You’ll live . . . .

You’ll live .  .  .  .

Jn. 14:19

BECAUSE I LIVE,

YOU WILL LIVE ALSO.


[Jesus went to the bottom of all that can kill us both literally and spiritually by going to the Cross.  It killed Him - but not for long.  He lived again, rising from the dead in wonderful, amazing victory . . . . so that our LIFE, both now and in eternity, is from Christ and is maintained by Him. Because it is Christ that lives in us, therefore our LIFE can never be lost; it is bound up in the bundle of LIFE with Christ, and is hid safe and secure with Him in God - out of the reach both of men and devils]

Pray the Word:
Lord, when we are in the middle of problems, disease, tragedy, fear – we tend to ask You ‘WHY?’ -  and usually we’re actually protesting that we don’t deserve the treatment we think we are receiving. Your only answer to our question ‘WHY?’ is the death and resurrection of Jesus that bought us the guarantee that nothing or no one can take LIFE (days, years, time, energy, vitality) from us.  And, that’s our answer, too. We’re determined to hold onto Your Word, receive Christ’s body and blood, remember His death and resurrection, and hear His promise ‘YOU WILL LIVE ALSO’ – and start asking the question ‘WHAT is it Your doing in my LIFE?’ instead of ‘WHY are You doing this to my LIFE?’.

Thank you for reading my blog of thoughts, encouragement and instructions the Lord speaks about to me. It is simply my therapy to write down these things as I walk my journey out with Him. I would love to hear back from you. Each new day is a blessing! Dorothy
