Good Thursday to all. Last night we called the church to a
time of fasting and praying for the next 21 days. We are
doing this with an emphasis on the lost. We are asking you to commit
to fast something ( a meal, an activity) and spend that time reading
through the book of John and pray for 3 lost people. In the 21 days
you make a point to invite them to church. There are commitment
cards on the communion table in the church. Join me in this time of
serious prayer and fasting for the lost. Easter is coming and this would
be a great time to invite and encourge someone to come to Christ.
" Will you be the one"
BIBLE MEDITATION
"And that He was buried, and that He rose again the third day according to the Scriptures." 1 Corinthians 15:4
DEVOTIONAL THOUGHT
One of the grandest blessings in the entire Bible is often missed by believers. It is the burial of Jesus Christ! That's right! The burial of Jesus is a blessing to you. Because not only have we died with Him, we have been buried with Him.
When Jewish people died in Bible times, they were immediately embalmed with special oils and wrapped in linen. The body was hidden and buried in a tomb. That is what Jesus has done with our old body of sin.
Not only have we been crucified with Christ, we have been buried with Christ. Why the emphasis? So that you will not be haunted by the ghost of guilt. Your old life is not just dead, it's buried!
ACTION POINT
The devil will try to remind you what you were. Don't let him. Don't go prowling around in the dead bones of your old life. It is gone by the grace of God!
