Growth 40 Days to Easter

Day 33

“Ponder the path of your feet, and let all your ways be established.”
PROVERBS 4:26
. . . . . . . . . the scarlet streams of Christ’s blood run throughout the way to the kingdom of heaven; therefore mind that, see if thou do not find the besprinkling of the blood of Christ in the way, and if thou do, be of good cheer, thou art in the right way. JOHN BUNYAN (1628-1688)
 
Psalm Sunday
“Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion! Shout in triumph, O daughter of Jerusalem! Behold, your king is coming to you; He is just and endowed with salvation, Humble, and mounted on a donkey, Even on a colt, the foal of a donkey.”
‭‭Zechariah‬ ‭9:9‬ ‭NASB‬‬

Day 34:
'"Now My soul has become troubled; and what shall I say, 'Father, save Me from this hour'? But for this purpose I came to this hour. Father, glorify Your name." Then a voice came out of heaven: "I have both glorified it, and will glorify it again." So the crowd of people who stood by and heard it were saying that it had thundered; others were saying, "An angel has spoken to Him." Jesus answered and said, "This voice has not come for My sake, but for your sakes. Now judgment is upon this world; now the ruler of this world will be cast out. And I, if I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all men to Myself." '

John 12:27-32

'He made Him who knew no sin to be sin on our behalf, so that we might become the righteousness of God in Him. '

Day 35

Present yourselves to God as being alive... and your members as instruments of righteousness to God. ROMANS 6:13

“I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service” (Rom. 12:1 KJV).

If we have given ourselves to Christ, then He has come to live within us, and our bodies are now the temples—the dwelling places—of the Holy Spirit. Now we must act worthy of Him who lives within us, disciplining both our bodies and minds so we do not bring dishonor to Him.

Let me challenge you to commit your body and your mind to Christ, “which is your reasonable service.” BILLY GRAHAM
 
Good Friday

In Jesus you discover a fountain to wash away the guilt of all your sin.
In Jesus you discover grace sufficient for you, grace to hold you up to the end, and a sure promise that sin shall soon be rooted out all together.

“Fear not, I have redeemed thee. I have called thee by My name; thou art Mine.”

Ah, this turns our groans into songs of praise! How often a psalm begins with groans and ends with praise!
This is the daily experience of all the Lord’s people. Is it yours? Try yourselves by this.
Oh, if you know not the believer’s song of praise, you will never cast your crowns with them at the feet of Jesus!
Dear believers, be content to glory in your infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon you.

Glory, glory, glory to the Lamb!

Matthew 27:55 -60 NKJV

55. And many women who followed Jesus from Galilee, ministering to Him, were there looking on from afar.
56. Among whom were Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James and Joses, and the mother of Zebedees sons.
57. Now when evening had come, there came a rich man from Arimathea, named Joseph, who himself had also become a desciple of Jesus.
58. This man went to Pilate and asked for the body of Jesus. Then Pilate commanded the body be given to him.
59. When Joseph had taken the body, He wrapped it in a clean linen cloth,
60. and laid it in his new tomb which He had hewn out of the rock; and he rolled a large stone against the door of the tomb, and departed.
 
You are my hope, O Lord GOD; You are my trust from my youth. PSALM 71:5

.....the Cross boldly stands against the confusion of our world, a beacon of hope in the midst of darkness and doubt.
In the Cross, Christ not only bridged the gap between God and us, but there we find the answers to life’s deepest questions.
There we discover our true identity: forgiven sinners who now belong to God.
There we discover our true destiny: a glorious eternity with God in Heaven.
There we discover our true purpose: to love God and serve Him with all our might.
Never underestimate what Christ did for us through the Cross.
By it our salvation was won, and by it our lives—and our world-can be transformed.
What difference does the Cross make in your life? BILLY GRAHAM
 
Isa 25:8 He will swallow up death forever; and the Lord GOD will wipe away tears from all faces, and the reproach of his people he will take away from all the earth, for the LORD has spoken.
Isa 25:9 It will be said on that day, “Behold, this is our God; we have waited for him, that he might save us. This is the LORD; we have waited for him; let us be glad and rejoice in his salvation.”
