I am Barabbas Then he released Barabbas to them; and when he had scourged Jesus, he delivered Him to be crucified. Matthew 26:26 This is one of the clearest scriptures about what Jesus came to do.  He came to the world to save sinners and He did that by trading places with them.  On theContinue reading “Wednesday, April 5, 2023”

Forgive But Jesus said to him, “Friend, why have you come?” Then they came and laid hands on Jesus and took Him.  Matthew 26:50 Jesus died on the cross to forgive the sin of the world.  He bled and suffered to pay the price of sin . . . all sin for all time.  YouContinue reading “Tuesday, April 4, 2023”

Resurrection Week Since we are coming up on Easter Sunday, I thought it would be appropriate to spend the week reflecting and remembering the events that took place in Jesus’ ministry leading up to His crucifixion. I know we consider and thank Him all years long, but take some time this week to ask theContinue reading “Monday, April 3, 2023”

Your priority Therefore, we must give the more earnest heed to the things we have heard, lest we drift away. How shall we escape if we neglect so great a salvation, which at the first began to be spoken by the Lord, and was confirmed to us by those who heard Him, Hebrews 2:1 &Continue reading “From the Daily Dose Journal Series”

Ministering Spirits But to which of the angels has He ever said: “Sit at My right hand, until I make Your enemies Your footstool”? Are they not all ministering spirits sent forth to minister for those who will inherit salvation?  Hebrews 1:13&14 This is a good question.  Did God ever say to one of HisContinue reading “From the Daily Dose Journal Series”

John 5:36 I have had many places of employment over my lifetime. Mostly out of necessity.  I tookContinue reading “Friday, March 31, 2023”

What do you seek? I can of Myself do nothing. As I hear, I judge; and My judgment is righteous, because I do not seek My own will but the will of the Father who sent Me. John 5:30 I have come to the point in my life where the fear of the Lord inContinue reading “Thursday, March 30, 2023”

It’s not just a title Therefore, the Jews sought all the more to kill Him, because He not only broke the Sabbath, but also said that God was His Father, making Himself equal with God. John 5:18 Have you ever thought about this?  We pray to God and address Him as our Father or HeavenlyContinue reading “Wednesday, March 29, 2023”

Don’t miss what He is doing The Jews therefore said to him who was cured, “It is the Sabbath; it is not lawful for you to carry your bed.” John 5:10             Have you ever met anyone that like to pick apart ministries.  Maybe they don’t understand a style of preaching or maybe they justContinue reading “Tuesday, March 28, 2023”

No Excuses “When Jesus saw him lying there, and knew that he already had been in that condition a long time, He said to him, “Do you want to be made well?”  John 5:6 Isn’t that a strange question?  Do you want to be made well?  Doesn’t it just make sense that someone would wantContinue reading “Monday, March 27, 2023”
