We cannot understand the great things he does,
and to his miracles there is no end.
2 CORINTHIANS 4:14 (TCEB)
We know God raised our leader, Jesus, from the dead. We know God’s going to do the same for us. One day he’ll bring us all together, and we’ll stand before him.
THE ESSENCE
Even though we can't understand it, we lean into the resurrection promise to shape our lives now.
DAILY FODDER
What difference does the promised resurrection make in the way you daily live your life?
PRAYER
God, the resurrection is one of those great things we can't fully understand. Forgive us for living as though the full meaning and purpose of our lives is contained in our short lifespans. I try to squeeze everything into 70 or 80 years and am impatient when things are imperfect. Increase my perspective and awareness of the unfolding resurrection life. I'm partnered with the resurrected Jesus and expect to live out his resurrection life until I die and then beyond. Amen.
THE LORD’S PRAYER (ABP)
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.
