“So with you: Now is your time of grief, but I will see you again and you will rejoice, and no one will take away your joy.”
Daily Bread
1) Joy through Jesus’ resurrection.
Jesus knew that His crucifixion was coming, and at that time, the disciples would be plunged into darkness and sorrow. So, Jesus took this time to comfort and strengthen them. His crucifixion would seem like the end, but it would pave the way for new life, everlasting joy, and true freedom! In our lives, we are often like the disciples. We become soaked in difficult situations, feeling like there is no hope. But remember, the pain and struggles we face in this world are temporary. Our true hope is in Jesus! His resurrection overcame the power of sin, death, and defeat. We can live as conquerors when we turn our eyes to Jesus. No matter what struggles we face today, let’s fill our hearts with resurrection faith and joy.
2) Access to God through Jesus.
Jesus assured His disciples that they would receive whatever they asked for in His name. This is an incredible privilege that we also have! Imagine trying to talk to the President of the United States-you can’t just walk into his office. But our Almighty God always has the door wide open for us to come to Him anytime. We have complete access to Him because of Jesus Christ. This gives us a great sense of peace and confidence. We can come as we are and we can be bold in our prayers. Think about it - we have 24/7 access to our all-powerful God, and yet sometimes we just pray for God to fix our small personal matters. Let’s pray bigger, asking for God’s intervention to change our hearts and transform this generation to love and glorify Him. How can you be bolder in your prayers?
Prayer: Heavenly Father, thank You for reminding me that even though I may face trials, I can experience joy through Jesus Christ. Help me remember this truth in dark times and approach You boldly in prayer, trusting that Jesus gives me direct access to You.
One Word: There is joy and strength in Jesus Christ!
