Meditate. What do you want Jesus to do?
When Jesus heard them, he stopped and called, "What do you want me to do for you?" Matthew 20:32
What Do You
Want Me to Do for You? That is what Jesus asked some blind men…and others…before
He healed them. What do you want Jesus to do for you? Are you expecting a
healing, some relief from tribulations…or anxiety? What will you do for Jesus
Christ? He told us to be prepared, on guard or alert so that we are ready for
His return at any time. Are you ready?
However, no one knows the day or hour
when these things will happen, not even the angels in heaven or the Son
himself. Only the Father knows. And since you don't know when that time will
come, be on guard! Stay alert! Mark 13:32-33
What has Jesus
done for you already? Have you not heard? Jesus died on a cross—as a sacrificial
lamb—for the sins of all mankind. He didn’t die just for the Jews—He died for
the people of all times all around the world. Jesus gave the ultimate gift—His very
life. The greatest miracle was that Jesus didn’t remain dead…He was raised from
the dead by our loving Heavenly Father…God Almighty. Jesus is God. No other god
has been resurrected. He is now in Heaven preparing a place for us (see John
14). What do you want Him to do?
Paul wrote advising other Christians to encourage others. That is what we can do for Jesus…encourage others.
Dear brothers and sisters, I close my
letter with these last words: Be joyful. Grow to maturity. Encourage each
other. Live in harmony and peace. Then the God of love and peace will be with
you. 2 Corinthians 13:11
Morning Glory
Near Jerusalem, Israel
Encourage others.
What do I want
Jesus to do for me? I look forward to Jesus return for the believers--to take us to our new home in Heaven that He is preparing for us. Come
quickly, Jesus.
Prayer ~ O LORD, I will honor and praise your name, for you are my God. You do such wonderful things! You planned them long ago, and now you have accomplished them. Isaiah 25:1
Verses of Salvation ~ As for us, we can't help but thank God for you, dear brothers and sisters loved by the Lord. We are always thankful that God chose you to be among the first to experience salvation—a salvation that came through the Spirit who makes you holy and through your belief in the truth. He called you to salvation when we told you the Good News; now you can share in the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ. With all these things in mind, dear brothers and sisters, stand firm and keep a strong grip on the teaching we passed on to you both in person and by letter. Now may our Lord Jesus Christ himself and God our Father, who loved us and by his grace gave us eternal comfort and a wonderful hope, comfort you and strengthen you in every good thing you do and say. 2 Thessalonians 2:13-17
