Podcasts about Resurrection

Read OnlineThen the mother of the sons of Zebedee approached Jesus with her sons and did him homage, wishing to ask him for something. He said to her, “What do you wish?” She answered him, “Command that these two sons of mine sit, one at your right and the other at your left, in your kingdom.” Matthew 20:20–21What a bold move by the mother of the sons of Zebedee! A common misconception at that time was that the Messiah would usher in a new political and earthly kingdom and those who held positions of power in this kingdom would bask in earthly glory. However, Jesus' mission as the Messiah was to establish a far superior Kingdom through His Passion and Resurrection. These two disciples, along with their mother, did not yet understand this.Just before this passage, Jesus took the Twelve aside and prophesied His Passion and Resurrection: “...the Son of Man will be handed over… they will condemn him to death… be mocked and scourged and crucified, and he will be raised on the third day.” This is the third time in Matthew's Gospel that Jesus predicts His Passion. It's surprising that, immediately after this prophecy, the mother of the sons of Zebedee asks Jesus to give her two sons the most prominent positions in His Kingdom. Jesus initially responds, “You do not know what you are asking.”In many ways, Jesus says the same to us. When we pray and seek to grow closer to God, we don't always understand what we are truly asking for. Like these two disciples and their mother, we might think that growing in holiness means God will protect us from all illnesses, difficulties, crosses, and problems—replacing them with consolations, a comfortable life, family unity, success at work, notoriety, and even wealth. But that's not the Gospel. The Gospel always points us to the Cross, while promising God's grace to carry it, not avoid it.As Jesus said to these two disciples, He also says to us when we pray for greater holiness: “Can you drink the chalice that I am going to drink?” In other words, the path to holiness is the Cross. It's the only way. Jesus tells us this in many ways, just as He told His disciples three times. They did not understand or chose not to believe what He was saying. The same is true for us. When we seek holiness, our Lord tells us that we must be willing to be “handed over,” “condemned,” “mocked and scourged and crucified,” so that, with Jesus, we can be raised up. Each person's path to the Cross will be unique, but we all must accept it if we want to share in Christ's Kingdom. It is the only way.Reflect today on Jesus looking at you with love and asking, “Can you drink the chalice that I am going to drink?” Try to understand what that means. What does the Cross look like in your life? Often, when we encounter crosses, we flee from them, presuming they are bad, and even pray for them to go away. Yet our Lord lovingly tells us to carry that cross with His strength, peace, and joy. That is the only way to authentic holiness and the only way to true greatness in the Kingdom of God. Do not fear Christ's Cross. It is the answer to all you long for in life.My gentle Lord, like Your disciples, I often want my crosses removed from my life rather than carry them with the aid of Your grace. I desire to drink from the Sacred Chalice of Your Passion so that I may share in Your Resurrection and glory. Give me courage when I encounter the crosses You wish me to carry and the wisdom to discern Your path to glory. Jesus, I trust in You.Image: Christ meeting the wife and the sons of Zebedee by Paolo VeroneseSource: Free RSS feed from catholic-daily-reflections.com — Copyright © 2026 My Catholic Life! Inc.

A popular myth is that when the Roman Emperor Constantine converted to Christianity, he forced everyone else to embrace the faith - or else face deadly consequences.But this couldn't be further from the truth.It was under Constantine that the very modern-sounding ideas of freedom of religion and “justice for all” were first instituted.These were revolutionary ideals, and they came from a very smart, learned Christian in the Emperor's inner circle.FOR FULL SHOW NOTES - https://undeceptions.com/podcast/against-coercion/(00:00) - - One of history's great persuaders (07:50) - - Persecution and the Crisis of the Third Century (11:25) - - Christianity and Neoplatonism (19:17) - - Lactantius: The Christian Cicero (32:34) - - Lactantius and Constantine (40:50) - - Constantine and religious tolerance (49:30) - - Arguing Christian ethics from pagan philosophy (53:05) - - Freedom of religion and Thomas Jefferson (57:48) - - Lactantius and justice (01:09:09) - - Five Minute Jesus (01:13:38) - - Lactantius' legacy CREDITSUndeceptions is hosted by John Dickson, produced by Kaley Payne and directed by Mark Hadley. Alasdair Belling is a writer-researcher.Siobhan McGuiness is our online librarian. Lyndie Leviston remains John's wonderful assistant.  Santino Dimarco is Chief Finance and Operations Consultant. Peter Kozushko is our North American representative and a point of contact for church pastors interested in engaging with our work here at Undeceptions.  Editing by Richard Hamwi.Our voice actors today were Yannick Lawry and Dakotah Love. Special thanks to our series sponsor Zondervan for making this Undeception possible. Undeceptions is the flagship podcast of Undeceptions.com - letting the truth out.

Almost everyone has an opinion on who Jesus is. Some say he was a brilliant teacher, a great prophet, or an ethical role model. The only problem with these ideas is that Jesus never claimed to be any of those things; instead, he insisted - repeatedly - that he is God. Few people accepted his bold claim - that he was the one true God in flesh - was offensive, and some accepted it, while others turned back and no longer followed him. (John 6:66) All month long in February, The Story Church will explore the audacious claims that Jesus made about himself in His own words. These controversial statements will leave us with two choices: to take him at his word and accept he is God, or to reject his divine identity and dismiss him as a fraud.

The hope of the resurrection radically changed the way Paul lived. His life counted. His suffering was meaningful.

Series: OtherService: You Are From GodType: You Are From GodSpeaker: Scott Taylor & Tyler HallIn this week's episode we discuss the heavy moments of Jesus' death and resurrection. In Mark 15 & 16 we run into a wide range of responses to the man that Jesus was and is. Many ridicule him and mock him, some simply do not understand the weight of what is happening, and others are compelled to honor him. While reading these passages we feel the weight of our sin, but also the love that Jesus has for us that caused him to remain on the cross. We get to decide how we respond to that love because Jesus showed…

Paul has been given the floor — and he knows exactly what to do with it. Standing before King Agrippa, military tribunes, and the leading men of Caesarea, he doesn't just defend his actions. He defends his faith. Dr. John walks us through the opening of Paul's remarkable speech and lands on the question at the heart of it all: why is it so hard to believe that God raises the dead?Jesus Goes Global: A Prisoner of Christ: When we read the book of Acts, we tend to give primary attention to the formation and growth of the Church in the early chapters. We then highlight the three mission trips of Paul. But some of the most profound lessons lie in the final chapters of Acts 25-28. Dr. John will show God extending His Kingdom through the personal struggle and imprisonment of Paul. The world's worst cannot impede God's best.

Give Attention to Reading | John 1-2

In Matthew 3:13–17, Jesus goes down into the Jordan—but He doesn't stay down. He comes up out of the water, the heavens open, the Spirit descends, and the Father declares, “This is my beloved Son.” This moment reveals: ✨ The heart of the Father toward His children

Because what's coming is actually beyond imagining.

Growing In God Podcast Program Number: GIG #290 Title: Purim—Anticipating Instant Change   Web Description: We can look at what is happening in the world today and feel like darkness is taking over; everything is getting worse and nothing is going to change. But the Scriptures give us a different picture. The Scriptures show us that things can change in an instant, and the story of Esther is a prime example of that. As we celebrate the Feast of Purim this year, let us anticipate that when we come before the King in our intercession, He will reverse the plot of destruction against God's people and turn our mourning into rejoicing.   Show Notes: The book of Esther records that the Jews established the Feast of Purim "for themselves and for their descendants and for all those who allied themselves with them." It was established so that all generations will remember how the annihilation that was determined and already set in motion was suddenly reversed. In an instant their mourning, sorrow, and fear of destruction were changed into a celebration of gladness and a holiday of feasting and rejoicing.   The Feast of Purim therefore is a celebration of instant change. When we celebrate it, we remember that no matter how bleak things are, everything can change in a moment. What could be bleaker than the plot for complete annihilation of the Jews in the time of Esther? Yet the reversal of that plot has been passed down to us as a remembrance that if we enter the presence of the King and bring our need to His attention, He will command the change and by His Word the destruction that is set to transpire will not happen.   As we see today with Hamas and Israel, satan is still set to destroy Israel and the Jewish people. And as we approach the time of the end, we are seeing satan's plot against the whole earth expand from the Jewish people into all humanity in his determination to destroy all flesh. But we also know by Purim and by the examples of the Scriptures that the plan of destruction can be completely reversed in a moment. So we do not let our hope be tainted by the negativity that surrounds us. We celebrate Purim this year with our hope renewed; and that hope is for instant change.   Key Verses:   •       Isaiah 60:1–3. "Darkness will cover the earth and deep darkness the peoples; but the LORD will rise upon you." •       Esther 9:20–22. "It was … turned for them from sorrow into gladness and from mourning into a holiday." •       Mark 13:19–20. "Unless the Lord had shortened those days, no life would have been saved." •       Esther 9:23–25. "When it came to the king's attention, he commanded." •       Esther 9:26–28. "The Jews … made a custom for themselves and for their descendants and for all those who allied themselves with them." •       Isaiah 29:5–7. "It will happen instantly, suddenly." •       Isaiah 17:12–14. "At evening time, behold, there is terror! Before morning they are no more."   Quotes:   •       "You can look and say, 'How can this ever change? How can things ever really be restored to the Kingdom of God from the direction that they're going? How could good come out of such evil?' But we must know and understand that it can, and it will." •       "We celebrate before we see. We have a time of celebration as an expression not only of our faith, but our knowing that God can bring about deliverance and change and bring about another purpose and will." •       "This feast was consecrated by Mordecai for us as those who are allies with the Jewish people and with Israel. And so I proudly celebrate Purim, and I am thankful for my inclusion in its celebration."   Takeaways:   1.    Purim is an example of deliverance, repeated many times in the Scriptures, that things can change 180 degrees in just one moment. 2.    We as believers must live in the knowledge and faith that at any second God can move and everything can change. We cannot be tainted by the oppression of this age. 3.    We must never lose the reality in God that in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, everything can be different.   Scriptural Examples of Instant Change:   Purim. Read the book of Esther. Passover. Read Exodus 12 The Famine in Samaria. Read 2 Kings 7 The Resurrection. Read John 19:30—John 20:29   Resources:   Help Israel Now | Interviews From Israel

In this episode of The Backstory on the Shroud of Turin, host Guy Powell interviews evangelical apologist and theologian William Red. The two dive deep into Jewish burial customs from the first century and how these practices offer compelling support for the authenticity of the Shroud of Turin.Red details how key figures like Nicodemus and Joseph of Arimathea honored Jesus Christ with kingly burial rites 75 pounds of burial spices and fine linen, just as one would expect for a royal entombment.The conversation doesn't stop at tradition. Red explores modern science and its contributions to the Shroud's authenticity, utilizing odds calculus and Bayesian probability to determine the likelihood of forgery.By considering over 30 lines of evidence, including blood chemistry and textile analysis, Red concludes that the probability of forgery is astronomically low.Whether you're grounded in faith or in data, this conversation challenges your perspective on the most famous burial cloth in history.

Read OnlineWhile still more people gathered in the crowd, Jesus said to them, “This generation is an evil generation; it seeks a sign, but no sign will be given it, except the sign of Jonah.” Luke 11:29Today's Gospel takes place during the midpoint of Jesus' public ministry. By this time, He had healed the sick, cast out demons, raised the dead, preached many powerful sermons, and changed many hearts. Despite that, many in the crowds did not believe in Him and demanded more signs.Additionally, the Pharisees were becoming increasingly hostile toward our Lord. In Luke's Gospel, they confront and criticize Jesus several times before this passage. In today's Gospel, Jesus addresses His rebuke to these Pharisees and the unbelieving crowds.If Jesus' generation was “an evil generation,” what would He say about our own? In many ways, we are becoming a global culture. While there are countless faithful followers of Christ worldwide, evil seems to be more pervasive today, perhaps more noticeable due to the ease of worldwide communication.Though Jesus delivered His sermons to specific people in His time, His words transcend time and are meant for every generation. When He says, “This generation is an evil generation…,” we must understand that He is also speaking to us today.When Jesus says His generation “seeks a sign,” He points out a common human temptation. Many approach the Gospel skeptically, demanding irrefutable proof that they should change their lives, believe in the Good News, and abandon sin. In today's world, some even glorify sin, treating virtue as outdated or foolish. This distorted outlook leads many to disregard the most important sign of all—Jesus' Death and Resurrection.Yet Jesus is clear: “…no sign will be given it, except the sign of Jonah.” Jonah's three days in the belly of the fish prefigured Jesus' three days in the tomb. In other words, Jesus' Death and Resurrection is the one and only sign given to us. This is striking because so many fail to pay attention to this ultimate sign of salvation. In the end, we can only change ourselves and hope that our conversion becomes a witness to others.Do you believe in this sign? Do you believe that Jesus' Life, Death, and Resurrection is the sole path to salvation? Most likely, you do. But how deep is that belief?Though Jesus performed many miracles during His earthly ministry, He did so as a response to the faith already present in those around Him. Today, the same is true. Physical miracles mean little compared to the saving Passion, Death, and Resurrection of Christ. They are merely reflections of the greatest miracle—eternal salvation. If you truly want to witness a miracle, turn to this supreme gift of grace and mercy. Believe with all your heart, and you will witness the transformation of your soul, which is the greatest miracle of all. Reflect today on Jesus' rebuke of the evil surrounding us, which demands proof but refuses to see the one sign that truly matters. The only proof Jesus offers is the grace that transforms us. When we discover and embrace this grace, we will know, believe, and be changed. Open your heart to the miracle of conversion that God desires to bestow upon you, and become a witness of Christ's greatest miracle for others to see. My miraculous Lord, though many in every age seek superficial signs, You offer the one true miracle that brings salvation—Your Life, Death, and Resurrection. Please help me to believe with unwavering faith, and protect me from the evil of this generation. Transform my heart so that I may be the fruit of the miracle You wish to give to the world.

Is the modern "resurrection" of Christian ideology a spiritual awakening—or a manufactured tool for a new forever war?On this episode, we examine why the American public is being bombarded with specific talking points regarding “White-Christian, Western philosophy.” From Michael Moore's claims about the greatest threats to Israel to Newsmax's attempt to tether the very idea of civilization to a single religious identity, a political push for war with Iran is rewriting history in real-time. But beyond the politics lies a deeper, ancient truth. Much of the confusion is a result of literalisms, interpreting the symbolic stories as real. The powerful and knowing all-seeing eye is also the "I AM" and it currently blinded by calls for war and bigotry. *The is the FREE archive, which includes advertisements.

John and Chino examine the immediate aftermath of Hobart Freeman's death and the moment Faith Assembly was forced to confront its most dangerous doctrine. Drawing from sermons, eyewitness accounts, and newspaper reporting, they reconstruct the night Freeman died, the unexplained delay in reporting his death, and the theological crisis that followed. The discussion exposes how absolute divine-healing claims, resurrection teaching, and leadership silence collided with reality. By tracing what leaders said, what members believed, and what was withheld, this episode explores how high-control religious systems respond when prophecy and doctrine fail at the very top. ______________________ Weaponized Religion: From Christian Identity to the NAR: Paperback: https://www.amazon.com/dp/1735160962  Kindle: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DCGGZX3K  ______________________ - Support the channel: https://www.patreon.com/branham  - Visit the website: https://william-branham.org

What did Jesus mean when He said the only sign He would give was the “sign of Jonah”—three days and three nights in the grave? In this episode, guest Barney Rehm carefully examines the Gospel accounts, the Passover timeline, and the meaning of the “high day” Sabbath to uncover details many overlook. As the scriptures are compared step by step, questions emerge about how tradition and biblical timing align. You may be surprised at what the Bible actually says—and inspired to look deeper for yourself.

There is nothing that the power of the resurrection cannot redeem in your life. - Fr. Shawn Monahan   Summary What do we do with the wounds we carry, especially in marriage? In this powerful episode, Fr. Shawn Monahan shares a trauma-informed vision of spirituality that meets us in our real stories. We're all wounded, some more deeply than others, and healing begins with honest self-knowledge, self-acceptance, and inviting Christ into our pain.  Fr. Shawn explains how our desires are shaped for good, how sin is seeking that good in the wrong ways, and why shame keeps us stuck. Christianity isn't behavior management. It's transformation through relationship.  You'll also hear practical wisdom for forgiveness, vulnerability, and praying with your spouse. If you're longing for renewal and lasting peace, this conversation offers real hope. Check out his free workshop, "The Path to Healing Our Broken Hearts."  Link below!   Key Takeaways We need a trauma-informed spirituality. Everyone carries wounds. Some are deeper than others. The Church must recognize this reality and respond with compassion, emotional awareness, and an understanding of how early experiences shape us. Healing begins with self-knowledge and self-acceptance. By becoming aware of our reactions and emotions, we grow in self-understanding. This allows us to accept ourselves and become a true gift to others. Desire is good, but it can be distorted. God gives good spiritual desires, and our human desires are also good. Sin happens when we pursue those good desires in the wrong ways. Shame blocks healing, but Christ redeems wounds. Christianity is about transformation through relationship, not behavior management. Nothing is beyond the power of the Resurrection. Forgiveness and vulnerability are essential in relationships. Forgiveness is a grace-filled choice, not a feeling. Real healing in marriage requires empathy, honest listening, asking "Will you forgive me?", and the courage to be vulnerable.   Couple Discussion Questions When you think about your own wounds, how do they show up in our marriage? Share one area where past hurts or early experiences may affect your reactions, fears, or desires. What helps you feel safe enough to open up about those places? What would forgiveness or vulnerability look like for us right now? Is there anything unspoken between us that needs to be brought into the light? How can we listen with empathy, ask "Will you forgive me?", and invite Jesus into that space together? Resources: FREE virtual workshop with Fr.

Part 1 of our series, Christus Victor: Seven Days to Resurrection Thanks for listening to this message from New Life Church. In this message, Joel Solomon, Lead Pastor, starts a series on the book of the week leading up to Christ's resurrection, starting with Palm Sunday. This message was recorded at New Life Church | Kempsville in Virginia Beach, VA.

Guiding Question What does it mean to "die to self," and why is it essential for experiencing the power of Christ in the Christian life? Summary This message centers on the theology of the cross—particularly the believer's need to die to self in order to experience the resurrection life and power of Christ. Drawing from Paul's letters to the Romans and Corinthians, the sermon emphasizes that surrender, not self-effort or religious performance, is the path to spiritual vitality. Through biblical exposition and a vivid personal story, Dr. Lewis argues that true Christian transformation occurs when we lay down our lives and live by the resurrection power of Jesus Christ. Outline I. The Theological Foundation (Romans 6:5–13) Believers are united with Christ in both His death and resurrection. “Consider yourselves dead to sin, but alive to God” (v. 11). Do not let sin reign in your mortal body; live free through Christ. II. Paul's Strategy in Corinth (1 Corinthians 2:1–5) Paul chose not to use clever speech or worldly philosophy. He focused solely on preaching “Christ and Him crucified.” Corinthian culture mirrors modern American culture—immoral, materialistic, prideful, yet spiritually empty. III. The Cost of Discipleship (Mark 8:34–35) “If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross.” Resurrection life is not possible without first dying to self. Many desire God's blessings, but not at the expense of personal surrender. IV. Illustration from Personal Experience A difficult trip to Israel revealed the limits of human strength and leadership. When the speaker finally surrendered to God amid exhaustion, he experienced supernatural peace and strength. The turning point came only after fully dying to self. V. Paul's Personal Struggle (2 Corinthians 4:7–12) Paul ministered in physical weakness, fear, and trembling. Despite suffering and persecution, he continued by dying daily to himself. His weakness became a vessel for Christ's power and life to shine through. VI. The Real Source of Power (1 Corinthians 2:5) Faith must rest not in human wisdom, but in the power of God. Christianity is not merely intellectual or theoretical—it is transformational. Key Takeaways You must die to self to live in Christ. There is no spiritual power without surrendering your will. Christian mediocrity often stems from self-centeredness. We desire spiritual benefits without laying down our lives. Resurrection power follows crucifixion. We cannot know the power of Christ's life without embracing His death. Paul modeled this principle in weakness and suffering. His effectiveness came from his daily crucifixion of self. God's power is made perfect in our weakness. The end of self is the beginning of God's strength (cf. 2 Corinthians 12:9). Scriptural References Romans 6:5–13 – United with Christ in death and life; dead to sin, alive to God. Galatians 2:20 – “I have been crucified with Christ…” Mark 8:34–35 – Take up your cross and follow Jesus. 1 Corinthians 2:1–5 – Paul's preaching: not in wisdom, but in the power of God. 1 Corinthians 3:3 – “You are still fleshly…” 2 Corinthians 4:7–12 – Dying to self so Christ's life may be revealed. Galatians 4:13 – Paul preached due to illness, revealing physical weakness. Recorded 6/21/81

In this Sunday's "Greatest Hits" of Scripture readings presented to us, we hear the story of how man and woman fell pray to the Devil's temptation and were exiled to the desert wilderness. In today's Gospel, where does Jesus go immediately before beginning his public ministry? He goes precisely into the desert wilderness, in search of the exiled Adam and Eve, but first he must contend with the Devil. Jesus does not waver or cower in fear before the Devil like our first parents did, but he goes forth as a Warrior going into Battle, and he triumphs over the Devil's temptations! Jesus will continue to win each battle against Satan until our Enemy is definitively defeated in the Cross and Resurrection. This is why we begin our Lenten journey with Jesus's first battle against the Devil, and we'll end it with His final one: Jesus's victory over sin and death on Easter Sunday of the Resurrection.

In this week's message from our Jesus Glorified: Transfiguration to Resurrection series, we continued through Mark 10, where Jesus reshapes how we understand salvation, greatness, and the culture of God's kingdom.In this chapter, starting at verse 13, Jesus welcomes and blesses little children. In a culture that measured spiritual worth by knowledge and obedience of God's Law, Jesus declared that the kingdom of God belongs to those who can do nothing to earn it. Like infants, we are saved by grace alone—eternal life is received as a gift from God, not achieved by our hard work.That truth is then contrasted with a rich young ruler, who asks Jesus what he must do to inherit eternal life. Though outwardly obedient, he was unable to surrender what he valued most: his wealth. Jesus' loving challenge exposed the deeper question for each of us: Is Jesus enough?Then, as they journeyed toward Jerusalem, Jesus again predicted His suffering, death, and resurrection. Immediately afterward, just as we saw last week, the disciples argued over positions of greatness, prompting Jesus to address once again the truth about God's kingdom leadership. In God's upside-down kingdom, greatness is found not in power, but in humility.We finish up the message with Mark 10:45: “For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.” By using the word “ransom” Jesus' purpose for dying was clear: His substitutionary sacrifice would free us from our slavery to sin and death. His life for our freedom.

Because Jesus prayed for the ones who nailed Him to the cross, we can live forgiven and we can forgive!

Send a textIn this episode, Pastor Ed teaches us about the unconditional love of God. John 3:1616 For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.Romans 5:88 But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.Galatians 5:22-2322 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law.1 Corinthians 13:1-71 Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I have become sounding brass or a clanging cymbal. 2 And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. 3 And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, but have not love, it profits me nothing. 4 Love suffers long and is kind; love does not envy; love does not parade itself, is not puffed up; 5 does not behave rudely, does not seek its own, is not provoked, thinks no evil; 6 does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth; 7 bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.Mark 12:29-3129 Jesus answered him, “The first of all the commandments is: ‘Hear, O Israel, the Lord our God, the Lord is one. 30 And you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind, and with all your strength.' This is the first commandment. 31 And the second, like it, is this: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.' There is no other commandment greater than these.”Ephesians 2:4-54 But God, who is rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us, 5 even when we were dead in trespasses, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved),Proverbs 3:3-43 Let not mercy and truth forsake you; Bind them around your neck, Write them on the tablet of your heart, 4 And so find favor and high esteem In the sight of God and man.Romans 8:38-3938 For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come, 39 nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

At Jesus' Crucifixion and Death, the “Temple Veil” Was Torn; After Jesus Easter Resurrection, You Now Pray Directly with God MESSAGE SUMMARY:  Think about the magnitude of your direct and personal access to God that your prayers give you, through Jesus, if you will only pray. Before Jesus, ordinary people did not have direct access to God, through the Throne Room of God, with a direct personal relationship with God. In Old Testament times, people would come to the priests; and the priest would offer up a sacrifice on behalf of the people. The priests, and not the people, were communing directly with God. On Good Friday and at Jesus death on the cross, the “Temple Veil” was torn from top to bottom (i.e. “Temple Vail” was a large, very thick, and very heavy barrier that divided that portion of the Temple accessible by those wishing to sacrifice for prayer and the “Holy of Holies” where the only the High Priest could meet with God and pray on behalf of the people of God.). At Jesus Resurrection, no longer was an intermediary (e.g., a Priest) required for direct prayer with God by the people in Christ (i.e. Jesus Followers).  Because Jesus created a New Covenant relationship with His followers, now your prayers are in direct communion with God, the Creator of the Universe. Everyone, who is in Christ, may have access to the Throne Room of God in the name of Jesus. What a privilege this direct access to God is for those who are in Christ. The author of Hebrews, in Hebrews 4:16, tells Jesus Followers that, because of the Gospel, you have direct access to God's “throne of Grace” for your needs: “Let us then with confidence draw near to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need.".   TODAY'S PRAYER: Keeping the Sabbath, Lord, will require a lot of changes in the way I am living life. Teach me, Lord, how to take the next step with this in a way that fits my unique personality and situation. Help me to trust you with all that will remain unfinished and to enjoy my humble place in your very large world. In Jesus' name, amen. Scazzero, Peter. Emotionally Healthy Spirituality Day by Day (p. 129). Zondervan. Kindle Edition. TODAY'S AFFIRMATION: Today, I affirm that because of what God has done for me in His Son, Jesus, I AM FILLED WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT. If you then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him!

Examining the details of the Resurrection account.

Read OnlineAt that time Jesus was led by the Spirit into the desert to be tempted by the devil. He fasted for forty days and forty nights, and afterwards he was hungry. The tempter approached and said to him, “If you are the Son of God, command that these stones become loaves of bread.” Matthew 4:1–3In His great humility and compassion for us, Jesus, the Incarnate Son of God, allowed Himself to endure something that we sinful human beings encounter every day—temptation. God's glorious plan from the beginning included the creation of both humans and pure spirits—angels—to form one glorious Kingdom of God. Original Sin, the fall of the angels, and our struggle against temptation were not part of God's original intention, but they became realities due to the misuse of free will, both by angels and by humans. Free will was necessary for both angels and humans to love God freely, which led to a third of the angels and many humans turning away from Him.Theologians such as Saint Thomas Aquinas and Saint Augustine offer profound insights into God's original plan for His Kingdom. In that plan, angels were believed to have been tasked with assisting humans in their journey toward perfection through enlightenment and contemplation. Some choirs of angels were tasked with the governance of the cosmos, guiding the physical world in harmony with God's will.Tragically, the fall of a third of the angels, along with the sin of our first parents, Adam and Eve, has resulted in a world filled with struggle and sin. The fallen angels—now demons—use their natural gifts to deceive, confuse, and tempt. Those who were once responsible for guiding the cosmos now seek to sow chaos, contributing to the existence of natural disasters, disease, and death. While Catholic angelology is speculative, based on a limited amount of biblical revelation, it is important to recognize the role of angels and demons as we enter this sacred season of Lent.Today's Gospel focuses on the activity of the most powerful fallen angel—satan, originally named Lucifer, meaning “Light-Bearer.” Tradition holds that he was among the highest of the angels, possibly a Seraphim. According to Saint Thomas Aquinas, Lucifer's fall resulted from pride: He desired to be a god unto himself, to create and govern according to his own will, refusing to serve God. This cosmic reality, of which both Jesus and satan were fully aware, sets the stage for and adds profound significance to their encounter in the desert.In this dramatic confrontation, Jesus, by allowing Himself to be tempted, begins the ultimate defeat of satan, a victory that will culminate in Jesus' Passion, Death, and Resurrection. This is the only recorded instance in which Jesus permits satan to tempt Him directly. While satan remained active throughout Jesus' ministry, seeking to disrupt His mission, this moment in the desert addresses temptation specifically. By rejecting each temptation, Jesus not only demonstrates how to overcome the devil but also empowers humanity with the grace needed to resist temptation through His triumph on the Cross.As we enter into the first full week of Lent, reflect today on the temptations you face in your own life. Though satan is powerful and highly intelligent, he is no match for the grace of God. By uniting ourselves to Christ, we are strengthened to resist all that satan and his demons throw at us. Victory over temptation is not achieved by our own strength but through Christ's grace, which He freely offers to all who turn to Him. My victorious Lord, You faced satan with courage, the once-beautiful angel who fell from grace through pride and envy. Now he seeks to destroy those whom You love. Give me Your strength and courage this Lent as I confront my own temptations, so that united with You, I may share in Your victory. Jesus, I trust in You.Image - Carl Heinrich Bloch - Jesus TemptedSource: Free RSS feed from catholic-daily-reflections.com — Copyright © 2026 My Catholic Life! Inc. All rights reserved.
