The Resurrection Promise

If Christ is not risen, then our preaching

is empty and your faith is also empty.  

1 Corinthians 15:14

Today's Bible Reading: Zechariah 12:10.

The prophet Zechariah (Zechariah 12:10) spoke of a future event when God's people will experience a remarkable outpouring of the Spirit of grace and supplication. In this prophetic passage, we catch a glimpse of the resurrection power that brings about repentance, renewal, and restoration.

First: Pouring of the Spirit: God promises to pour out His Spirit upon the house of David and the inhabitants of Jerusalem. The Holy Spirit is the source of divine empowerment, bringing about transformation, conviction, and revelation. Through the Holy Spirit, we are enabled to experience the reality of Christ's resurrection in our lives.

Second: Looking on the Pierced One: The verse continues, stating that God's people will "look on Me whom they pierced." This prophetic statement points directly to Jesus Christ, the Saviour who was pierced for our transgressions. It foreshadows the crucifixion of Christ, highlighting the profound truth that through His sacrifice, we find forgiveness and salvation.

Third: Mourning and Grief: As a result of seeing the pierced Saviour, a deep mourning and grief will fill the hearts of God's people. This mourning is not merely a sorrow over Christ's suffering but a recognition of our own sins that necessitated His sacrifice. It is a heartfelt repentance that leads to a restored relationship with God.

Fourth: Resurrection Hope:ourth: Resurrection Hope:

Although this verse primarily focuses on Christ's suffering and our response of repentance, it also hints at the hope of resurrection. The piercing of Jesus was not the end but the beginning of God's redemptive plan. It points to the ultimate victory over sin and death through Christ's resurrection.

Rejoice in the victory of Christ's resurrection. Hold fast to the hope that through His triumph, you have eternal life. Let this hope sustain you in times of trial and inspire you to share the Good-News of salvation with others. .

Prayer: Prayer: Heavenly Father, pour out Your Spirit upon us. Help us focus on the cross, repent, and embrace the hope of resurrection. In Jesus name, amen.

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.
