April 2025 at Living Word
“Remember Me”, was it a request, suggestion, or something much more? We are all designed with a plan and purpose. Our goal is to make sure we remember and teach our children that Jesus is real and He loves us. God provided a plan for salvation because of His love for each of us. Open your ears, eyes, and heart, grow in what you know as you allow your relationship to grow with Jesus as your Savior.
Jesus defeated death so we don’t need to focus on that. We need to celebrate the resurrection and love God has for each of us. Thank God for sending Jesus to take your place in the payment for sins and preparing a place for you in the Kingdome
April 6 It was a very special super as HE shared His last meal and shared God’s plan of salvation even though He knew one would betray and another reject in a very short time. Matthew 26:17-30; Luke 22:19; 1 Corinthians 11:17-29; John 3:17; Romans 5:8. The Passover meal was a special time. They would eat unleavened bread because they were to leave before the bread had time to rise, they remembered the lamb and the blood over the door post that showed their faith and protected them from death. This time it was much different, the Lamb was the Son of God, His blood would bring Life Forever More.
April 13 Do you love those moments of peace and quiet? How about when you have an overwhelming urge to praise God? The stage was set for the price to be paid and the crowd was praising and shouting. A time would come with no obstacles, squabbling or turmoil, and there will be eternal peace forever more but now The King was on a donkey. Zechariah 9:9. Triumphal entry, Jesus the promised Messiah and Savior. Matthew 21:1-11; Mark 11:1-11; John 3:17; 12:12-19; Luke 19:28-40; 22:19. Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord! Hosanna in the highest!
April 20 Abandoned, beaten, mocked, spit on. Dead or alive? A piercing can cause death or allow miracles to take place. Just thinking about the piercing that took place over 2000 years ago. Those piercings allowed the blood to flow and everything that blocked me from being in the presence of God to be removed. With Christ death, He took my sins upon Him. Thankful that my God is alive and well today. Each one of us are one heartbeat away from earthly death but it is the relationship with Jesus that determines what happens next. HE is alive, we do not have to wait for the stone to roll away. Past, present, future, Jesus died to pay the penalty for all my sins but Jesus is alive. Matthew 26:36-28:10; John 3:17; Romans 6:23 Make Him your Lord today.
April 27 All the Bible tells of God’s plan of salvation through His Son Jesus. They knew about Him but did not know. Two men on the road to Emmaus Luke 22:19, 24:13-35; John 3:17; Isaiah 53:5. They left Him for dead and gone. Little did they know He was there in the beginning, He was still there in the present, and He had just paid the price to make our future forevermore in God’s Kingdom. God’s salvation is a gift that every person needs, they just need to receive and open it. Reflect on your faith. Are you ready and willing to share the Gospel with someone who needs to hear it.
Don’t be chicken, hop to it and share the gifts God has given you to share His Love.
