Through Grace of the Lord Jesus
“But we believe that we are saved through the grace of the Lord Jesus, in the same way as they also are.” Acts 15:11 Do you believe that Jesus died to save us form our sin against God? Do you believe that salvation is for all or just for the Jews? Believe means to accept something as true, to feel sure of the truth of; to have faith. In the biblical sense, believing is to think it to be true, to be persuaded of , to credit, to place confidence in as used in the New Testament of the conviction and trust to which a man is impelled by a…

Under Grace
For sin shall not be master over you, for you are not under law but under grace. What then? Shall we sin because we are not under law but under grace? May it never be! Do you not know that when you present yourselves to someone as slaves for obedience, you are slaves of the one whom you obey, either of sin resulting in death, or of obedience resulting in righteousness? Romans 6:14 -16 God’s promises are more powerful and effectual for mortifying sin, than our promises to God. Sin may be a challenge in a believer, and create a great deal of hardship, but it will not have dominion…

Grace Abounded
The Law came in so that the transgression would increase; but where sin increased, grace abounded all the more, so that, as sin reigned in death, even so grace would reign through righteousness to eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. Romans 5:20-21 God reveals himself in the Old Testament as a God of grace and mercy who shows love to His people, not because they deserve it, but because of His own desire to have a personal relationship with His people. He is faithful to the promises He made to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Justice is described as getting the punishment we deserve. Mercy is described as God sparing us…

Chosen By Grace
In the same way then, there has also come to be at the present time a remnant according to God’s gracious choice. But if it is by grace, it is no longer on the basis of works, otherwise grace is no longer grace. Romans 11:5-6 God’s gracious plan to send his Son into the world to save all who accept His message of salvation by faith and live their lives for him. This salvation has many gifts that comes with it. It gives us forgiveness of our sins. We have a restored relationship with God. We also have eternal life. Things gifts cannot be earned by good works. If salvation…

Grace and Truth
And the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us, and we saw His glory, glory as of the only begotten from the Father, full of grace and truth. John *testified about Him and cried out, saying, “This was He of whom I said, ‘He who comes after me has a higher rank than I, for He existed before me.’ For of His fullness we have all received, and grace upon grace. For the Law was given through Moses; grace and truth were realized through Jesus Christ. John 1:14 – 18 Grace! A wonderful thing for God to give to us. He keeps giving grace to us over and over. It…

Reflection Day
This is the day where we can slow down and sit at Jesus feet. Go get your journal, bible, pens, music, and go to your favorite spot in life. Sit down and pray to our Heavenly Father. Take this time just to sit in his presence and get refueled, rejuvenated, refilled. You can have a Selah time. Listen for his voice and see what he wants to talk to you about. God desires to have this time with you. Take some time to mediate on the passion week and the resurrection days. Remember God Loves you. Dear Heavenly Father, Thank you for this glorious day you have made. Thank…

More Appearances
Luke 24:36-43; John 20: 19-25; Mark 16:14; John 20: 26-31; Acts 15:5; John 21: 1-23; Matthew 28: 16-20; Mark 16: 15-18; 1 Corinthians 15: 6 -7; Luke 24: 44- 51; Acts 1:3-9; Acts 9:1-19, 22:3-16, 26: 9-18; 1 Corinthians 9:1;15:8 (please read all, so much details) Jesus appeared to a lot of people. These passages speak about all the people he appeared too. I know when I share things with my friends, I want them to believe me without having to prove myself trustworthy my experience. Yet, we as humans sometimes have a hard time believing things when we don’t see it with our own eyes. Amazing how things really don’t…

Jesus Appeared To Others
Mark 16: 12-13; Luke 24:13-32, Luke 24:34; 1 Cor. 15:5 Jesus appearing to the disciples and followers must have been important for him to do before he ascended into Heaven. First it was the women, then in Mark 16:12-13, he appeared to two disciples, they shared this with the others and yet, they didn’t believe them. In Luke 24:13-32, it goes a little deeper. Here these two men are traveling and talking about the past events that had just happened. They were sad that Jesus was gone (to their knowledge). While they were walking, Jesus interpreted the scripture to these two. In the village, he finally revealed to them who…

Resurrection Sunday: Jesus appears to Mary Magdalene and The Other Women
Mark 16: 9-11; John 20:11-18; Matthew 28:9-10 Now when he rose early on the first day of the week, he appeared to the first Mary Magdalene from when he had cast out 7 demons. She went and told those who had been with him, as they mourn and wept. But when they heard that he was alive and had been seen by her, they would not believe it. Mary Magdalene was a woman who had seven demons and Jesus heal her of this. Joanna and Susanna and many others of these women faithfully contributed to his ministry. Their support likely came from finances and meeting their practical needs.…
