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.
