Why is Good Friday “good”?
…He said, “It is finished,” and he bowed his head and gave up his spirit.

JOHN 19:30

The disciples watched as Jesus cried out, “it is finished.” But what was finished wasn’t Jesus’ life—it was everything separating us from God’s love.

“God with us” became “God for us” by giving up His life to rescue us.

Jesus suffered so that our suffering world could know God personally … that’s what makes Good Friday “good.”

Concentrate on Eternity

“His disciples remembered that it was written, ‘Zeal for your house will devour me.’” —John 2:17

All of our time, talent, and treasure are temporary as far as this world is concerned; however, what we do with them while we are here will have eternal ramifications. Do we even care? The word “zeal” used by John indicates enthusiasm and passion. How much passion do you have for the things of God?

Jesus Christ was consumed with doing his Father’s will while he was in this world. He knew his time here on earth was short. He ensured that all the work that had been given to him was finished by the time he returned to heaven.

So, again, what are you doing with your time, talent, and treasure? Are you wasting them on the temporal, disregarding the eternal reality we all are facing, or are you fixing your eyes on the eternal aspects of life? Are you concentrating on the things that God wants you to do? We have the option of laboring for those things that are perishing, or we can labor for those things that reap eternal benefits, both for us and for others.

So many things that I was zealous for in the past, that I thought were so important, have evaporated. They are no longer a part of my life. My thoughts now lie with: What will last forever? Am I building on the foundation of Jesus Christ, or am I striving to construct something on the foundation of self?

It is never too late to change course! There is always a new opportunity to become zealous for the things that are of importance to God.


Food for thought:
If someone were to look at your life, what would be the word or phrase that would fill in the blank of this statement: “Zeal for ______ consumed him.” Is the word or phrase in the blank temporal or eternal? How can you increase your zeal for the things of God?

Submit Your Thought Life to the Spirit

“For the outlook of the flesh is death, but the outlook of the Spirit is life and peace.” —Romans 8:6

The battle for control of our lives is won or lost in our head. Whoever controls our mind ultimately controls us and our behavior. The Apostle John tells us that the whole world is under the sway of the evil one. Therefore, it is all important that we make sure the Holy Spirit is in control of our thinking and attitudes.

Think for a moment of your mind as a compass needle. It can point in four main directions: CHRIST being north, WORLD being west, SELF being south, and MAN being east. We always want our needle pointing north! We must make a decision to keep moving in that direction. It will require discipline to focus on the “things above” and to keep our lives hidden in Christ. If we allow our compass to point to the WORLD, SELF, or MAN, we will get lost and fail to carry out the work that God has for us.

We are told that the mind controlled by the Spirit is life and peace. Paul said that he brought every thought into captive obedience to Christ. Peter told us to pay attention to the Word of God, letting it be a light in a dark world. He also told us to be sober minded and to set our hope fully on the grace that is to be revealed to us by Jesus Christ.


Food for thought:
By faith, have you asked the Holy Spirit to take control of your mind? Are you experiencing his life and peace? In what ways is your thought life helping you fulfill your God-given potential?

Embrace Your Citizenship

“For here we have no lasting city, but we seek the city that is to come.” —Hebrews 13:14

“But our citizenship is in heaven—and we also eagerly await a savior from there, the Lord Jesus Christ.” —Philippians 3:20

If you feel unsettled at times and wonder just where you fit into this world, this may be God’s way of telling you not to become too comfortable down here. This unsettledness comes because we know that this world, in its present form, is passing away! We also know that the man who does the will of God will live forever. The brevity of this life sends us a message–don’t fall in love with this world because we are just passing through.

I love the fact that our citizenship is in heaven! Our hearts should be set on pilgrimage. We are strangers in an alien world. We do not have an enduring city. The more we see of this dysfunctional world, the more we need to seek the world to come. Our citizenship may be in heaven, but in the meantime, we are ambassadors for Christ by reaching out to a lost and dying world.

In his Word, God has revealed to us what is happening in this world. The whole earth is under the sway of the evil one, and the prince of the power of the air is at work in the sons of disobedience worldwide. The Bible also tells us that our weapons of warfare are not carnal, but mighty in God to tear down strongholds that exalt themselves. Our warfare is against principalities, against powers, rulers of darkness of this present age, and rulers of wickedness in the heavenly spheres. We are engaged in warfare!

In the meantime, we are eagerly waiting for the return of the Lord Jesus Christ. He is coming again, and according to the Bible it is going to happen soon!

Food for thought;
Are you looking forward to Jesus’ return? What kingdom business are you presently pursuing that indicates your realization that you are a citizen of heaven?

WE ARE THE SHEEP.
Mat 10:16
Psa 100:3 - I am the sheep of His pastures(plenty, abundance).
Jesus is the good shepherd.
Psa 23:2....green pastures. Fresh and not stale.
Our Shepherd is not a pastoralist. We dwell in His secret place.
Gen.1.29 - And God said, "See, I have given you every herb that yields seed which is on the face of all the earth, and every tree whose fruit yields seed; to you it shall be for food.
God's abundance for us is not just for misuse, but to spend it in fellowship with Him.
+ Sheep are vulnerable animals.
+ They don't have any defensive mechanism (defenseless).
To survive;
+ Sheep must flock together. We need the fellowship of each other(church).
Let's avoid that law of separation.
+ The sheep must have a Shepherd (the set man or office by God on us).
We pray, appreciate and support them.
Judg.6.8 - that the LORD sent a prophet to the children of Israel....

A Prayer for Rest
God,

In a world that glorifies busyness, it is so easy to fill my time with things that don’t matter. If I’m not careful, I numb out or burn out because I don’t create enough space to rest in Your presence each day. I need You to change the way I think and the way I live. I need You to help me make space for rest. Help me come to You daily—I want to simply be with You.

In Jesus’ name,
Amen.

Isa.54.12 - I will make your pinnacles of rubies, Your gates of crystal, And all your walls of precious stones.
Isa.54.13 - All your children shall be taught by the LORD, And great shall be the peace of your children.
Isa.54.14 - In righteousness you shall be established; You shall be far from oppression, for you shall not fear; And from terror, for it shall not come near you.
Isa.54.15 - Indeed they shall surely assemble, but not because of Me. Whoever assembles against you shall fall for your sake.

A Prayer for Living Generously
God,

Without You, I have nothing. Every good and perfect gift comes from You—but sometimes, I view the gifts You’ve given me as something I deserve. Sometimes I am tempted to hoard my wealth, time, and resources instead of sharing them with others. Ultimately, I know that I am blessed to be a blessing—so please help me wisely steward the gifts You’ve entrusted to me. Turn me into someone who lives—and gives—generously.

In Jesus’ name,
Amen.
