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 ...

Being content with what you have - Daily Devotional

  Bible Verse: "I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances. I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want. I can do all this through him who gives me strength." - Philippians 4:11-13 As Christians, we are called to live a life of contentment. Contentment is a state of being satisfied with what we have, and not constantly desiring more or better. It is not about settling for less, but rather being grateful for what we have been blessed with, while also working towards our goals. The Apostle Paul, in his letter to the Philippians, shares with us the secret of being content in any and every situation. He had experienced both times of abundance and times of great need, yet he remained content. How was he able to do this? By relying on the strength that God provides. As we go through life, we will encounter man...

WE OUGHT ALWAYS TO PRAY: Daily Devotional

  And he spake a parable unto them to this  end, that men ought always to pray, and not  to faint (Luke 18:1) Someone once said, “I have a lot to do in a very short amount of time; leaves me very little time to pray. So I only pray for five minutes in the morning because I always have a busy day.” This is a big mistake. Never skip or reduce your time of fellowship with the Lord for other things, that you might consider "important". The wisdom, guidance, and strength you need to succeed comes from the Lord. Always remember. When you are so busy, you need to pray. In fact, at these times you need to pray more because you need spiritual help to get results in less time and in the best way. Rather than feeling too busy to pray, a wise person will say, "I have so much to do that I need to spend more time in prayer." You will receive an energy and inspiration boost that will give you speed. Jesus said that people should always pray and not faint (Luke 18:1), letting us ...
