Your existence is in the hands of almighty God!

“The reason my Father loves me is that I lay down my life—only to take it up again. No one takes it from me, but I lay it down of my own accord. I have authority to lay it down and authority to take it up again. This command I received from my Father.” John 10:17-18

On the eve of Good Friday, these words of Jesus speak of His authority over death and life. Jesus is loved by His Father because He was obedient and willing to give up His life for you and me.

The Easter story is not about a random series of events orchestrated by men to crucify Jesus. It is the perfect plan of God to bring the offer of salvation to the world.

The crucification and resurrection of Jesus took place under the authority of God and no human being had any power or influence over these events.

Jesus is the author of life. He has the power to give life and to take life. You have no control of your life. It is in the hands of God!

As a believer, you and I are called to follow the role model of Jesus and be willing to die to self and live for God.

The gift of eternal life is the beginning of your journey with God. You live with God here on earth and then in heaven. You enter the world of the abundant life of Jesus and draw upon His resources for your every need.

Life has no limitations for a believer. The challenge is to center your life around God and live a life pleasing to Him.

Thought for the day:

“I am the beginning and the end of all things. My life comes from Heaven and is a fountain of Living Water to supply your every need. Seek Me out with all of your heart! My purposes for you are eternal!
