HAPPY EASTER 2026 Paul longed to know Christ and the power of His Resurrection, but his heart was also to share in Christ's suffering, for he desired intimate association with the Lord Who bought him, in the everyday circumstances of his life. As a result of our new birth, we are united in Him by faith, and all who are truly united together with Christ have been baptized into His Body. All who are positioned in Christ, died to sin when Jesus died on the Cross. But as a member of His Body, we are not only grafted into His death but also joined together with Him in His resurrected life. We are united in life with our resurrected Lord. His death became our death, but His resurrected life became our new, resurrected life, a life which is everlasting. Like Paul, we need to acknowledge who we are in Christ and we should desire that close intimacy with Him in the everyday circumstances of life. We need to acknowledge Him in the morning time and we need to draw close to Him in the evening hours. Jesus is the One who removes the obstacles on the roadside and He is the One Who bring you to your appointed goal, for the all-seeing God is the One Who has promised in all things to: "Direct your paths and to lead You in the way of righteousness." Romans 6:5 Since we have been united with him in his death, we will also be raised to life as he was. Our United Prayer:
Loving Father, thank You that we are united with Christ in the likeness of His death and that His resurrected life has become our lives, through time and into eternity. Thank You for directing our lives every step of the way, as we follow you. Guide us today and direct our hearts and minds into the love of Christ. Draw us into a closer intimacy with Yourself. In the name of Jesus we Pray, AMEN.

For all of us who have trusted Christ as Savior, these poignant words can pierce our own hearts as we begin to understand that the sinless Son of God was willingly afflicted, bruised, pierced, and crushed with wounds that we merit. By His death, The Lord Jesus Paid The Enormous Price For Our Sins and broke the power of sin and death in our life forever, returning us into fellowship with the Father. We are accepted by God, because of Him. The chastisement of all our peace was laid upon Him that day on Calvary's Cross. Isaiah 53:5 But he was pierced for our rebellion, crushed for our sins. He was beaten so we could be whole. He was whipped so we could be healed. Our United Prayer:
Heavenly Father, thank You that the Lord Jesus Christ was wounded for our transgressions and bore our sins in His body on the tree. Thank You that our guilt has been exchanged for peace with God and the peace of God now rests in our hearts. Thank You that we have been forever released from the bondage of sin and death, and that by His stripes we have been healed, clothed in His righteousness, and made children of God. Thank You that Christ Jesus is our Savior and the sinless Substitute for our sins . In Jesus name we all Pray, Amen. The one and only Savior of the world hung on a cruel wooden cross, with His arms of forgiveness wide open to all who would trust His name. The armies of heaven were at His disposal, but He could never respond to the jeering crowd that taunted, "If you are the Son of God, come down from the cross and save Yourself," for to do so would have shut the door to paradise for everyone and slammed closed the gates of heaven forever, with no hope for mankind in the world. Jesus's gracious prayer of forgiveness prompted one criminal on the cross behind him his request when, with a repentant heart he cried, "This man has done nothing wrong," and then turning towards the Lord he pleaded, "Jesus, remember me when you come into Your kingdom." I doubt that the thieving criminal expected to hear Christ's merciful reply, "Today you will be with Me in paradise," nor would he have anticipated the wonderful joy into which he would shortly enter. But immediately, his simple faith was rewarded with a promise of paradise in the company of the Redeemer Himself. Though salvation is conditional on the repentant sinner turning to Christ, this beautiful passage gives assurance that It Is Never Too Late To Look To The Lord Jesus And LIVE. It demonstrates that salvation is by grace through faith in Christ, and is not dependent on any liturgical sacraments, baptismal rituals, good works, man-made doctrines, or legalistic requirements. It is faith in the Person, the Work, and the Word of the Savior that secures for us the forgiveness of sins and life everlasting. Luke 23:43 Jesus answered him, “Truly I tell you, today you will be with me in paradise.” Our United Prayer:
Thank You, Father, for the beautiful gift of salvation that is given to all that trust in the name of the Lord. We thank You that the way into the paradise of God has been reopened through the shed blood of the Lord Jesus Christ, and our sins, past, present, and future, have all been forgiven simply because we trust in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. In His name we Pray, AMEN. The Lamb Who was to be slain from the foundation of the world, meekly stood before His disciples on this unique Passover of all Passovers, to proclaim: "This is My body, which is given for you. Do this in remembrance of Me." The staggering consequences of this poignant event was veiled from the eyes of the bewildered disciples, yet the eternal significance of this amazing, sacrificial action will reverberate down through the corridors of time, and throughout the eternal ages that are to come. The Lord Jesus was The Bread Of Life, the hidden manna that had been sent from heaven. He was to give His own life as a ransom for many. And as He broke the unleavened bread which represented His sinless body, and offered the cup which spoke of His lifeblood being poured out for every member of sinful humanity, it pictured His own precious body being broken on the Cross and His very lifeblood being poured out before God the Father as the only offering for sin, to pay the price for your sins and for mine. Luke 22:19 And he took bread, gave thanks and broke it, and gave it to them, saying, “This is my body given for you; do this in remembrance of me.”Prayer Wall Our United Prayer:
Loving Father, it is staggering to try to realize that God Himself took on mortal flesh so that He could come and pay the price for our sins, so that we could be forgiven. It is indeed a thing of eternal wonderment that God should clothe Himself in human flesh to become the only possible sacrifice for sin. It is a thing of everlasting thanksgiving that Christ broke His body and spilt His life-blood so that by believing in His name, we might have everlasting life. For this, we praise Your name forever and ever, AMEN. When Paul was converted to the Christian faith, he suddenly discovered the shocking consequences of his own unbelief because he recognized that his religious legalism had kept him estranged from God and excluded him from fellowship with the One he claimed to follow. Once he discovered that Jesus of Nazareth was his God and Savior, Paul's desire was to tell others of our great salvation. He wanted them to share in the hope we have in Christ and experience the great freedoms we enjoy by faith in Him. Paul's bold declaration on preaching the gospel follows a long passage that speaks of the great privileges that are ours in Christ, and details The Responsibility We All Have Towards God And Our Fellow Believers. As Paul reminds us, there are many responsibilities that accompany our great salvation. Like the apostle Paul, we have received our salvation by faith in Christ, and like him we have nothing to boast about. Our salvation does not depend on what we do but on what Christ has already done on our account. Like Paul, with the privileges that accompany salvation, there are certain responsibilities we have towards both God and fellow believers. May we, like Paul, rejoice in the privileges that are ours by faith and consider the accompanying responsibilities as blessings to share rather than a burden to carry. 1 Corinthians 9:16 Yet when I preach the gospel, I have no reason to boast, because I am obligated to preach. Woe to me if I do not preach the gospel! Our United Prayer:
Heavenly Father, thank You for sending the Lord Jesus to be the sacrifice for sin, and for the many privileges that accompany our great salvation. Thank You that salvation is free to all and comes without cost. We pray that we would feel constrained to carry out the good work that You have prepared for us to do and tell others the good news that Christ died for their sins and rose again so that by faith in Him, they too might have forgiveness of sin and life everlasting This we ask and Pray in Jesus' name, AMEN. |
