JESUS- THE HOPE OF A BETTER TOMORROW

LIGHT FOR THE WAY

(Daily Devotional)

Wednesday 29th January 2020

TOPIC : JESUS - THE HOPE OF A BETTER TOMORROW 

TEXT:  "They went in and did not find the body of the Lord Jesus"(Luke 24:23).

The story was told of how long lines of tourist from all over the world wait day after day to visit Lenin's tomb and see his embalmed body. Although he died in 1924, the corpse of that communist leader has seemingly no decomposition. It looks deceptively lifelike. And its appearance is indeed deceptive. Skillful artist monitored the preserved corpse, artificially coloring its face and using wax to fill any lines or smallest spot of decay.

People also regularly visit Jerusalem to see the place where Jesus died and was buried. But there is striking constrast--there is no body of the crucified Christ to be found any where. But there is only one rock hewn tomb, where according to tradition the nail scarred, spear driven,  thorn crowned corpse of Christ was laid. But resurrected by the power of God His Father, the saviour left His grave clothes behind when He emerged from the tomb, like a butterfly abandoning its cocoon.

Jesus is alive! And you can know His presence today. Because of His atoning death and empty tomb, you can have eternal life(1Cor.15:20-22). Because Jesus lines,  we can have the hope of a better tomorrow. The song writer says "because He lives I can face tomorrow." The victory of Jesus over the grave a guarantee  of your eternal victory over all challenges of life that we might be facing today.  You need only to admit that you are a sinner and want His salvation. He will give you a new life now, a new beginning and you have hope of a glorious future ( see colossians 1:27) And those that have received the gift of salvation and continue to believe, will continually enjoy the abundance of His amazing grace. One day we will all see Him and be with Him forever(1Peter 1:3-5).

Receive the gift of salvation today and stay connected to Jesus all the way.
