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!

He Answers Prayer: Daily Devotional

  “In my distress I called upon the Lord, and cried unto my God: he heard my voice out of his temple, and my cry came before him, even into his ears.” Psalm 18:6 (KJV) The God we serve is a God who answers prayers. He knows our needs before we even ask Him for help. He instituted prayer after the downfall of mankind to give us the opportunity to fellowship with Him. No wonder our Lord Jesus Christ said that at all times we ought to pray and not give up or lose heart (Luke 18:1).  The psalmist cried out to God in his distress, and God heard him and attended to his needs. Dear beloved, don’t wait till you get into trouble before you pray. Pray every day at least three times a day (Psalm 55:17). Prayer is fellowship with your heavenly Father; it is not always about asking God to meet your needs. Pray for your community and your nation so that the will of God will be established. Pray in faith based on the Word of God, and God will attend to you. Hallelujah! God bless you! ©️...

Is there scientific proof of God's existence? - Bible Teachings

  The concept of scientific proof for God's existence is a complex and debated topic, as science deals with the empirical study of the natural world, while God is often considered a supernatural being. However, the Bible does contain teachings and verses that address the relationship between faith, reason, and the search for understanding God's existence. Let's explore these teachings and Bible verses: 1. God's Invisible Qualities and Creation: The Bible acknowledges that certain aspects of God, such as His eternal power and divine nature, are revealed through the observation of the natural world. Romans 1:20: "For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that people are without excuse." This verse suggests that God's existence can be recognized through the intricate design and order of creation, although it may not provide scientific p...

The Name Of Christ Cannot fail: Daily Devotional

  And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved. - Acts 2:21                                  Jesus Christ lived a wonderful life on earth. He never failed in his earthly ministry. He died, rose again, and ascended into heaven. Before his ascension, he left a legacy in his name that we can use to achieve his goals. His name has the the the same authority he used when he walked on this earth. If an unregenerate person calls on his name with a repentant heart, he is saved and has eternal life. When    one who has been born again calls on his name, his name works on him, Mark 16:17-18. The name of Christ cannot be mistaken. It has the power to save and work miracles. But this will not work for those who use it in vain or take his name for granted. This is the name of God. Therefore, he should be respected, respected, and worshiped. As believers i...
