Jesus redeemed me from having two abortions, and the guilt and shame from having an abortion would still have a hold on me if He did not rise from the dead. When He rose, guilt and shame had to rise up off of me too. Therefore if the Son makes you free, you shall be free indeed. - John 8:36 What does the resurrection of Jesus Christ mean to you?

There is no shortcut to success, but God shows us the way to get there. Many people spend their lives chasing money, success, fame, fortune, wealth, and longevity. But what if I told you the Bible already gives us the blueprint for all of it? The answer is simple: the fear of the Lord. Proverbs 22:4 tells us, “By humility and the fear of the Lord are riches and honor and life.” The fear of the Lord does not mean living in terror or constantly trying not to upset God. It means having reverence, awe, and deep respect for His Word, His commandments, and who He is. When we live in that posture, we align ourselves with Him, and that alignment leads to true prosperity. In what areas of your life have you lacked the fear of the Lord, and how can you return to a place of reverence and obedience?

“I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd gives His life for the sheep. - John 10:11 Sheep are very simple and defenseless animals. They are easily afraid, they follow the crowd (even when it leads to danger), and they need constant care and protection. Because sheep are very dependent animals who cannot survive on their own, they need a shepherd to keep watch over them, guide them, and keep them safe. With no sharp teeth, claws, or the ability to run quickly, having a shepherd to keep watch over them and defend them from wolves, lions, and bears is critical to their survival. Jesus reminds us that when it comes to being a shepherd, you can either be a good shepherd or you can be a bad one. What separates the good shepherds from the bad is their willingness to give up their life for the sheep. In John 10:11, Jesus tells us that He is the good shepherd, and one that willingly gives His life for us, His sheep. Let us be thankful and reminded today of the beautiful sacrifice that Jesus gave to us, His own life, so that we can be saved, redeemed, forgiven, healed, and set free.
