Daily Prayer for May 17
CHRISTOPH FRIEDRICH BLUMHARDT
“Let us, then, hold firmly to the faith we profess. For we have a great High Priest who has gone into the very presence of God - Jesus, the Son of God. Our High Priest is not one who cannot feel sympathy for our weaknesses. On the contrary, we have a High Priest who was tempted in every way that we are, but did not sin. Hebrews 4:14-15, TEV
Dear Father in heaven, we look to Jesus Christ, who is at your right hand, through whom you have promised help for the whole world. Unite us with him so that we may receive authority to help all people according to your will. May your name be kept holy among us, for your children have every reason to rejoice in the Savior you have given them. We thank you for everything you have shown to those who believe in you. We pray to you, hasten the time when your day shall come with glory, the day when you will give the glory to Jesus Christ, when he will reign and triumph over all evil and bring the peace you have always wanted to give the world. We wait and long for this. “Amen
Jesus chose to leave the glories of Heaven and to leave His glorified body, behind, to live in a corruptible body made of flesh. A body that knew hunger, thirst and pain.
He made this sacrifice to bring redemption to mankind. Yet millions choose self-pride over salvation. God does not send people to hell. They choose hell rather than admit that they are a sinner in need of redemption.
They will not know the cost of self-pride until eternity. What a waste!
Come to Jesus, while there is still time.
Maranatha,
Betty
