This Day's Thought

Grace does not exist to make us successful.  God’s grace exists to point people to a love like no other love they have every known.  A love outside the lines.

Michael Yaconelli

May this most special Sunday be joyous and meaningful for you all!

This Day's Thought

Because he lives I can face tomorrow,
Because he lives all fear is gone.
Because I know he holds the future,
And life is worth the living,
Just because he lives.

Gloria Gaither

This Day's Verse

But very early on Sunday morning they took the ointments to the tomb—and found that the huge stone covering the entrance had been rolled aside.  So they went in—but the Lord Jesus’ body was gone.  They stood there puzzled, trying to think what could have happened to it.  Suddenly two men appeared before them, clothed in shining robes so bright their eyes were dazzled.  The women were terrified and bowed low before them.  Then the men asked, “Why are you looking in a tomb for someone who is alive?  He isn’t here!  He has come back to life again!  Don’t you remember what he told you back in Galilee—that the Messiah must be betrayed into the power of evil men and be crucified and that he would rise again the third day?”  Then they remembered and rushed back to Jerusalem to tell his eleven disciples—and everyone else—what had happened.  (The women who went to the tomb were Mary Magdalene and Joanna and Mary the mother of James, and several others.)

Luke 24:1-10
The Living Bible

This Day's Smile

The nails didn’t keep Jesus on the cross—
His love for you did.

This Day's Thought

The Cross does not abolish suffering, but transforms it, sanctifies it, makes it fruitful, bearable, even joyful, and finally victorious.

Joseph Rickaby

This Day's Verse

Now from the sixth hour there was darkness over all the land until the ninth hour.  And about the ninth hour Jesus cried out with a loud voice, saying, “Eli, Eli, lema sabachthani?” that is, “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?”  And some of the bystanders, hearing it, said, “This man is calling Elijah.”  And one of them at once ran and took a sponge, filled it with sour wine, and put it on a reed and gave it to him to drink.  But the others said, “Wait, let us see whether Elijah will come to save him.”  And Jesus cried out again with a loud voice and yielded up his spirit.  And behold, the curtain of the temple was torn in two, from top to bottom.  And the earth shook, and the rocks were split.  The tombs also were opened.  And many bodies of the saints who had fallen asleep were raised, and coming out of the tombs after his resurrection they went into the holy city and appeared to many.  When the centurion and those who were with him, keeping watch over Jesus, saw the earthquake and what took place, they were filled with awe and said, “Truly this was the Son of God!”

Matthew 27:45-54

This Day’s Thought-Wednesday

This Day's Thought

The resurrection of Jesus Christ is a certainty.  If any fact, not merely of Christianity, but of history, stands on an impregnable foundation, this does.

E. P. Goodwin

This Day's Verse

Then they led Jesus from Caiaphas to the Praetorium, and it was early morning.  But they themselves did not go into the Praetorium, lest they should be defiled, but that they might eat the Passover.  Pilate then went out to them and said, “What accusation do you bring against this Man?  They answered and said to him, “If He were not an evildoer, we would not have delivered Him up to you.”  Then Pilate said to them, “You take Him and judge Him according to your law.”  Therefore the Jews said to him, “It is not lawful for us to put anyone to death,” that the saying of Jesus might be fulfilled which He spoke, signifying by what death He would die.  Then Pilate entered the Praetorium again, called Jesus, and said to Him, “Are You the King of the Jews?”  Jesus answered him, “Are you speaking for yourself about this, or did others tell you this concerning Me?”  Pilate answered, “Am I a Jew?  Your own nation and the chief priests have delivered You to me. What have You done?”  Jesus answered, “My kingdom is not of this world.  If My kingdom were of this world, My servants would fight, so that I should not be delivered to the Jews; but now My kingdom is not from here.”  Pilate therefore said to Him, “Are You a king then?”  Jesus answered, “You say rightly that I am a king.  For this cause I was born, and for this cause I have come into the world, that I should bear witness to the truth.  Everyone who is of the truth hears My voice.”  Pilate said to Him, “What is truth?”  And when he had said this, he went out again to the Jews, and said to them, “I find no fault in Him at all.  “But you have a custom that I should release someone to you at the Passover.  Do you therefore want me to release to you the King of the Jews?”  Then they all cried again, saying, “Not this Man, but Barabbas!”  Now Barabbas was a robber.

John 18:28-40
The New King James Version

This Day's Thought

I see his blood upon the rose
And in the stars the glory of his eyes,
His body gleams amid eternal snows,
His tears fall from the skies.

I see his face in every flower;
The thunder and the singing of the birds
Are but his voice—and carven by his power
Rocks are his written words.

All pathways by his feet are worn,
His strong heart stirs the ever-beating sea,
His crown of thorns is twined with every thorn,
His cross is every tree.

Joseph Mary Plunkett

This Day's Verse

When the hour came, Jesus and his apostles reclined at the table.  And he said to them, “I have eagerly desired to eat this Passover with you before I suffer.  For I tell you, I will not eat it again until it finds fulfillment in the kingdom of God.”  After taking the cup, he gave thanks and said, “Take this and divide it among you.  For I tell you I will not drink again from the fruit of the vine until the kingdom of God comes.”  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.”  In the same way, after the supper he took the cup, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in my blood, which is poured out for you.”

Luke 22:14-20
The New International Version
