I Shall See Him


For I know that my Redeemer lives . . .2

 

Job 19:25



Today's Bible Reading: Job 19:23-27.


In the midst of profound suffering and despair, Job, in the oldest book of the Bible, rises above his circumstances and prophesies a message of unwavering hope and faith. In Job 19:25-26, we witness Job's resolute declaration that even in the face of immense trials, he has an unshakable trust in God and a firm belief in the ultimate redemption to come.


Job declares, "For I know that my Redeemer lives, and He shall stand at last on the earth; and after my skin is destroyed, this I know, that in my flesh I shall see God." These powerful words reveal Job's unyielding confidence in the existence of a Redeemer who will vindicate him and bring forth a glorious outcome.


Job's declaration serves as a reminder to us all that even in our darkest moments, we can have hope in God's faithfulness and His ultimate plan for our lives. Like Job, we may face trials, sufferings, and uncertainties, but we can hold on to the assurance that our Redeemer lives. He is active, present, and working on our behalf, even when we cannot see it.


Notice also Job's belief in a future bodily resurrection. He affirms that even after his physical body is destroyed, he will see God with his own eyes. Job's proclamation anticipates the resurrection power of Jesus Christ, who conquered death and offers us the hope of eternal life in Him.


May Job's proclamation encourage us to trust in God's sovereignty and find strength in His unfailing love.


Prayer: Father God, thank You for the good news of Easter. How wonderful it is, that one day I will see my Saviour face-to-face. Amen.

Hearts On Fire

Did not our heart burn within us

while He talked with us on the road,

and while He opened the Scriptures to us?”


Luke 24:32 


Today's Bible Reading: Luke 24:28-35.


Today's text, comes from the account of two disciples who were walking to Emmaus on the day of resurrection. They were discussing the events that had taken place in Jerusalem when the Lord Jesus appeared to them, but they did not recognize Him. As they walked together, Jesus explained to them the prophecies about Himself in the Old Testament scriptures. When they arrived at Emmaus, Jesus revealed Himself to them and then vanished. It was at this point that the two disciples realized that their hearts had been burning within them while the Lord had been speaking to them on the road.


This is a powerful reminder of the transformative power of the Word of God. The disciples' hearts were set ablaze as Jesus opened up the Scriptures to them, revealing the truth about Himself. It is the same for us today - when we open up our hearts to God's Word and allow it to penetrate our souls, it has the power to change us from the inside out. The Bible is not just a collection of words on a page; it is the living and active Word of God that has the power to transform our lives.


When we read the Bible, we should approach it with an open heart, ready to receive the truth that God wants to reveal to us. Like the disciples on the road to Emmaus, we may not always immediately recognize the presence of Jesus in our lives, but when we open our hearts to His Word, He can reveal Himself to us in powerful ways. Let us ask God to help us approach His Word with open hearts, ready to receive the truth that can set us free and transform our lives.


Prayer: Father, Help me to approach Your Word with an open heart, ready to receive the truth that God wants to reveal to me. In Jesus name. Amen.

The Empty Tomb

(Easter Day)

Do not be alarmed.

You seek Jesus of Nazareth,

who was crucified. He is risen!  


Mark 16:6


Today's Bible Reading: Mark 16:1-6.


The resurrection of Jesus Christ is the central event of our faith. It is the triumph over sin and death, the ultimate demonstration of God's power and love. The empty tomb stands as a powerful testimony to the fulfilment of God's promises and the assurance of eternal life through Christ.  


"He is risen!" These words resound through the ages, echoing the victory of Jesus Christ over the grave. They remind us that our Saviour conquered death and offers us the gift of salvation. In His resurrection, Jesus provides forgiveness, redemption, and new life.


"He is not here." These words signify the fulfilment of the Lord's own prophecy, that He would rise again on the third day. The empty tomb bears witness to the reality of His resurrection. It reveals the futility of seeking the living among the dead, for Jesus is alive, seated at the right hand of God, interceding for us.


This Easter, let celebrate, let us rejoice in the truth of Mark 16:6. Jesus is risen, and His victory brings hope, restoration, and abundant life to all who put their trust in Him. Like the first disciples, let us tell other the Good-News, that Jesus is risen.


Prayer: Father, thank You, on this day of celebration, that Jesus is alive, He is risen from the dead. Help me to share this news with others. In His name I ask. Amen.
