He Carried Our Griefs

By

Good morning

Scripture reading: Psalms 22:1-18

Hymn: Nailed to The Cross

 


Meditation:

    During his earthly ministry, Jesus underwent human suffering. He was intimately acquainted with physical limitations such as hunger, thirst, and pain. He suffered deep emotional anguish such as betrayal, rejection, hatred, loneliness, and sorrow. He was despised and rejected by men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with much grief. He experienced hunger and thirst during his 40-day fast and on the cross. Jesus was rejected by his hometown, abandoned by his disciples during his arrest, and forsaken while enduring the punishment for our sins. 

    He experienced extreme physical torture including flogging until his skin was separated from the flesh, a crown of thorns pierced his head, and nails were driven through his hands and feet. Jesus bore the emotional pain of spiritual separation from the Father, abandoned by his closest disciples, denied by Peter, and betrayed by Judas. He was laughed at, spat upon, and beaten by soldiers while the crowd jeered. Nazareth rejected him, as they only saw him as the son of a carpenter, and not a prophet. 

    Despite His sacrificial death for our redemption, many today neglect to honor the Messiah as their Lord and Savior. By failing to make Jesus your Lord, you are rejecting the salvation He paid for on the cross.

Let us pray:

    Shepherd of my soul, you were wounded for my transgressions, pierced for my iniquities, the chastisement of my peace was laid upon you and for that I am extremely grateful. Lord, I give you thanks for transferring my guilt to the cross. I praise and glorify you, O God for by your stripes, I am made whole and delivered from all infirmities. I am truly grateful to be liberated from the penalty of my iniquities through your sacrifice. Father, I am living this moment only because of your grace and mercy. I am amazed by the extent of your unmerited love and kindness towards us, O God. Almighty God, when I survey the wondrous cross on which you willingly lay down your life, choosing to endure the agony of a merciless crucifixion, love so amazing, so divine, I must confess that none can compare to your matchless love. You are God all by yourself and I am truly grateful for the day you changed me from a tare to a wheat with divine purpose through Jesus Christ our Savior. Amen. (Child of the King).

 

Wishing you uncommon favor. 💪👏🙏

Good morning Scripture reading: Matthew 20:29-34 Worship song: He's Only A Prayer Away   Meditation:      The blind men sitting by the wayside likely spent many years enduring their affliction, waiting to be delivered, waiting for the opportunity to be made whole. They must have grown weary and tired of being in the same place and in the same situation. Nonetheless, they waited patiently, anticipating a breakthrough, believing that their change would come. When they heard Jesus passing by, they knew this was their moment of deliverance, and so they shouted with a loud voice, asking Jesus to have mercy on them. The crowd told them to be quiet, but they shouted all the louder, showing that faith persists through opposition.       Continue to praise God loudly, for your victory is secured by Jesus. No one has the power to keep you in bondage unless you give them authority. Praise is your most powerful weapon when you are low in the spirit, ...

Age Is Not A Limitation

Good morning Scripture reading: 2 Chronicles 24 & 34 Worship song: Reign Jesus Reign   Meditation:      Both Joash (7) and Josiah (8) were crowned king of Judah respectively making them the youngest reigning kings. Crowned at age 7, Joash ruled for 40 years, under the guidance of the High Priest Jehoiada. He repaired the Temple of the LORD and restored proper worship. Josiah was crowned at the age of 8 and did what was right in the sight of God. He began seeking the God of his ancestor David at the age of 16 and began purging Judah of idolatry at the age of 20, proving that it is never too early to follow God.       Josiah’s ascension to the throne at just eight years old and Joash's at age seven prove that God can use anyone, regardless of age, to fulfill His purpose. We sometimes hinder our children from serving because we are fearful they might fail. We must overcome our fear of their failure and support their desire to serve by enc...

He Bears Our Iniquities

Good morning   Scripture reading: Isaiah 53 Praise song: Nailed To The Cross   Meditation:      Isaiah's prophetic declarations about Jesus Christ in Isaiah 50:6 and Isaiah 53, written centuries before the Messiah's birth, were fulfilled in the life and death of Jesus as recorded in the Gospels. Out of immense love, Jesus, though perfect and without sin, laid down his life and took upon Himself the burden of our transgressions so we could be set free. The magnitude of his penalty revealed his willingness to sacrifice himself, as He endured the extreme pain of physical suffering.       Through the use of graphic and detailed imagery, the movie 'The Passion of the Christ' portrays the immense suffering and agony Jesus endured as the ultimate sacrifice for our salvation. He was rejected and abandoned, mocked, laughed to scorn, spit upon, pierced for our transgressions, and bruised for our iniquities. He voluntarily gave his back to the s...

Empowered By The Holy Spirit

Good morning Scripture reading: Acts 2:1-4 Hymn: The Comforter Has Come   Meditation:      Before ascending, Jesus assured His disciples He would not abandon them, promising to send the Holy Spirit, the Comforter. He instructed them to remain in Jerusalem until they were equipped with divine power from heaven to fulfill their mission to preach the gospel. This instruction and their obedience led to the events of Pentecost in Acts 2, where they were filled with the Holy Spirit while they were in the temple, praising and worshipping God. Jesus promised that for those who love and obey Him, the Father would send the Holy Spirit to dwell within them forever, acting as a counselor who teaches truth and brings Christ's words to remembrance.       The Holy Spirit, referred to as the Spirit of truth, abides within believers as a counselor, teacher, and helper, providing wisdom and guidance in all truth, distinguishing between truth and fals...
