Grace & peace to you.
This week’s passages had several significant intersections. I noticed the theme of “witnesses” that ran through the Scriptures. How are we to witness to the resurrection of Jesus Christ in today’s world. Maybe the starting point is to follow in the footsteps of Jesus, doing what he did, saying what he said, and loving the way that he did. May we, as God’s beloved children, share the love of Jesus with each and every person we see today.
- Luke 24:36b-48: Jesus appears to the disciples, showing them his hands and feet, and eating a piece of bread to prove that he is not a ghost. Then he shows them how he has fulfilled the Scriptures, and he calls them to proclaim repentance and faith in Christ as his witnesses.
- 1 John 3:1-7: Because of God’s love, we are God’s children, and we have hope that when we see Christ we will be like him. Therefore, we resist sin and seek to live in righteousness as Jesus is righteous.
- Acts 3:12-19: Immediately after the healing of the lame man, Peter addresses the crowds, explaining that the power to heal the man came from the same Jesus that they had crucified. Peter then calls the people to turn back to God.
- Psalm 4: A plea for God to remember God’s faithful servant, and an affirmation of how God cares for those who trust in God. Finally, a call for people to stop chasing lies and turn back to God.
