Christ Models Glorifying Father
Christ’s claim draw the attention
of more than the hungry and sick.
The Pharisees, religious leaders
concerned about status quo,
respond with angry resistance.
But how do you refute a Man
who preaches that He is the
Light of the World, then proves
it by giving sight to the blind? …
who claims He is the Resurrection,
then validates that claim by raising
a man from the dead. The choice
is clear: Either believe Him or seek
to silence Him once and for all.
Lord, we will Live for Your Glory:
Jesus replied: the time has come
for the Son of Man to enter into
His Glory… Those who love their life
in this world will lose it. Those who
care nothing for their life in this
world will keep it (John 12:23-25)
All those who want to be my
disciples must follow me because
my servants must be where I am.
And if they follow me, the Father
will honour them. Now my soul
is deeply troubled. Should I pray:
Father, save me from what lies
ahead? But that is the very reason
why I came! Father, bring Glory
to Your name (v26-28). Amen.
Lord, we ask you to begin a life-
time of sanctifying work in our
children. Let the years of their
youth not be wasted, preoccupied
with just earthly things. Instead
make them be fruitful years that
generate plentiful harvest in your
kingdom. And Lord give me the
power I need to put to death any
-thing that keeps me from being
fruitful for your kingdom. Amen.
Lord, grant us the grace to be
immersed in the love of Christ
and to live more purposefully.
Help us learn to lead fruitful lives
spent in loving others so that
they may know the Saviour.
Help us to stay close to You;
to worship and praise You; and
bring Glory to God’s name. Amen.
Lord, may my desire & motivation
be that Your name be Glorified in
every trial & situation I may go thro.
Keep my mind and heart focused
on Jesus’ example and committed
to what God wants to accomplish
in my life. Holy Spirit, please give
me grace to live wholeheartedly
for the Glory of God’s name, Amen.
