ISAIAH 33:24 (CEV)
The Lord will forgive your sins,
and none of you will say,
“I feel sick.”
REVELATION 1:17-18 (MSG)
Jesus said, "Don’t fear: I am First, I am Last, I’m Alive. I died, but I came to life, and my life is now forever. See these keys in my hand? They open and lock Death’s doors, they open and lock Hell’s gates."
SUMMARY SENTENCE
Jesus brings comprehensive healing.
DAILY FODDER
If Jesus' long-term goal is to intiate a new order of creation characterized by comprehensive wholness and health, what does that suggest about our mission as his witnesses?
PRAYER
Jesus, you are the beginning and the end. That should calm our fears and fill us with new confidence. Forgive me for worrying over the future. Help me to lean into your forgiveness, healing, and comprehensive reconciliation so that death has no influence over how I think and live. Amen.
Our Father in Heaven,
we hold your name in the highest regard.
Please come and establish your reign here on earth
so that everything that happens here will align
with what is happening in heaven.
Give us enough food for today.
Forgive us our wrongdoing,
and we’ll forgive those who have wronged us.
Shield us from the trials and temptations that come our way.
Lastly, we pray that you would protect us from all forms of evil. Amen!
