Jesaja 43:2-3

When Jesus announced the start of his ministry, he used the words of Isaiah 61. His mission, he declared was to bring good news to the poor; releasing the captive, binding up the broken hearted, comforting those who mourn. But what does good news look like?

It’s likely you have a giant in your life that is holding you captive, intimidating you, and stealing your joy. Adversaries like fear, rejection, comfort, anger, and addiction stake a claim and gain a foothold in your heart. In this seven-day reading plan, Louie Giglio examines the David and Goliath story to show how those giants can fall: by focusing on the size of our God, not the height of your giants, and by walking in the victory Jesus has already won.

This devotional is an invitation to feel, to wrestle, to be fully awake in your suffering after miscarriage or other loss. It is also an invitation to be nurtured and understood and to hear from another woman that the pain gets better, even as we long for the day when our tears are wiped away and pain is no more. Wherever you are on your journey of grief after losing a baby—or any kind of personal heartache or suffering—I pray these words will be a gateway for God’s grace. Let’s dive deep together.

Jesus hinterließ der Kirche die Vision einer Bewegung, als Er uns aufforderte, uns von unserem eigenen Jerusalem aus in „Judäa, Samarien und bis ans Ende der Erde“ zu vermehren (Apostelgeschichte 1,8). Damit wir eine Bewegung sehen können, muss jeder Nachfolger Christi die persönliche Mission Jesu annehmen, „die Verlorenen zu suchen und zu retten“ (Lukas 19,10). Evangelisation ist ein Kernstück der Mission Jesu und unerlässlich, um Seine Vision zu verwirklichen.
