Luke 11

Daily Verse

Jesus said to her, "I am the resurrection and the life.

He who believes in me will live, even though he dies;

and whoever lives and believes in me will never die.

Do you believe this?"

Luke 11:25-26

Daily Thought

"Lord," Martha said to Jesus, "if you had been here, my brother would not have died."

Jesus said to her, "Your brother will rise again."
~Luke 11:21, 23

"Did you hear about the game?" shouted my friend. Before I could stop him, he told me the score...

...of the game I had recorded on Tivo.

I watched it anyway.

So, when my team was a run behind in the 3rd, and 2 runs behind in the 5th, and 4 in the 7th, I didn't fret.

I was curious. How are they going to do it?

But I knew all the time - my team won.

Jesus called in a loud voice, "Lazarus, come out!" The dead man came out, his hands and feet wrapped with strips of linen, and a cloth around his face. Jesus said to them, "Take off the grave clothes and let him go."
~Luke 11:43-44

Daily Prayer

Eternal God, You know the end from the beginning. You are sovereign and powerful, and Your will be done. You write the story and it is good. I need be anxious about nothing, because I find rest in Your strength and contentment in Your care.

God, since death has been conquered by Your Son, I live confidently, knowing that there is nothing in this world that can take me from Your hand.

Amen.
