God's Words

 Christ's little band of followers knew that something shocking yet stupendous was in the air, but they did not understand. They were about to face the most traumatic few hours in the history of the universe, when the Son of God and Son of Man willingly spread wide His arms of love to embrace whosoever will with His everlasting forgiveness, and crown all who would believe on His name with His gift of life eternal His own, righteous Life in exchange for our sad, sinful lives.
 The disciples had heard what the Savior said, but their logical, human understanding could not discern what He meant. They had heard that the Son of Man must be lifted up and suffer many things, and yet they knew that this was the Messiah who had come from God to set up His kingdom.
 Like the disciples, we may be broken-hearted, lost, blind, or sorrowing, and we may not understand, but God's Words re as true today as they were over 2000 years ago and remember, it was Jesus that said, 
John 14:2 My Father’s house has many rooms; if that were not so, would I have told you that I am going there to prepare a place for you?

Our United Prayer:
Heavenly Father, thank You that we are Your children and that the Lord Jesus is at this very moment, preparing a place for us in heaven. Hasten the day when we will be with You forever, in Your house. Thank You, in Jesus' name we Pray, AMEN.
