Looking Forward in Hope

Meditate tonight on the Good Shepherd who lays down His life for His sheep.

Lift your heart in thanksgiving tonight as you consider all your God has done.

Rest in the assurance that God is at work in your life tonight.

Let Matthew 13 help you cultivate “ears to hear” Jesus’ voice in Scripture.

Meditate on the strength and help that comes from God with Psalm 30.

Reflect on the gift God has put inside you, entrusting from His heart to yours, with 2 Corinthians 4.

Of the seven sayings of Christ on the cross, this triumphant declaration drew His act of self-sacrifice to a close. How would the people at the foot of the cross have understood these words? And, what was Jesus claiming in this statement of completion? This passion week, an understanding of Jesus’ last words from the cross can deeply enrich our appreciation of the love He expressed for us there.

Come and know the assurance that every dark stain of sin has been wiped clean from your life.

If you feel lost and alone, come and know the Good Shepherd who is only a prayer away.
