. – Ephesians 2:10….. this verse hit me differently tonight. There’s something so loving about God allowing us to be a part of his works. Preparing the way and planning, so that we can know and experience what it is like to love.
