Chapters: John 19-21
Message: John: Christ Arose
Hello My Friend,
As we come to the end of the reading of the Gospels, we learn that it is not the seeing of Christ’s death, burial, and resurrection that is believing, it is the faith that sees the believing, [1 John 5:10-13 He that believeth on the Son of God hath the witness in himself: he that believeth not God hath made him a liar; because he believeth not the record that God gave of his Son. 11 And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. 12 He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life. 13 These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God.]
Well, my mom jumped into the arms of Jesus last night. That horrible disease is no longer taking control of her body. If there is anything to be thankful for this year, it is the time that I did have as being her caregiver. It was so hard, but that time was precious and I am so glad that I made that sacrifice. It was probably the most selfless thing that I have ever done in my life. When the doctor was telling me that she had passed, I told him that I knew that she is with Jesus now and she knew it too, she may have been losing her mind, but never forgot that she accepted Him as her Saviour. She is up there with three of my brothers and my dad, and I am sure they already greeted her. There is a sense of peace that you get even though you are still grieving, when you think of them in heaven. I cannot imagine leaving this earth without knowing where my eternity lies, and no one else could either if it were not for Jesus. This passage comes to mind.
[Romans 5:1-5,8-10 Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ: 2 By whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God. 3 And not only so, but we glory in tribulations also: knowing that tribulation worketh patience; 4 And patience, experience; and experience, hope: 5 And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us. 8 But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. 9 Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him. 10 For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life.]
We have been reading through the accounts of the four Gospels and how each of the authors witnessed their walk with Christ and how they perceived Him as being not only the Son of God, but a man of great sorrows. While each one does differ in how they reverence Him, they all point to the sinless death, burial, and resurrection of the Lord, Jesus Christ. Now,, we have John’s account of His death, burial, and resurrection, in which he appeals to all mankind. John, was actually there the entire time that Jesus was being sentenced and up until His death on the cross. He also accounts that Pilate tried everything to keep Jesus from being crucified.
[John 19:1-6 Then Pilate therefore took Jesus, and scourged him. 2 And the soldiers platted a crown of thorns, and put it on his head, and they put on him a purple robe, 3 And said, Hail, King of the Jews! and they smote him with their hands. 4 Pilate therefore went forth again, and saith unto them, Behold, I bring him forth to you, that ye may know that I find no fault in him. 5 Then came Jesus forth, wearing the crown of thorns, and the purple robe. And Pilate saith unto them, Behold the man! 6 When the chief priests therefore and officers saw him, they cried out, saying, Crucify him, crucify him. Pilate saith unto them, Take ye him, and crucify him: for I find no fault in him.]
While Matthew, Mark, and Luke do record Jesus being crowned with the crown of thorns and covered with the purple robe, John, shows that Jesus stood before the crowd wearing them. Notice that Pilate at first presents Him as just a man. He did this in an attempt to get the people to see how badly beaten he was and be satisfied with just that. Whenever a person was scourged, they were severely whipped with flogs, whips, and Cat o’ nine tails, which is a chain with a ball at the end that has a nail sticking out of it. So needless to say it was not a pretty sight and the crowd was not happy with just seeing Jesus nearly beaten to death. Pilate, even tried to convince himself that he had the power to save Jesus from death if He only spoke up.
[John 19:7-12 The Jews answered him, We have a law, and by our law he ought to die, because he made himself the Son of God. 8 When Pilate therefore heard that saying, he was the more afraid; 9 And went again into the judgment hall, and saith unto Jesus, Whence art thou? But Jesus gave him no answer. 10 Then saith Pilate unto him, Speakest thou not unto me? knowest thou not that I have power to crucify thee, and have power to release thee? 11 Jesus answered, Thou couldest have no power at all against me, except it were given thee from above: therefore he that delivered me unto thee hath the greater sin. 12 And from thenceforth Pilate sought to release him: but the Jews cried out, saying, If thou let this man go, thou art not Caesar’s friend: whosoever maketh himself a king speaketh against Caesar.]
When you stop to think about it, God could have sent fire down from heaven and killed everyone of those fools chanting, “Crucify Him!”. While Jesus did not say that Pilate was innocent in all this, He did tell him that their sin would be greater than his. While all sin carries the same punishment there are some that are an abomination to God, and they will be judged for them well before their death, [Proverbs 6:16-19 These six things doth the LORD hate: yea, seven are an abomination unto him: 17 A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood, 18 An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief, 19 A false witness that speaketh lies, and he that soweth discord among brethren.]
That actually made Pilate even more afraid to sentence Jesus to death, but it did not matter what Pilate said, they were determined to have Him killed. From that moment, Pilate actually realized that Jesus truly is the Son of God, and Jesus knew that he did not want to deliver Him into their hands. Nevertheless, the keep the mob at bay, he delivered the judgment of death by crucifixion.
[John 19:13-17 When Pilate therefore heard that saying, he brought Jesus forth, and sat down in the judgment seat in a place that is called the Pavement, but in the Hebrew, Gabbatha. 14 And it was the preparation of the passover, and about the sixth hour: and he saith unto the Jews, Behold your King! 15 But they cried out, Away with him, away with him, crucify him. Pilate saith unto them, Shall I crucify your King? The chief priests answered, We have no king but Caesar. 16 Then delivered he him therefore unto them to be crucified. And they took Jesus, and led him away. 17 And he bearing his cross went forth into a place called the place of a skull, which is called in the Hebrew Golgotha:]
Think about what they were saying? Was not God supposed to be their Sovereign? And yet here they were proclaiming that their king was a man. We may have people who are in authority over us, but we only have one KING and that is Jesus, [Hebrews 13:15-17 By him therefore let us offer the sacrifice of praise to God continually, that is, the fruit of our lips giving thanks to his name. 16 But to do good and to communicate forget not: for with such sacrifices God is well pleased. 17 Obey them that have the rule over you, and submit yourselves: for they watch for your souls, as they that must give account, that they may do it with joy, and not with grief: for that is unprofitable for you.]
Pilate, did try three times to get them to release Jesus, but realized that there was nothing he could do and therefore, delivered Him to be crucified, [John 19:18-22 Where they crucified him, and two other with him, on either side one, and Jesus in the midst. 19 And Pilate wrote a title, and put it on the cross. And the writing was, JESUS OF NAZARETH THE KING OF THE JEWS. 20 This title then read many of the Jews: for the place where Jesus was crucified was nigh to the city: and it was written in Hebrew, and Greek, and Latin. 21 Then said the chief priests of the Jews to Pilate, Write not, The King of the Jews; but that he said, I am King of the Jews. 22 Pilate answered, What I have written I have written.]
Those reprobates wanted to get rid of the man that not only exposed them for being the hypocrites that they were, but also convicted them of their own sins. Nevertheless, they had no idea that they were all being used by God to fulfill every one of the prophecies concerning Christ’s crucifixion, death, burial, and resurrection, including the one in which the soldiers gambled over His clothes.
[John 19:23-24 Then the soldiers, when they had crucified Jesus, took his garments, and made four parts, to every soldier a part; and also his coat: now the coat was without seam, woven from the top throughout. 24 They said therefore among themselves, Let us not rend it, but cast lots for it, whose it shall be: that the scripture might be fulfilled, which saith, They parted my raiment among them, and for my vesture they did cast lots. These things therefore the soldiers did. ]
This is the prophecy they were talking about, [Psalms 22:16-18 For dogs have compassed me: the assembly of the wicked have inclosed me: they pierced my hands and my feet. 17 I may tell all my bones: they look and stare upon me. 18 They part my garments among them, and cast lots upon my vesture.] Is it not interesting that they all knew that this was written in the Scriptures? Well, whether we care to admit it or not, everything is under the power of God, and no one can go against what is already predestined, [Hebrews 9:27-28 And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment: 28 So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation.]
Just some things that we cannot avoid, and must come to pass as it is written even for. And it was not until every bit of the Scripture was fulfilled that Jesus knew it was time to die. Well, among them were quite a few believers, including Mary Magdalene, Jesus’ mother, and John himself. As Jesus was hanging on the cross, and through an incredible miracle, Jesus, locked eyes on His mother as well as John.
[John 19:25-30 Now there stood by the cross of Jesus his mother, and his mother’s sister, Mary the wife of Cleophas, and Mary Magdalene. 26 When Jesus therefore saw his mother, and the disciple standing by, whom he loved, he saith unto his mother, Woman, behold thy son! 27 Then saith he to the disciple, Behold thy mother! And from that hour that disciple took her unto his own home. 28 After this, Jesus knowing that all things were now accomplished, that the scripture might be fulfilled, saith, I thirst. 29 Now there was set a vessel full of vinegar: and they filled a spunge with vinegar, and put it upon hyssop, and put it to his mouth. 30 When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, It is finished: and he bowed his head, and gave up the ghost.]
Jesus, did not want to leave His mother fending for herself after He left so, He looks to the one who stood by her the whole time and also stood by Him. When we come to know Christ as our Saviour He does not leave us here to fend for ourselves, we have the Holy Spirit to care for, comfort, and guide us, [John 16:13-14 Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come. 14 He shall glorify me: for he shall receive of mine, and shall shew it unto you.]
Right there, Jesus not only knew that the will of His Father had been done, it was finished. Now, as the Sabbath drew near and the other two men were still alive, in order to speed up the process so they would not be hanging there come sunset, they decided to break their legs, when they came to Jesus and noticed that He had died, one of the soldiers pierced His side with his spear.
[John 19:31-37 The Jews therefore, because it was the preparation, that the bodies should not remain upon the cross on the sabbath day, (for that sabbath day was an high day,) besought Pilate that their legs might be broken, and that they might be taken away. 32 Then came the soldiers, and brake the legs of the first, and of the other which was crucified with him. 33 But when they came to Jesus, and saw that he was dead already, they brake not his legs: 34 But one of the soldiers with a spear pierced his side, and forthwith came there out blood and water. 35 And he that saw it bare record, and his record is true: and he knoweth that he saith true, that ye might believe. 36 For these things were done, that the scripture should be fulfilled, A bone of him shall not be broken. 37 And again another scripture saith, They shall look on him whom they pierced.]
John, was referring to this verse, [Psalms 34:20 He keepeth all his bones: not one of them is broken….Zechariah 12:10 And I will pour upon the house of David, and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the Spirit of grace and of supplications: and they shall look upon me whom they have pierced, and they shall mourn for him, as one mourneth for his only son, and shall be in bitterness for him, as one that is in bitterness for his firstborn.]
Yesterday I mention that Joseph of Arimathaea and Nicodemus were the few among the Jews that did not agree with the others to have Jesus killed. Now, we learn that both of them were there to bury Jesus.
[John 19:38-42 And after this Joseph of Arimathaea, being a disciple of Jesus, but secretly for fear of the Jews, besought Pilate that he might take away the body of Jesus: and Pilate gave him leave. He came therefore, and took the body of Jesus. 39 And there came also Nicodemus, which at the first came to Jesus by night, and brought a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about an hundred pound weight. 40 Then took they the body of Jesus, and wound it in linen clothes with the spices, as the manner of the Jews is to bury. 41 Now in the place where he was crucified there was a garden; and in the garden a new sepulchre, wherein was never man yet laid. 42 There laid they Jesus therefore because of the Jews’ preparation day; for the sepulchre was nigh at hand.]
These were not the embalming spices that the ladies had prepared to put on His body after the Sabbath, these were to preserve His body until that time. Even though Jesus had been telling them the whole time that He would raise from the dead three days later they did not comprehend it and therefore followed the same procedures as they would any other person who died, [Matthew 20:18-19 Behold, we go up to Jerusalem; and the Son of man shall be betrayed unto the chief priests and unto the scribes, and they shall condemn him to death, 19 And shall deliver him to the Gentiles to mock, and to scourge, and to crucify him: and the third day he shall rise again.]
Jesus dying in our place was actually enough to break the curse of death passed down to man due to sin, but He went beyond that by giving every believer eternal life with Him. How did Jesus do that? When He arose from the dead. John, also gives the account of Mary Magdalene and the other women coming to the tomb on the first day of the week, but he also tells of him and Peter running to the tomb.
[John 20:1-5 The first day of the week cometh Mary Magdalene early, when it was yet dark, unto the sepulchre, and seeth the stone taken away from the sepulchre. 2 Then she runneth, and cometh to Simon Peter, and to the other disciple, whom Jesus loved, and saith unto them, They have taken away the Lord out of the sepulchre, and we know not where they have laid him. 3 Peter therefore went forth, and that other disciple, and came to the sepulchre. 4 So they ran both together: and the other disciple did outrun Peter, and came first to the sepulchre. 5 And he stooping down, and looking in, saw the linen clothes lying; yet went he not in.]
Hearing the news that Jesus was gone could have either been exciting or unbelievable to them, but either way they wanted to know right away if it was true. John, was out of breath and as he stood there, catching his breath, Peter ran past him into the tomb, [John 20:6-11 Then cometh Simon Peter following him, and went into the sepulchre, and seeth the linen clothes lie, 7 And the napkin, that was about his head, not lying with the linen clothes, but wrapped together in a place by itself. 8 Then went in also that other disciple, which came first to the sepulchre, and he saw, and believed. 9 For as yet they knew not the scripture, that he must rise again from the dead. 10 Then the disciples went away again unto their own home. 11 But Mary stood without at the sepulchre weeping: and as she wept, she stooped down, and looked into the sepulchre,]
While it is true that there is plenty of Scripture that points to Christ’s birth and crucifixion, there are not many that specifically point to His resurrection, which Jesus said that the only sign given would be Jonah, [Matthew 16:4 A wicked and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign; and there shall no sign be given unto it, but the sign of the prophet Jonas. And he left them, and departed.]
However, the writings of the Old Testament in various places do point out the resurrection of Christ, [Hosea 6:1-3 Come, and let us return unto the LORD: for he hath torn, and he will heal us; he hath smitten, and he will bind us up. 2 After two days will he revive us: in the third day he will raise us up, and we shall live in his sight. 3 Then shall we know, if we follow on to know the LORD: his going forth is prepared as the morning; and he shall come unto us as the rain, as the latter and former rain unto the earth.]
Now, after learning that Jesus was not in the tomb they were still trying to grasp what is going on. Mary, returns to the tomb and that was where she saw the two angels, then Jesus just appears.
[John 20:12-16 And seeth two angels in white sitting, the one at the head, and the other at the feet, where the body of Jesus had lain. 13 And they say unto her, Woman, why weepest thou? She saith unto them, Because they have taken away my Lord, and I know not where they have laid him. 14 And when she had thus said, she turned herself back, and saw Jesus standing, and knew not that it was Jesus. 15 Jesus saith unto her, Woman, why weepest thou? whom seekest thou? She, supposing him to be the gardener, saith unto him, Sir, if thou have borne him hence, tell me where thou hast laid him, and I will take him away. 16 Jesus saith unto her, Mary. She turned herself, and saith unto him, Rabboni; which is to say, Master.]
Just like the others, she did not recognize Him at first, but quickly discovered who it was the second He spoke her name. Is that not incredible that we have that same reaction? Jesus said this, [John 10:15-16 As the Father knoweth me, even so know I the Father: and I lay down my life for the sheep. 16 And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one fold, and one shepherd.]
Speaking of sheep, later that day as the Apostles and other believers gathered in a room hidden from the Jews to discuss the matter, Jesus, appears, and something incredible happened. He spoke to them, and breathed on them, literally giving life to their souls and they knew it too.
[John 20:19-24 Then the same day at evening, being the first day of the week, when the doors were shut where the disciples were assembled for fear of the Jews, came Jesus and stood in the midst, and saith unto them, Peace be unto you. 20 And when he had so said, he shewed unto them his hands and his side. Then were the disciples glad, when they saw the Lord. 21 Then said Jesus to them again, Peace be unto you: as my Father hath sent me, even so send I you. 22 And when he had said this, he breathed on them, and saith unto them, Receive ye the Holy Ghost: 23 Whose soever sins ye remit, they are remitted unto them; and whose soever sins ye retain, they are retained. 24 But Thomas, one of the twelve, called Didymus, was not with them when Jesus came.]
[Remit; To relax; To forgive; To surrender the right of punishing a crime; To pardon.] In other words, those who admit their sin, believe in Him, and accept Him, not only are pardoned of their sin, they receive the Holy Spirit or Spirit of God to their souls as well. However, those who do not will remain in their sin and not receive anything, [James 1:5-7 If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him. 6 But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed. 7 For let not that man think that he shall receive any thing of the Lord.]
Speaking of faith, there was one Apostle that was not there, that was Thomas and he refused to believe that they saw Jesus unless he saw some proof, [John 20:25-29 The other disciples therefore said unto him, We have seen the Lord. But he said unto them, Except I shall see in his hands the print of the nails, and put my finger into the print of the nails, and thrust my hand into his side, I will not believe. 26 And after eight days again his disciples were within, and Thomas with them: then came Jesus, the doors being shut, and stood in the midst, and said, Peace be unto you. 27 Then saith he to Thomas, Reach hither thy finger, and behold my hands; and reach hither thy hand, and thrust it into my side: and be not faithless, but believing. 28 And Thomas answered and said unto him, My Lord and my God. 29 Jesus saith unto him, Thomas, because thou hast seen me, thou hast believed: blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have believed.]
Do you know how many people see something miraculous right before their eyes and still do not believe in the power of God? Jesus wanted Thomas to understand that seeing Him was not believing in Him, but He must have faith to believe in what he was seeing. You know, we can see some amazing things with our eyes, imagine what we can really see by opening them to Jesus? Blessed are those who have faith and believe without seeing, for they will truly see the power of God working in their lives, [1 John 5:13-15 These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God. 14 And this is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask any thing according to his will, he heareth us: 15 And if we know that he hear us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we desired of him.]
Peter and John spent three and a half years ministering to Jesus, now, that He was gone the only thing they thought to do was go back to the life they lived before Christ. They decided to go fishing with some of the other disciples, but could not catch any fish, [John 21:1-5 After these things Jesus shewed himself again to the disciples at the sea of Tiberias; and on this wise shewed he himself. 2 There were together Simon Peter, and Thomas called Didymus, and Nathanael of Cana in Galilee, and the sons of Zebedee, and two other of his disciples. 3 Simon Peter saith unto them, I go a fishing. They say unto him, We also go with thee. They went forth, and entered into a ship immediately; and that night they caught nothing. 4 But when the morning was now come, Jesus stood on the shore: but the disciples knew not that it was Jesus. 5 Then Jesus saith unto them, Children, have ye any meat? They answered him, No.]
These men did not know what to do anymore after they had spent so much time with Jesus so they did went back to the life they lived. At first, no one knew that it was Jesus, but as soon as John saw the fish, he knew right away that it was Him. As they returned back to shore with the fish they find Jesus there with a fire and fish.
[John 21:6-10,12 And he said unto them, Cast the net on the right side of the ship, and ye shall find. They cast therefore, and now they were not able to draw it for the multitude of fishes. 7 Therefore that disciple whom Jesus loved saith unto Peter, It is the Lord. Now when Simon Peter heard that it was the Lord, he girt his fisher’s coat unto him, (for he was naked,) and did cast himself into the sea. 8 And the other disciples came in a little ship; (for they were not far from land, but as it were two hundred cubits,) dragging the net with fishes. 9 As soon then as they were come to land, they saw a fire of coals there, and fish laid thereon, and bread. 10 Jesus saith unto them, Bring of the fish which ye have now caught. 12 Jesus saith unto them, Come and dine. And none of the disciples durst ask him, Who art thou? knowing that it was the Lord.]
Right here, Jesus, is showing them what He wants them to do when He leaves, which He goes on to tell them, but speaking directly to Peter. Remember, Jesus said that He was going to make them to become fishers of men. Peter, might have denied Jesus three times, but that did not stop Jesus from using him to continue the work He began. Jesus, goes on to tell Peter what He expected of him and all of the disciples.
[John 21:15-17 So when they had dined, Jesus saith to Simon Peter, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me more than these? He saith unto him, Yea, Lord; thou knowest that I love thee. He saith unto him, Feed my lambs. 16 He saith to him again the second time, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me? He saith unto him, Yea, Lord; thou knowest that I love thee. He saith unto him, Feed my sheep. 17 He saith unto him the third time, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me? Peter was grieved because he said unto him the third time, Lovest thou me? And he said unto him, Lord, thou knowest all things; thou knowest that I love thee. Jesus saith unto him, Feed my sheep.]
You see, trusting in someone is not always about not falling from time to time, it is about getting back up and doing our best when we do. This is the great commission in a nutshell, you get saved by grace, then publicly profess your faith by getting baptized in water, and as you start living your life through Christ, you lead others to Him as well, starting the cycle all over again, which Jesus goes on to explain.
[John 21:18-22 Verily, verily, I say unto thee, When thou wast young, thou girdedst thyself, and walkedst whither thou wouldest: but when thou shalt be old, thou shalt stretch forth thy hands, and another shall gird thee, and carry thee whither thou wouldest not. 19 This spake he, signifying by what death he should glorify God. And when he had spoken this, he saith unto him, Follow me. 20 Then Peter, turning about, seeth the disciple whom Jesus loved following; which also leaned on his breast at supper, and said, Lord, which is he that betrayeth thee? 21 Peter seeing him saith to Jesus, Lord, and what shall this man do? 22 Jesus saith unto him, If I will that he tarry till I come, what is that to thee? follow thou me.]
It is not for us to question the way others live or even the will of God for them, we are here to do what God called us to do. To point this out, Peter, watched as John followed Jesus, and asks what job He have for him. Jesus, again reiterates that it is not his concern what John is going to do, [John 21:23-25 Then went this saying abroad among the brethren, that that disciple should not die: yet Jesus said not unto him, He shall not die; but, If I will that he tarry till I come, what is that to thee? 24 This is the disciple which testifieth of these things, and wrote these things: and we know that his testimony is true. 25 And there are also many other things which Jesus did, the which, if they should be written every one, I suppose that even the world itself could not contain the books that should be written. Amen.]
Jesus, was telling Peter that He has a specific path for him and a specific one for John as well, so do not worry about what he is doing, just follow Him. This is what Jesus is telling us also, God’s will for my life is not the same as His will for your life, every one of us has our own course to run in which He gives us. We are finish our course by aiming to please God, and no one else, never looking back, and always pressing toward the prize once we finish our course, [Philippians 3:13-15 Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, 14 I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus. 15 Let us therefore, as many as be perfect, be thus minded: and if in any thing ye be otherwise minded, God shall reveal even this unto you.]
Today’s Prayer: Jesus, Thank You, again for taking my place on the cross, for dying to save my soul from death and hell though my faith alone in You. While I do not need to do anything to keep my salvation for it is now eternal, I do want to live the rest of my time here by patiently running the course that You have laid out for me. Through the sorrow, through the pain, through the suffering, keep my eyes, ears, mind, and heart on the truth that I have finished my course and will receive my crown of righteousness. While I am here, everything I need will be given by You though my faith, and as long as I ask for them, I know You will provide. LORD, lead me and guide me, keep my heart tender, my faith strong, and my mind in Your mercy and grace, give me Your power to walk by faith and not by sight, and give me Your strength to continue my course patiently until it is done. I ask these things in Your name, Jesus. Amen.
God Bless You, I am praying for you,
Christina
