Jesus Appeared

The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; but I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full. John 10:10 (NIV)

Bible Reading: John 10:7-10

After the fall of Adam in the Garden of Eden, God revealed His plan to reconcile Man to Him. At the appointed time, He sent His only begotten son, Jesus Christ to the earth. Consequently, Christ Jesus appeared to rescue us from the power of darkness. We were restored from our fallen state, which was against God’s plan into a new position in Christ Jesus. We became joint heirs with Christ in the kingdom of light (Colossians 1:13); through the power of the Cross, Jesus destroyed the work of Satan (I John 3:8).

Furthermore, in place of death, Christ gave us eternal life so that whosoever believe in Him, will not perish but have everlasting life (John 3:16). Instead of death, we now have life because Jesus is the Way, the Truth, and the Life. (1 John 5:11; John 10:10). It is important that we stand in the truth of our position in Christ Jesus. Our new life in Him should reflect in our daily living. We should love others,exercise our authority in Christ, and live for Him.

Accepting Christ Jesus and abiding in Him gives us legal claims to these rights in Christ Jesus. Dear friends, I encourage you to confess Jesus Christ with your mouth,believe Him with your heart, forsake your old ways, and turn to Him totally. And if you are in Him already, arise for the salvation of others by sharing the gospel in word and in deed. God bless you.

Self-Reflection: How is the new life in Christ seen in your life?

Action Point: Accept Jesus today! Share God’s word to at least one person today.

Daily Confession: Lord Jesus, thank You for dying for my sins. I accept You as my Lord and Saviour and I abide in You. For those that are yet to know you, bring Your word to them and let their hearts be receptive to Your word in Jesus’ name. Amen!

Intercessory prayer: We pray for the peace in Ukraine, Russia, and other regions experiencing war and crisis.

Hymn: There is a fountain filled with blood

​Drawn from Immanuel’s veins,

​And sinners plunged beneath that flood

​Loose all their guilty stains.
