April 8 Devotion


There are many who feel alone during this time of quarantine. Totally understandable.

But to put things into perspective consider our Lord and Savior.

His own mother and brothers tried to put Him away thinking he was crazy.

His closest friends could not even stay awake long enough to pray with Him in the garden.

Once He was arrested, they completely deserted Him.

One denied knowing Him and another denied even knowing Him.

Even His own heavenly Father abandoned Him while He hung dying on a cross.

But all of that was temporary.

When Sunday came everything changed.

The tomb which held Him for three days was now empty.

He underwent all of that for us.

Ephesians 1:7-8 (NASB)
7  In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of His grace
8  which He lavished on us. In all wisdom and insight

Living, He loved us

Dying, He saved us

Buried, He carried our sins away

Rising, He justified freely forever

Oh Glorious day.

Psalm 73:26 (NASB)
26  My flesh and my heart may fail, But God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever.

 

This too will pass.
