PSALM 146:5 (ABP)
Those who have the God of Jacob to help them are truly happy. These hopeful people are GOD-dependent.
MATTHEW 26:27-28 (GNT)
Then Jesus took a cup, gave thanks to God, and gave it to them. “Drink it, all of you,” he said; "this is my blood, which seals God's covenant, my blood poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins...."
THE ESSENCE
The people who relate to God through the sacrifice of Christ are the truly happy.
DAILY FODDER
There is irony in how we find full lives through the death of one perfect man.
PRAYER
In this new commandment I hear again how you forgive me and bring hope for this Easter weekend. Thank you for taking the cup of suffering for my sake and pouring out your lifeblood for me. I am filled with remorse for the state of the world but still there's joy, knowing your covenant redeems and overcomes it all. Amen. (Daily Texts, Ground Up Grace edition)
