Devotion
The Real Circle of Life
David Jacobs
This passage reminds me of the story of the baptism of Jesus by John. When Jesus came from Galilee to Jordan to be baptized by John, the two had an exchange, detailed in the Gospel of Matthew. John tried to deter Jesus by saying 'I need to baptize you, and do you come to me?'
Jesus replied, "Let it be so now; it is proper for us to do this to fulfill all righteousness." Then John consented.
As soon as Jesus was baptized, he went up out of the water. At that moment heaven was opened, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and alighting on him. 17 And a voice from heaven said, "This is my Son, whom I love; with him, I am well pleased."This is a fantastic example for all of us, that all old things pass away and become new, for in that moment, not only did Jesus' act please God, but it also allowed John to become anew by witnessing such humble devotion.
When we step into the light of the Lord we are transformed into new creatures. We repent so that our old sins are passed away, thus we are saved and become new.
Human life ends. Life through Christ is endless.
Prayer
Who you are now does not mean that is who you have to be later. If we submit to the Lord and believe, we can change from something that ends to something eternal.
Night Prayer
And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world?
Inspiration
We are curious about the last days, even though we understand the timing is only known to God. In the meantime, it is crucial that we remain alert and focused. Procrastination is dangerous; we must act now and keep our hearts prepared for Christ's return. We do this by living our lives according to God's will and inviting others to know Him. We will not be anxious! Instead, we will remain hopeful, carrying joy in our hearts at the thought of meeting our Savior face to face.
Prayer
Dear Lord, we are excited to meet You face to face and understand that there is much work to be done before Your return. We will remain hopeful and invite others to know You. In Jesus' Name, Amen.
