Jesus First: Devotions to Start Your DaySample

Eternal Promise

God does not wish for any to be apart from him. He has no desire for anyone to perish but wants all to live eternally in his light. Jesus came to set us free in his love and save us from death's darkness. His eternal promise is for all who believe! Jesus is the very image of God in human form. So, how often do we look to his life for the hope he proclaimed?

Jesus is the living Word. He is alive! He rose from the dead and broke the power of everything that kept us separated from God. He is our holy hope, our very present help, and everything we could ever need for life. How well do you know Jesus? He says that he stands at the door of our hearts and knocks. For those who answer, he will come in and dwell with them. The Holy Spirit is ours, here and now, to reveal the fellowship we already have with God through Jesus Christ. It is a powerful miracle that we have access to God right now. May you find encouragement in his promises today.

Lamb of God, thank you for loving us enough to reveal the true heart of the Father through your life and death. I want to come alive in you today, and I want to hold onto the hope of your eternal love, which promises so much more.
