My Devotional Journal: Today’s Our Daily Bread Author - Tim Gustafson … AT THIS LINK … told of how Lee Strobel, a noted crime reporter and journalist did exhaustive research trying to prove that his wife, who had become a Christian, was wrong. But after two years of exhaustive research, Strobel came to believe that Jesus was Who He said He was. And Stobel’s five-year old daughter, saw the change in her dad after he surrendered his heart to follow Christ, declaring to her mother, “Mommy, I want God to do for me what he’s done for Daddy.”
Have any of my readers, here today, done their research, like Lee Strobel wrote about it in his testimonial book, The Case For Christ. Personally. … I was once an angry atheist; and I, like Strobel, came to realize that all the historical and social data point to the reality that Jesus did, … in fact, … die on a cross and was resurrected to save mankind, … and me, … from our sins. It’s Easter today. So, … are you joining me to celebrate our Lord’s resurrection, knowing and believing today that, as Dolly Parton sings in the linked song, … He’s alive!!!
My Thanksgiving: … Oh, King Jesus, thank You, … for dying to save me; and anyone reading with me today, who believes that You live in us forever.
My Prayer Today: Oh Abba Father, ... King Jesus, ... . I pray, … again today, … that all reading here will join with me, … to celebrate TODAY what You did on the cross, Lord, to save all of us who believe in You as our Messiah. … AMEN
