Life presents us with many opportunities. How we respond to them depends on what we love and what we look for in life. The Jewish leaders looked for opportunity to destroy Jesus. While at the same time Jesus was anticipating the opportunity to obey his father and bring him glory. Mary used the opportunity she had for expressing her devotion to Christ. But Judas used that same opportunity to criticize her. The nothing given in love to Jesus is ever wasted. Judas was the one who ended up wasting his entire life.

Jesus eagerly anticipated the opportunity to be with his disciples. Even though he knew one would betray him, one would deny him, and all would forsake him. He sought to help them and prepare them for the trial before them. Peter missed his opportunities to become strong and be a victor. He boasted when he should have listened. He slept when he should have prayed. He fought when he should have surrendered and followed when he should have fled for safety. But when the opportunity came for him to repent, he wept. No matter what others did, Jesus was in complete command and knew how to make the most of every opportunity. Not as I will, but as you will. That’s the secret. God will give you many opportunities today. Use them wisely.

Love the LORD, all his faithful people. The LORD protects the faithful, but punishes the proud as they deserve. Be strong, be courageous, all you that hope in the LORD.  ~ Psalms 31:23-24

We often praise Jesus for His power and provision but not as often for His willingness to become human and experience pain, temptation, and betrayal. He felt heartache like us. Watch todayʼs video to see how Lizzie Morgan became more patient with her shortcomings when she remembered that Jesus was God, the Provider and also the man who wept.

    You Need to Know the Bible for Yourself

    Everybody needs to know what the Bible really says: what it says about God, Jesus, the Holy Spirit, salvation and eternity, etc. Don’t depend on what a church or some famous preacher tells you. If you depend on Hollywood, the History Channel, or a magazine for the most important information you will ever need to know. You may end up lost forever not knowing what God has written down for you. He wants you to spend eternity with Him.

    You need to know Jesus before you can be saved. The bible is all about who Jesus is and what He has done for you. He has a gift for you and it is completely free. But if you don’t know Him, you will not be in the Kingdom of God with Jesus who gave His very life for you.

    “Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father who is in heaven will enter. “Many will say to Me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in Your name, and in Your name cast out demons, and in Your name perform many miracles?’ “And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; DEPART FROM ME, YOU WHO PRACTICE LAWLESSNESS.’  ~ Matthew 7:21-23

    There is an absurd amount of very bad information out in the world today about the Bible. You will only know the truth if you study the bible for yourself. And if you study the bible and ask The Holy Spirit to open your eyes to the truth He will and it will change your life forever.
