Wednesday – February 8th – 1 John 5:4 -----
5:4) For whatever is born of God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that has overcome the world--our faith.
The Daily Walk Bible inspirational thought for today:
JESUS KNOWS WE MUST COME APART AND REST AWHILE OR ELSE WE MAY JUST PLAIN COME APART.*
Happy mid-week Wednesday to you! Hard to believe but in two weeks from today we will be celebrating Ash Wednesday and the beginning of the season of Lent. SunRise offers two different options for ashes. From 7am -8am on Wednesday February 22 the church will be open for folks to come by and receive ashes. Then at 7pm that evening we will gather for a worship service that will include Holy Communion and ashes. Ash Wednesday marks the beginning of a journey of self-reflection, renewal, and preparation for the celebration of Jesus’ empty tomb on Easter morning.
In our pick verse today, John continues to teach on the importance of our relationship with Jesus that leads to a new life and new perspective. When we are born of God through the expression of our faith in Jesus as savior, God pours His own life into us. Thus, we are able to overcome the temptations of the devil, disregard the words of false teachers, and endure persecutions that come from a sinful and sin-filled world. Even though we experience struggles, sufferings, and temptations of all kinds, we are assured of complete victory in this life because of Jesus’ victory over sin and the grave. We can live our lives as victorious people no matter what is coming against us.
Blessings
Pastor Jim
