WHAT THE SAVIOR ENDURED : Daily Devotional

WHAT THE SAVIOR ENDURED : Daily Devotional

 His visage was marred more than any man, and His form more than the sons of men. - Isaiah 52:14


Our Lord Jesus chose  bread and wine as  elements of the Lord's Supper. Because they are a visual reminder of what happened to him when he was crucified. Both grains and grapes have to go through a grinding process to get bread or wine.


Just eating grapes doesn't make wine. The grapes must be crushed first  and then thoroughly crushed. Then they are  left in the dark for fermentation. This is what happened to our Lord Jesus.


It is important for our health to discern the  body of the Lord. Take time each time you partake of his bruised body while eating bread. Receive a revelation of what He has done for you and meditate on the process the bread had to go through.


In Jesus' day, in order to obtain bread, the wheat stalks  had to be beaten first (Judges 6:11 NASB) or threshed with a sledgehammer (Isaiah 41:15). It was a violent process in which wheat was beaten, crushed and cut to separate the grain from the stalks. Then the grain had to be milled into a powder or mortared. Then it was necessary to pour water, knead the flour, put it in the dough, and roast it on the fire.


All this is a description of what happened to our Lord Jesus. To be the bread of life for you and me, He was severely beaten again and  again at the judgment and crucifixion. When he was judged by the high priest and the Sanhedrin, they mocked him, spit on him, and beat him. They blindfolded him and slapped him in the face (Luke 22:63-64; Mark 14:65). Then he was  sent to Pontius Pilate, who beat him badly with Roman soldiers (Mt. 27:26). He clothed her wounded body with a red robe, woven a crown of thorns, and placed it on her head. They worshiped and mocked with a staff in his right hand. They spit on him, raised their staff, and hit him on the head over and over again. With each blow a thorn lodged deeper and deeper into his flesh. “When we finally got tired of making fun of him” they led him to be crucified (Matt. 27:27-31 NLT).


All this was before His body was crucified. We can never fully imagine or comprehend the terrible torture, humiliating humiliation, and excruciating pain that the Savior endured for us. You and I suffered so that we would not fall ill. We are healed from the scourging He suffered! Hallelujah!

The Goodness of God - Daily Devotional

  Verse: Psalm 100:5 (NIV) - "For the Lord is good and his love endures forever; his faithfulness continues through all generations." Devotional: Today, let us reflect on the profound truth that God is good. His goodness is not contingent on our circumstances, but it remains constant, unwavering, and eternal. In Psalm 100:5, we are reminded that the Lord's goodness is inseparable from His enduring love, and His faithfulness transcends generations. As you begin your day, consider the goodness of God in the light of your own life. Think about the moments when His goodness has been evident, whether through answered prayers, unexpected blessings, or moments of divine guidance. God's goodness surrounds us, and even in challenges, there is a purpose that unfolds through His love. In times of joy, acknowledge the goodness of God with gratitude. In times of trial, trust in His goodness, knowing that He works all things for the good of those who love Him (Romans 8:28). Take a ...

HIS NAME HAS POWER IN
ALL THREE WORLDS: Daily Devotional

  Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is  above every name: That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things  in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth - (Philippians 2:9-10). If Jesus really did give us the legal right, that is, authority, to use His name, what results should we expect from using His name? What is so important about the name of Jesus? What does His name represent and why should we have so much faith in Jesus' name? We have the answer in our first scripture. Notice the construction; is absolute. It says, "At the name of Jesus every knee shall bow"; that is a sovereign decision, a law in the realm of the spirit. Hallelujah! This sovereign decree applies in heaven, on earth and under the earth (in hell). His name has power in the three worlds; this power is applied to "things," that is, everything that exists in the three worlds; be it thrones, governments, galaxies, principalities, pow...

The Lord will provide: Daily Devotional

    "And my God will meet all your needs according to the riches of his glory in Christ Jesus." - Philippians 4:19 As Christians, we can find comfort in the knowledge that the Lord will provide for us. Our God is a God of abundance, and He has promised to meet all our needs according to His riches in glory. This promise is not just for our physical needs, but also for our emotional, spiritual, and mental needs. In times of hardship or uncertainty, it can be easy to worry about how we will make ends meet. We may struggle with anxiety, fear, and doubt about the future. But as we meditate on this promise from God, we can find peace in knowing that He is faithful to provide for us. We can trust in His unfailing love and care for His children. God’s provision may not always come in the way we expect or desire, but we can be confident that it will always be what is best for us. Sometimes, God may use difficult circumstances to refine our character, deepen our faith, and draw us clo...
