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 SPIRIT OF WISDOM: Daily Devotional

  That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give to you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him, the eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that you may know what is the hope of His calling, what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints, and what is the exceeding greatness of His power toward us who believe, according to the working of His mighty power. - Ephesians 1:17–19 INSPIRATION   If God tells us that wisdom is of utmost importance, it is our duty to know and act on the "spirit of wisdom." But do you know what a "spirit of wisdom" is? See the prayer (above) that the Apostle Paul prayed for the church at Ephesus. The spirit of wisdom and revelation resides in the knowledge of Jesus! The more you know Jesus and the more His undeserved grace becomes apparent in your life, the more you will have the spirit of wisdom. . We encourage you to pray this prayer regularly for wisdom. Because as you grow...

Partakers of the divine nature: Daily Devotional

Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust. -   2 Peter 1:4  Of course, participating in divine nature does not mean becoming a god. You can't. The essence of God is not that the creation participates in him. There must always be, in essence, an impassable abyss between the creature and the Creator. However, just as the first man, Adam, was created in the image of God, so we too, being renewed by the Holy Spirit, are created in a more divine sense in the image of the Highest, so that we participate in the divine nature. We are made like God by grace. "God is love"; we become love “The one who loves is the one who is born of God.” God is truth. We love what is true and true. God is good, and by his grace he has made us good    so that we can see God with a pure heart. Moreover, we become partakers of the divine nature in...

WHO IS THE HOLY SPIRIT?: Daily Devotional

  And I will ask the Father, and He will give you another Comforter (Counselor, Helper, Intercessor, Advocate, Strengthener, and  Standby), that He may remain with you forever (John 14:16 AMPC). The Holy Spirit is not smoke or a cloud, nor is He a light. He's not a thing! The Holy Spirit is the third person of the Godhead. This is because He is the last of the Trinity known to us! In Genesis 1:1, God was introduced to us as “Elohim” (Hebrew). "Elohim" is the Hebrew plural for God. We are told in the second verse that "the Spirit of God hovered upon the face of the deep." Although the Holy Spirit is the first to be revealed from "Elohim", he is the last known to us because of what Jesus said to his disciples in John 14:16-17: "And I will pray the Father, and he will give you another comforter who will be with you forever; Even the spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive because it does not see him and does not know him, but you do know him; ...
