Your dead will live...
HEBREWS 12:1 (MSG)
Do you see what this means—all these pioneers who blazed the way, all these veterans cheering us on? It means we’d better get on with it. Strip down, start running—and never quit! No extra spiritual fat, no parasitic sins.
SUMMARY SENTENCE
Press on for death isn't the finish line.
DAILY FODDER
Imagine yourself as among that huge group of Jesus-followers cheering on the coming generations of Christians. What do you think you'll be yelling to them? What do they need to hear?
PRAYER
Loving God, you raised Jesus from the dead and have promised that we'll join him with our own resurrected bodies in the future. Forgive us for living as though the entirety of our existence is wrapped up in the current moment. Give us long lens and motivation to live with the eternal future in mind. I'm preparing now to be among the great cloud of witnesses then. 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!
