My Journal for Today: This is Holy Week as I write this blog, being led by my Our Daily Bread devotional; and it’s an appropriate reality to remember and celebrate that we, who’ve come in faith to receive the saving grace completed and offered by the blood of Jesus on the cross, are now adopted and are part of the family of God; and that not only that, but we are joint heirs with Jesus of His throne.
HOW COOL IS THAT, my dear fellow Christians??!!!
And so, … as we are going through this week of remembrance, closing out on the 40 days of Lent, let us rejoice in the reality that one day, in Glory, all who have received God’s saving grace are now fully part of His family; and He is bringing us to glory, being completed in Him (see Philippians 1: 6 above) to share His throne as an adopted son (or daughter) of THE KING.
My friend, as the two songs to which I’ve linked you above proclaim, there are no orphans in the family of God; and anyone who has received the saving grace from the covering blood of Jesus from His sacrifice on the cross will inherit all that His glory will bring in heaven.
Do I sense a resounding “HALLELUJAH!!!”
My Prayer for Today … Yes, LORD, for sure, hear my … HALLELUJAH!! that I am part of Your family and an heir to Your throne. Again, I say, HALLELUJAH!! … Amen
