VERSE
of the
WEEK
01 Make a joyful noise unto the Lord, all ye lands.
02 Serve the Lord with gladness: come before his presence with singing.
03 Know ye that the Lord he is God: it is he that hath made us, and not we ourselves; we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture.
04 Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise: be thankful unto him, and bless his name.
05 For the Lord is good; his mercy is everlasting; and his truth endureth to all generations.
Friday after Passover
It is the Friday after Passover. JESUS IS DEAD! The vision of a better life and relationship with God has been taken away. Hope is lost. The Apostles are in disarray and disbelief. But GOD WAS NOT FINISHED!
Jesus was raised from the dead and the gates of Hell were destroyed. Jesus appeared to His disciples and gave a new vision and instructions for the future church. Jesus was the Christ, the Messiah for each of us. And the Church exploded on Pentecost—fearless, with a vision for a new world. The Church was reborn—strong and vibrant. Our church year doesn’t begin with Christmas, it begins on Pentecost! This is where we must focus our vision and restore our faith. This is where we are called to go into the world as His servants. We are called to Love our Neighbor as God Loves Each of Us!
Change has been coming to the Church for years. If we have been listening and feeling God working in our world, we realize it is a time of rebirth for His Church. Change can be frightening but it can also be invigorating. Imagine if you could change the world for the better—the apostles believed they could change the world—and they did. What are we but His apostles today? We can and should change the world for the better. We are called to do this! Pentecost is coming—soon—are you ready?
We must be open to change! We must see the new vision for God’s people and His church. We cannot rest on the past but must adapt to the future and God’s purpose. Christ was sent to bring us back to God and establish a new covenant. He is calling us again to His Kingdom on Earth and in Heaven. Pentecost is here! Go proclaim the Good News!!!
Mo Hofmeister, a fellow seeker like you!
