Arise, O Lord!
Do not let mere mortals defy you!
MARK 9:31 (GNT)
Jesus was teaching his disciples: “The Son of Man will be handed over to those who will kill him. Three days later, however, he will rise to life.”
THE ESSENCE
Resurrection is the final defining word.
DAILY FODDER
Death couldn't keep Jesus down. And when we're partnered with him, it won't keep us down either.
PRAYER
Your resurrection power, Lord, is hidden from all who don’t know you. Keep my faith strong. I don't want any fear of others or even of death to hold me back from witnessing to your risen presence. Give me courage to follow you wherever you lead me. My life is hidden in you. Amen. (Daily Texts, Ground Up Grace edition)
