Bible Verse: “But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you…” - Matthew 5:43-47 (NIV) ✨ Daily Meditation: In today’s profound devotional, Jaime Hampton, host of Praying Christian Women Podcast., explores one of Jesus’ most radical and challenging teachings: loving our enemies. This message, drawn from the Sermon on the Mount, calls us not only to tolerate but to bless, pray for, and show compassion to those who oppose or hurt us. We are reminded that our real enemy is not flesh and blood, but the spiritual forces of evil (Ephesians 6:12). When we shift from retaliation to intercession, we begin to see others through God’s eyes — as image-bearers, not adversaries. It’s in these moments of surrendered love that God does His deepest transformative work in us and through us.

Send us a textEver had a child born in an elevator? Jeremy Greene has, and it's just one of the fascinating stories he shares on this episode of the Quarterback Dadcast. As a father of two young children and the co-founder of Feather, a relationship-focused productivity platform, Jeremy brings a refreshing perspective on balancing entrepreneurship with present parenting. Growing up in a family where his grandfather and father built a successful residential construction business, Jeremy absorbed powerful values that now shape his approach to parenting. "Family is everything at the center," he explains, describing how this foundation has only strengthened since meeting his wife Christina, whose West Indian culture similarly prioritizes family bonds.The conversation takes a dramatic turn when Jeremy recounts his son Cameron's birth – a four-hour labor that culminated with delivery in a hospital elevator with the help of a doctor who happened to be nearby. This story of unexpected challenge mirrors Jeremy's entrepreneurial journey, which began when he recognized the need for better relationship management tools while sending Father's Day messages to fellow dads in his contact list.What makes this episode particularly valuable is Jeremy's honesty about his parenting struggles. He openly discusses his efforts to be more present despite the demands of building a company, sharing practical wisdom like taking ten seconds before entering the home to reset his energy. His three-part advice for fellow fathers – energy management, partner alignment, and giving yourself grace – offers simple yet powerful practices for anyone navigating the complex journey of parenthood.Whether you're an entrepreneur balancing work demands with family life or simply a father looking for inspiration, Jeremy's blend of vulnerability, practical wisdom, and unwavering commitment to family values will leave you with actionable insights for your own parenting journey. Listen now and discover how you can strengthen the quarterback position in your own family huddle.Please don't forget to leave us a review wherever you consume your podcasts!

What happens when the very word "Father" triggers pain instead of comfort? For many, reconciling the image of God as Father with traumatic experiences of earthly fathers creates a profound spiritual struggle.This episode navigates the delicate terrain of father wounds with both gentleness and honesty. We acknowledge that many listeners bring experiences of neglect, absence, abuse, or abandonment to their understanding of God. These wounds can make it nearly impossible to trust that God as Father is fundamentally different from the human fathers who caused harm.Scripture doesn't shy away from questioning God. Job rants for thirteen chapters. David's laments fill the Psalms. Even Jesus cried out, "My God, why have you forsaken me?" The biblical invitation to "reason together" with God (Isaiah 1:18) actually means "argue it out"—God welcomes your wrestling, your questions, and even your anger. If you're limping through life with father wounds, we pray you'll encounter the God who binds up bruises and heals wounds, not with pat answers, but with His loving presence.

Today, we will focus on three verses on parenting from The Message Bible.A refusal to correct is a refusal to love; love your children by disciplining them. (Proverbs 13:24 MSG) God-loyal people, living honest lives, make it much easier for their children. (Proverbs 20:7 MSG) Discipline your children; you'll be glad you did—they'll turn out delightful to live with. (Proverbs 29:17 MSG) Because God was the first Parent, the Bible is clear that discipline is a natural and necessary part of the process. It is important to remember that discipline is not punishment. It is guiding, building into and yes, sometimes correcting them. God says He disciplines us because He loves us. If He did not care, He would not care if we changed either.Regardless of how you were raised, you can look to God to teach you how correct and balanced discipline can benefit both you and your children in a spirit of love and grace.God disciplines us because He loves us. You are His delight and He desires your relationship with Him to become more loyal and more honest each day. You can reflect that same deliberate guiding love to your children as You receive from God.Pray: “Thank You, Father, for discipline and correction. Help me when I get it wrong and help me to see when I get it right. Guide me, balance me, in Your love and grace. As above, so below, Amen.”
Welcome to The Daily, where we study the Bible verse by verse, chapter by chapter, every day. Today's shout-out goes to Calvin Tilman from Valley View, TX. Thank you for standing with us throughout Project 23. You're helping grow faith that's deep, rooted, and bold. This one's for you. Our text today is Mark 11:25: And whenever you stand praying, forgive, if you have anything against anyone, so that your Father also who is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses.” — Mark 11:25 Jesus just finished teaching about bold, mountain-moving prayer. But now he adds a critical detail: forgiveness. Jesus says, “Whenever you stand praying, forgive.” Why? Because unforgiveness short-circuits prayer. You can pray with passion. You can pray with persistence. But if your heart is harboring bitterness, something is blocked. Unforgiveness is a spiritual deadbolt. It locks up your heart, hardens your spirit, and hinders the flow of grace, not just toward others, but also from God to you. Jesus isn't suggesting forgiveness. He's commanding it. He's saying: Don't come into God's presence asking for power while holding onto poison. Prayer isn't just about talking to God—it's also about being shaped by God. And when we pray, one of the clearest signs that God is shaping us is our willingness to forgive. This doesn't mean trust is instantly restored. It doesn't mean consequences disappear. But it does mean releasing others from the debt they owe you, just as God released you. So here's the challenge: Don't just pray for mountains to move—pray for your heart to soften. Because some of the most immovable mountains in your life might be made of unforgiveness that lies in your heart. #ForgiveAndPray, #GraceFirst, #Mark11 ASK THIS: Why does Jesus tie forgiveness to prayer? What happens spiritually when we refuse to forgive? Is there someone you're still holding a grudge against? What would it look like to forgive them as God forgave you? DO THIS: Who is the person you need to forgive today, before I ask God for anything else? PRAY THIS: Father, help me forgive others the way you've forgiven me. I don't want to carry bitterness—I want to walk in the freedom of grace. Amen. PLAY THIS: “Forgiveness” by Matthew West.

Daily Dose of Hope July 17, 2025 Scripture – Matthew 26:17-46 Prayer: Almighty Father, You always know what is best for us. Thank you for that. We are sorry for the ways that we resist. Help us to want what you want for us. Help us to want to be patient, to want to be kind, to want to be obedient. Conform our will, Lord, In Your Name, Amen. Welcome back to the Daily Dose of Hope, a deep dive into the Gospels and Acts. Today, we are looking at part two of three parts in Matthew 26. This is a chapter with lots of substance! Today's passage includes what we would describe as “The Lord's Supper.” These are many of the words we say when we share Holy Communion together as a church. Let's dig into this text. Jesus has prepared for the disciples to celebrate Passover together. All the necessary arrangements have been made. The fact that Jesus is celebrating with his disciples and not his biological family is significant. It shows his solidarity with these men. But Jesus knows the solidarity won't last forever. He prepares this group for one of them to betray him. None of them believe that they would actually do it. “You don't mean me, do you?” they all ask, even Judas. I wonder what Judas is thinking at that moment. We know he has already betrayed Jesus. He is a liar and a backstabber and he must have convinced himself that it was the right thing to do. How often do we convince ourselves that sin is okay, that it is justified? Passover, or the Festival of Unleavened Bread, is one of the most important Jewish celebrations. It celebrates the Hebrew victory over Egyptian tyranny. The Jews were freed from slavery under Pharoah. At the time, there would have been the additional sub-text of deliverance from Roman oppression as well. Jesus takes the Passover meal and redefines it for his followers. Jesus takes the bread and identifies it as his body. Obviously, it wasn't his literal body, as Jesus was speaker of the statement. But it represents something very substantial. Jesus is about to be crucified by the Romans, at the hands of the Jewish leaders. In doing so, he will be the final sacrifice for sin for all time. He then takes the cup and declares that the wine is His blood of the new covenant, poured out for the forgiveness sins of the world. Jesus is ushering in the New Covenant. He is the New Covenant. The Old Covenant is being fulfilled by Jesus' life, death, and resurrection. Can you imagine how confused the disciples are when he says this? This isn't the typical liturgy of the Passover. What is Jesus saying about his body and blood? Remember, while Jesus has warned them of his upcoming death, they still don't quite believe it or understand it. Let's talk about Holy Communion for just a moment. In the Lord's Supper, the faith community, current day followers, come together to experience the grace of Jesus Christ on a regular basis. There are some traditions that read the words in Matthew 26 and believe in transubstantiation, meaning that the bread and wine actually become the body and blood of Jesus. We don't believe that in Methodism. However, we do believe that the Holy Spirit is present and at work as we receive communion. It is not just an act of remembrance, but truly a means of grace in which we are able to experience Jesus in a way that is real but also somewhat mysterious. It is a tangible way to experience an inward grace. Methodists (of all streams) believe that in Communion, the Holy Spirit brings Christ to us, expressing the grace and love of God toward us through the means of bread and wine. In fact, John Wesley described communion as “the grand channel whereby the grace of his Spirit was conveyed to the souls of the children of God.” Through the Lord's Supper, we can expect to experience Jesus' love, forgiveness, healing, holiness, presence, and even a foretaste of heaven. Because of this, Wesley encouraged Methodists to experience Holy Communion weekly if not more, as it provides “nourishment for the soul.” One of the beautiful things about our theology is that we have an open table. Wesley viewed Holy Communion as “a converting ordinance,” through which the Spirit can lead an individual to faith in Jesus Christ. Because of our emphasis on prevenient grace, we trust that God has already been at work in the life of each person, continuously wooing them closer to Christ. Thus, in the Lord's Supper, you don't have to be a member of any church but simply respond to Christ's invitation-he invites those who love him, who seek him, and who repent of their sins. For those who have not yet received salvation, we believe that the Holy Spirit can work through the act of communion to transform their heart in such a way they are ready to say yes to Jesus. In this sense, Holy Communion can be an act of justifying grace. For those who are already in the community of faith, Holy Communion tends to be an act of sanctifying grace, as it nurtures believers, points them back toward grace, and helps them grow and move forward in their faith journey. Our reading for today also has Jesus predicting Peter's denial. I have always found this so fascinating. Peter was convinced that he would never turn his back on Jesus. He says that he will die before renouncing Jesus. And it is only a few short hours later that Peter denies Jesus not once, not twice, but three times. How quickly can sin and temptation enter our hearts and minds! When push came to shove, Peter let fear take over. As we discussed in Mark, it's wonderful to see how fearful, self-protecting Peter becomes bold, confident Peter after the coming of the Holy Spirit. On our own, we will falter. With the power of God in us, we can change and do hard things. Lastly, the poor disciples cannot stay awake. They've had a lot of wine and food at the Passover meal. Jesus has them praying and they just can't keep their eyes open. The Spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak. It's also here that Jesus submits himself to the Father. The human part of him would like the whole ordeal to not happen. But he knows that it must. It will be the most important event in the history of the world. Nothing will ever be as significant. The course of human history is about to change. Blessings, Pastor Vicki
Thursday, 17 July 2025 Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. Matthew 11:29 “Lift My yoke upon you, and you learn from Me, for benignant I am, and lowly of heart, and you will find rest – your souls” (CG). In the previous verse, Jesus said to those around Him, “You come to Me, all those laboring and having been encumbered, and I, I will give rest to you.” He now continues His words, beautifully calling His people to Himself, beginning with, “Lift My yoke upon you.” The word zugos, a yoke or a pair of scales, is introduced. The word is derived from the root of zeugnumi, to join. This joining is usually by a yoke. Thus, it speaks of a coupling. Figuratively, it is applied to servitude, such as by law. This is just how both Peter and Paul will later use it – Peter: “Now therefore, why do you test God by putting a yoke on the neck of the disciples which neither our fathers nor we were able to bear? 11 But we believe that through the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ we shall be saved in the same manner as they.” Acts 15:10, 11 Paul: “Stand fast therefore in the liberty by which Christ has made us free, and do not be entangled again with a yoke of bondage. 2 Indeed I, Paul, say to you that if you become circumcised, Christ will profit you nothing.” Galatians 5:1, 2 Jesus is using the same figurative language. He is telling those who will hear that what He offers is available. By saying this, He is conveying the thought, “All people are slaves to something. I offer you my yoke, which is far preferable to the one you now bear.” In coming under Jesus' yoke, He next says, “and you learn from Me, for benignant I am.” It is the same word used in Matthew 5:5 where Jesus said – “Blessed – the benignant, For they – they will inherit the land.” The word gives the sense of being mild or humble. Added to that, He continues with, “and lowly of heart.” Here, the word tapeinos, lowly, is introduced. It signifies depressed, as in (figuratively) humiliated. This could be in circumstances or in disposition. Jesus is indicating that because of His gentle and lowly disposition, the yoke that He offers will be similar in its effect upon those who accept it. Because of this, He provides a sure promise to those who accept it, saying, “and you will find rest – your souls.” Another new word, anapausis, is provided. It is a noun signifying intermission. By implication, it gives a sense of recreation or rest. It is the noun form of the verb just introduced in the previous verse. Jesus is saying that in taking on His yoke, something normally associated with work, toil, and physical effort, a person will instead receive rest for their souls. The thoughts, seemingly contradictory, are expressed based on His position as the Messiah. He indicated in the previous verses that in knowing Him, one would then know the Father. Jesus was sent on a mission, specifically to fulfill the law that stood opposed to the people. This law, as indicated above by both Peter and Paul, is a yoke of bondage. One must work in order to be pleasing to God under the law. But because of sin, the works remain unacceptable. However, Jesus had no sin. He lived life under the law perfectly. He is indicating, even before His completion of the law, that He would accomplish all that is necessary for the law to be fulfilled. In doing this, what He will offer is not a yoke of bondage, but one of humility. His subjugation under the law will lead to His exaltation. His labors will be complete, and He offers the fruit of His labors to all who will believe. Life application: Applying these words of Jesus to those in the church does not violate the dispensational model. He is referring to an action which is future to the point in time at which He states it. As such, it is an action that is open to all when that point is met. Jesus was in the process of fulfilling the law. If He had failed to do so, the words of this verse would be nullified. Of course, He would not fail, and He did not fail. It was a given that He would prevail. As such, He could rightly proclaim these words, offering Himself as the provider of rest even before He had finished His labors. In the completion of His efforts, what He accomplished is now available to any and all who will accept the premise. Though spoken to Israel while under the law, they are words anticipating the ending of the law and the granting of rest. Therefore, they reflect an ongoing offer to any and all who will accept His yoke. This is the point of the words of Peter and Paul. They are telling the people of the world that law observance is not the way to please God, except as it was observed by Jesus. In coming to Christ, our yoke is that of “law fulfilled” not “law to be fulfilled.” Thank God for His tender mercies in sending Jesus to make this our happy state of servitude. Lord God, thank You that the yoke we take upon ourselves through Christ Jesus is one of being Your bondservant under His fulfillment of the law and the paying of humanity's sin-debt. We no longer have to bear the burden of sin. Instead, we can be free in the Lord to serve You in a state of rest, refreshment, and eternal joy. Hooray for Jesus! Amen.
“I am the good shepherd; I know my sheep and my sheep know me. . . .” — John 10:14 When Jesus, the Son of God, came to live and teach among us, he picked up on the imagery of Psalm 23 and told all who would hear, “I am the good shepherd.” Jesus came to us as the Lord God in the flesh, declaring that he was there to shepherd God's people and lead them home to the Father. He moved into our world, our neighborhood, and reminded everyone of what the Lord our shepherd had been doing all along: guiding us, pursuing us, and calling us back to him. The Lord's sheep began to recognize God in his Son and to follow him. Jesus made a strong connection to the work that his Father had already been doing, highlighting that his close relationship with the Father informed how he would save, guard, and protect the Lord's sheep. When we read the accounts of Jesus' life and ministry in the Bible, we see Jesus gathering his flock, walking among God's people, and getting to know them. He teaches them and models what it looks like to do the will of his Father so that they can live God's way as well. Like the shepherd in Psalm 23, he lives among God's sheep and leads them to the one thing they need: a renewed relationship with the Lord, who calls them to live in abundance and full life forever with him. In what ways have you found that the good shepherd knows you? Lord Jesus, thank you for showing us God's love and how to live for him. May we hear your voice in your Word and by your Spirit. Amen.

“I'm a great dad… so why am I still losing it with my son?” In this powerful conversation, we unpack a question every high-performing man quietly wrestles with: Why do we keep repeating patterns we know aren't serving us — as husbands, fathers, or leaders? This week I sat down with Dr. Bob Beare, PhD — licensed therapist, recovery leader, and founder of Deep Waters Recovery and The Creative Life Institute. Bob has spent over two decades helping men confront the emotional wounds they've spent a lifetime avoiding — trauma, shame, addiction, grief — and guiding them toward healing that actually lasts. Together we explore: Why your biggest parenting blowups have nothing to do with your kid How “doing the right thing” as a child can create a lifetime of pressure The dark side of positivity (and how it blocks real healing) How spiritual bypassing shows up in fatherhood and leadership Why healing your nervous system is the best thing you can do for your child How men can access deep emotional release without abandoning strength This isn't theory. It's two men telling the truth. About childhood wounds. Emotional reactivity. Shame. And what it looks like to repair with the people you love most

At that time Jesus exclaimed:"I give praise to you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth,for although you have hidden these thingsfrom the wise and the learnedyou have revealed them to the childlike.Yes, Father, such has been your gracious will.All things have been handed over to me by my Father.No one knows the Son except the Father,and no one knows the Father except the Sonand anyone to whom the Son wishes to reveal him."
Healing is part of the salvation that we have received in Christ. It is not something that we need to get from our Father. So why is it not being manifest in my life? What is the hindrance?
We're invited to reconsider how entertainment shapes our hearts—moving from distraction to deeper connection with God. In Luke 15, the Father's joy reminds us that God delights in our delight when it draws us closer to Him. Spirit-led leisure becomes a way to grow in love, joy, and lasting peace.
Dad jokes, grace in the desert, and a bible study. This week, our newly ordained priest, Father Nico Stellpflug joins Taylor and Father Mark to share how the Lord moved him closer to His heart and helped him to say, "yes" to the vocation of the priesthood.
In today's episode, Jesus continues conversing with the self-righteous Pharisees about his identity. He has told that them that he is the light of the world and has claimed that the Father has sent him. Some of those present believe in him, and today, he tells them that if they trust in him the truth will set them free. Confused, they press Jesus for answers, saying that their father is Abraham and they aren't enslaved. Jesus responds by saying that their father is not Abraham, but the devil. That doesn't go well, and they accuse him of having a demon. Jesus concludes by making a bold claim of divinity , saying that “…before Abraham was, I AM.” :::Christian Standard Bible translation.All music written and produced by John Burgess Ross.Co-produced by the Christian Standard Biblefacebook.com/commuterbibleinstagram.com/commuter_bibletwitter.com/CommuterPodpatreon.com/commuterbibleadmin@commuterbible.org

When Steven's dad, Allen, disappeared, he left behind more than his children-he left a legacy of loss and family secrets. Though working just miles away, Allen gave up his kids for adoption. He was soon replaced by another man, one with his own four children, whose strict rules and explosive temper made home a place of fear rather than refuge. Steven spent decades wrestling with the wounds of abandonment and abuse, burying his pain so deep it became "the feeling of no feeling." A forced move to Florida, a brutal fist fight, and a grisly car crash pushed Steven to life's edge resulting in a move to Israel, where he discovered that "self-help" meant he would die a failure unless he learned to help himself. Pretend They Are Dead: A Father's Search for the Truth (Christmas Lake Press, 2025) is a gripping memoir of survival, trauma, and resilience-told with raw honesty, filmic detail, and defiant humor. Steven grew up rejected: Two men claimed to be his father but neither proved to be a dad. Determined not to repeat the past, he become an unwavering presence in the lives of his own five children. His story will both shock and inspire. Learn more about your ad choices.

The Unlikely Missionary #RTTBROS #Nightlight The Unlikely Missionary God:uses ordinary people"But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty." (1 Corinthians 1:27William Carey was just a shoemaker. He had little education, came from a poor family, and worked with his hands for a living. But he had a heart for the lost and a desire to take the gospel to places where it had never been heard.When Carey shared his burden for missions with his fellow ministers, one of them famously said, "Young man, sit down. When God pleases to convert the heathen, He will do it without your aid or mine." But Carey wouldn't sit down. He kept studying, kept praying, and kept preparing.In 1793, Carey sailed for India where he would spend the next 41 years without ever returning home. He translated the Bible into Bengali, Sanskrit, and parts of 35 other languages. He started schools, fought against the practice of widow burning, and saw thousands come to Christ. He became known as the "Father of Modern Missions."But it all started with a shoemaker who believed God could use him.I love Carey's story because it reminds me that God doesn't call the equipped, He equips the called. He doesn't look for the smartest, the most talented, or the most educated. He looks for the willing.Think about it: God used a shepherd boy named David to defeat a giant. He used a teenage girl named Mary to bring the Savior into the world. He used fishermen to become apostles. He used a former persecutor of the church named Paul to become the greatest missionary who ever lived.And He wants to use you too, right where you are, with whatever skills and abilities you have.Carey's motto was "Expect great things from God, attempt great things for God." He expected God to work through an ordinary shoemaker, and God did extraordinary things.What's God calling you to attempt for Him? What burden has He placed on your heart? What need have you seen that you keep thinking someone should do something about?Maybe that someone is you. Maybe God wants to use your ordinary life to do something extraordinary for His kingdom. Don't disqualify yourself because you feel unworthy or unqualified. God specializes in using unlikely people to do impossible things.After all, history is just HIS story, and He's looking for ordinary people who are willing to let Him write their chapter.Be sure to Like, Share, Follow and subscribe it helps get the word out.https://linktr.ee/rttbros
Wednesday, 16 July 2025 Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Matthew 11:28 “You come to Me, all those laboring and having been encumbered, and I, I will give rest to you” (CG). In the previous verse, Jesus spoke of the intimate connection of knowing the Father and the Son, and that knowing the Father can only come through the Son's revelation of Him. Next, Jesus speaks some of the most comforting words found in all of Scripture, beginning with, “You come to Me.” As noted, He just spoke of the Father/Son relationship. He is now building on that thought, not stating something disconnected from it. It is the hope of the human soul to be reconciled to God, to know that He hears and will respond to our prayers, and to feel assured that the relationship between the two is sound. Even people who deny this know deep inside that it is true. When the greatest crises of life arrive, we utter prayers and ask God for relief. We want Him to favor our steps and bless our efforts. It is instilled in us, and such knowledge must be suppressed. Jesus is essentially saying, “If you want the favor of the Father, come to Me.” He next defines who He is referring to, saying, “all those laboring and having been encumbered.” The first word, kopiaó, was already seen in Matthew 6:28. It signifies to labor, toil, be wearied, etc. The second word, phortizó, translated as encumbered, is new. It signifies to load up, as in a vessel or on an animal. Figuratively, it gives the sense of overburdening. A single word that fits this thought is “encumbered.” The words speak of those who are working to please God, feeling the weight and burden of both the law and their sin, which is imputed from violating the law. Add in the doctrines of the leaders of Israel, and the weight upon the people's souls would have been a heavy burden. And yet, in their attempts to be pleasing through their efforts, they only felt more disconnected from God. This is the problem with law. It seizes the moment and traps us, just as it did with our first father. Paul carefully and precisely details this in Romans. The weight and burden of the law could never provide rest to the people. On the other hand, Jesus emphatically declares, “and I, I will give rest to you.” Here is a new verb, anapauó. It signifies completing a process. The thought is that of giving or experiencing rest after a needed task is complete. One can think of finishing a job and stopping for refreshment. What is one of the main purposes of the plan of redemption? It is to return man to the state of rest that existed at the beginning – “Thus the heavens and the earth, and all the host of them, were finished. 2 And on the seventh day God ended His work which He had done, and He rested on the seventh day from all His work which He had done. 3 Then God blessed the seventh day and sanctified it, because in it He rested from all His work which God had created and made.” Genesis 2:1-3 This is why Jesus spoke of the Father/Son relationship before speaking of the granting of rest. The word used by Jesus here is not the same as a Sabbath rest, but it would be what one does on a Sabbath rest. There is the week of toil followed by the Sabbath. The rest that occurs on that day would be the refreshing effect that is realized. God rested from His labors. That state of rest was set forth for man to eternally enjoy His Creator in a harmonious relationship. But that relationship was disrupted through sin. Sin came by a violation of law. Adding more law to man only increased the knowledge and imputation of sin. Jesus, without yet explaining how He would do it, asks those around Him to trust Him. The rest that was lost would be restored through Him. To make that happen, Jesus said this in John's gospel – “But Jesus answered them, ‘My Father has been working until now, and I have been working.'” John 5:17 “But I have a greater witness than John's; for the works which the Father has given Me to finish—the very works that I do—bear witness of Me, that the Father has sent Me.” John 5:36 The Father is working through the Son to effect the redemption of man. Jesus is the One who offers and grants God's rest to His people. As it says in Hebrews 4:3, “For we who have believed do enter that rest...” Life application: Jesus has promised rest, the rest offered by the Father through Him, to His people. How would this come about? What works can we do to be right with God? Paul says in Romans 7 – “What shall we say then? Is the law sin? Certainly not! On the contrary, I would not have known sin except through the law. For I would not have known covetousness unless the law had said, ‘You shall not covet.' 8 But sin, taking opportunity by the commandment, produced in me all manner of evil desire. For apart from the law sin was dead. 9 I was alive once without the law, but when the commandment came, sin revived and I died. 10 And the commandment, which was to bring life, I found to bring death. 11 For sin, taking occasion by the commandment, deceived me, and by it killed me. 12 Therefore the law is holy, and the commandment holy and just and good.” Romans 7:7-12 The law only exacerbates man's problems. When there is no law, there is no imputation for wrongdoing. But when a law is introduced, violating that law brings about guilt. This is why Jesus came. He was born under the law to fulfill it for those who could never do so. In His fulfillment of the law, He now imparts His righteousness to those who trust Him and His accomplishments. In believing this good news, a person moves from law to grace. There is no longer the imputation of sin because that person is no longer under law. This is what Jesus is telling the people. He is the offering of God for release from the burden and toiling that man faces. He is the One to grant God's rest. Through Him, harmony between the Creator and His creatures is restored. “This is the work of God, that you believe in Him whom He sent.” John 6:29 Lord God, thank You for the giving of Your Son for our transgressions. He has lifted our burden! He has restored us to You! In Him, we have found Your promised rest. Thank You, O God, for Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
In examining the question, "What is Prayer?" We accidentally learn why we pray. Even though no Biblical person asks why we pray? Their lives reveal our anguished need for prayer. We are sinners. Until glory, we struggle with sin. Prayer is the act of faith that assures our soul.We are complex lonely beings, and prayer brings us into the arms of our heavenly Father, who knows us, holds us, and comforts us.Some of my favorite prayers:Hannah, 1 Samuel 1.Fathers calling out for their children, Mark 9, Matthew 9, Luke 7.A roofing job, Mark 2Psalm 39, Psalm 42The woman who touched Jesus' robe, Luke 8.Scriptures referenced:Luke 18:1Proverbs 15:8Psalm 42:12 Corinthians 5:17 & Ezekiel 11:19John 17:3 (of course)Hebrews 11:1&6Matthew 11:28-30Romans 8:14-15Romans 8:26-281 Corinthians 12:11-12Hebrews 4:16, 7:25, 4:12-13 The TARDIS even makes an appearance as we learn:Psalm 62:8 Trust in Him at all times, O people; Pour out your heart before Him; God is a refuge for us.
