DAY 24: HE IS LOVE

John 3:16 “16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” John 20:11-17 “11 But Mary stood without at the sepulchre weeping: and as she wept, she stooped down, and looked into the sepulcher…she turned herself back, and saw Jesus standing, and knew not that it was Jesus. 15 Jesus saith unto her, Woman, why …

DAY 23: HE SUBMITTED

Matthew 26:39 “39 And he went a little further, and fell on his face, and prayed, saying, O my Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me: nevertheless not as I will, but as thou wilt.” To me, this is one of the most poignant passages in all of scripture. This wonderful, righteous, dutiful Son has a terrible commission to …

DAY 22: HE IS PEACE

John 14:27 “27 Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.” At this time, you might not be feeling a great deal of peace. Maybe you’ve got too many things left to do, and not enough time …

DAY 21: HE FULFILLED HIS PURPOSE

Matthew 4:2-3, 10-11 “2 And when he had fasted forty days and forty nights, he was afterward an hungred. 3 And when the tempter came to him… 10 Then saith Jesus unto him, Get thee hence, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve. 11 Then the devil leaveth him…” Because this section is a bit lengthy, I’ll paraphrase. …

DAY 20: HE HAD COMPASSION

John 11:32-35 “32 Then when Mary was come where Jesus was, and saw him, she fell down at his feet, saying unto him, Lord, if thou hadst been here, my brother had not died. 33 When Jesus therefore saw her weeping, and the Jews also weeping which came with her, he groaned in the spirit, and was …

DAY 19: HE JUDGED RIGHTEOUSLY

Luke 19:5-10 “5 And when Jesus came to the place, he looked up, and saw him, and said unto him, Zacchæus, make haste, and come down; for to day I must abide at thy house. 6 And he made haste, and came down, and received him joyfully. 7 And when they saw it, they all murmured, saying, That he was gone to …

DAY 18: HE BROUGHT HIS MOTHER JOY

Luke 2:52 “52 And Jesus increased in wisdom and stature, and in favour with God and man.” Perhaps this resonates with me because at times, my otherwise wonderful children seem determined to make me cry. Within a two-week period I had a child with three think times and TWO lunch detentions at school; another child recommended for a friendship skills group …

DAY 17: HE UNDERSTOOD LONELINESS

Matthew 26:37-38 “37 And he took with him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, and began to be sorrowful and very heavy. 38 Then saith he unto them, My soul is exceeding sorrowful, even unto death: tarry ye here, and watch with me… 40 And he cometh unto the disciples, and findeth them asleep, and saith unto Peter, What, could ye not watch with me …
