"I am sure of this, that he who began a good work in you will bring it to completion at the day of Jesus Christ."

Philippians 1:6

There was a time when John, the follower of Christ, wanted to call fire down upon the Samaritans. That same man became known as John the Beloved, the writer of the Gospel of John, the three letters of John, and the book of Revelation.

Jesus chose John not because He saw the potential within him but because the Lord knew how He could change John. All have fallen short of the glory of God and we are in this world without hope. Christ came and saved us from our sins.

Christ has transformed our lives in the same way He saved John. Beloved, the good work that the Lord has started in you shall be completed by Him. Every child of God was in a fallen state before they became a brand new creation in Christ. The Lord has and will continue to transform your life.

In Christ Alone.

Prince of Peace | May 6th

"You were ransomed from the futile ways inherited from your forefathers, not with perishable things such as silver or gold, but with the precious blood of Christ, like that of a lamb without blemish or spot."

1 Peter 1:18-19

Beloved, what is your hope today? Where shall you find peace and hope in every circumstance? It is the Gospel that strengthens the spirit. It is the Gospel that will lift you in every situation.

The eternal God, who is unchanging and faithful, has given you His great and precious promises. The foundation of your hope is God's word. The person of the Gospel, Jesus Christ, has laid down His life for you. He ransomed you from sin. Christ purchased you with His life by shedding His blood.

The sinless Lamb of God made atonement for you and you belong to God. The Lord will not forsake you. He will watch over you and keep you all the days of your life. The Gospel gives you peace today for Christ is the Prince of Peace.

In Christ Alone.

A Marked Man | May 5th

"So the chief priests made plans to put Lazarus to death as well."

John 12:10

What a peculiar thought. The chief priests planned to kill a man who was previously dead but had been risen to life again by Jesus.

They wanted to destroy the testimony of Lazarus, which verified that Jesus was the resurrection and life.

Beloved, let us live with the sober reality that the enemy has a similar notion concerning you. Your life stands as a testimony to the power of Christ. You were once dead in sin, but Christ has brought you into new life. You are a living epistle of God's saving grace and mercy. The spirit of this age has the same animosity towards you as it did against Lazarus.

Be not dismayed or afraid. God has promised never to leave you and will keep you until the race is run. The Lord is with you today.

In Christ Alone.
