"Then the other disciple also went in, the one who had arrived at the tomb first, and he saw and believed." John 20:8
Can you imagine spending three years with Jesus, getting to know Him and yet still not believing in everything that He said. Living in the midst of all of it, they listened but did not hear. Then the Words of Jesus came alive when He wasn't there and He rose from the dead.
My thoughts turn to all those people who come to Christmas services, are they coming to an empty tomb or one filled with the presence of God? Seeing is believing, until I seen the Risen Lord and took Him home with me in my heart He didn't become real. "Jesus said to them, "Amen, amen, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you do not have life within you." John 6:53
Dear Heavenly Father, I pray for all those that come in faith to celebrate Your Birthday, may they see the Risen Lord and bring You home with them. Help us slow down and think about Your life and how it is being revealed to us. Prayers for the coming year Lord, it is a new year and a new beginning, help me
contemplate my actions and thoughts so they are in alignment with Yours. I trust in You and look forward to what is unfolding. In Jesus name, Amen.
Mary, Queen of Peace, pray for us.
Greater is He that is in me than he that is in the world. 1 John 4:4b
