Righteous Judge

Why Jesus – Day 15 Today’s Devotional God is a Righteous Judge. Why do we need Jesus Christ? Why do we need God in the flesh to come to this earth and die for our sins? All of us sin and fall short of the glory of God. By justice alone, we do not deserve to […]

Forsaken for Our Sake

Why Jesus – Day 14 Today’s Devotional When Jesus was at the Garden of Gethsemane, He asked God to take this cup from Him. But then He said whatever your will is, I will do it. He was about to take the world’s sin and yes, it would be painful. Jesus took sin and was separated […]

Our High Priest

Why Jesus – Day 13 Today’s Devotional A lot of times people think that being tempted is sin, but it’s not. Even Jesus was tempted. We have an enemy who is constantly trying to bring us down and attack us. And he will tempt us with an array of things. But you don’t have to be. […]

God’s Vantage Point

Why Jesus – Day 11 Today’s Devotional If we are so busy that we don’t sit and reflect on the spirit in us, we’re going to go through life and never really understand where we’re going and what’s around us. Are we making an impact? Are we being obedient to what the Holy Spirit is saying? […]

Faithful and True

Why Jesus – Day 10 Today’s Devotional The Rider on the White Horse in Revelation 19:11 is Jesus Christ. He is Faithful and True.

Suffering Transformed into His Glory

Why Jesus – Day 9 Today’s Devotional Glory comes after suffering. Jesus’ death on the cross and resurrection from the grave to the right hand side of God is the prime example of how God can transform suffering into His glory. “For what credit is it if, when you sin and are beaten for it, you […]
