Morning by Morning, January 30 - "Many Convincing Proofs" that Jesus is Alive!
Good morning, Lord Jesus. In these first moments of my morning, I want to get quiet and listen with my heart centered in You, as I watch and wait to see where You'll lead. ...
"After His suffering He presented Himself alive to them by many convincing proofs, appearing to them during forty days and speaking about the Kingdom of God" (Acts 1:3).
Between Your resurrection and Your ascension, You "presented (Yourself) alive ... by many convincing proofs." And every day in my life, You continue to present Yourself alive to my by many convincing proofs.
When the failures or sins from my past come to my mind, but then I hear in my heart that I'm forgiven and free, cleansed and released from all unrighteousness by the power of Your blood, I'm convinced that You're alive. When peace like a river fills my soul even when there's chaos and confusion around me, I'm convinced that You're alive. When faith and hope and love rise up in my spirit in the face of discouragement, disappointment, and doubt, I'm convinced that You're alive. And when I see You move in Your power and love to save and to heal in Your mercy and grace, I'm convinced that You're alive. And maybe above all, when Your Spirit is "bear witness with (my) spirit" that I am a child of God, deeply loved and seen, known by name, and precious in Your sight, I'm convinced that You're alive (Romans 8:14-17).
These are "many convincing proofs" to me -- along with so many more. And not only are You alive, You're alive in me! The very "Spirit of Christ," full of all Your resurrection power and life, lives in me! (Romans 8:9) "Christ in (me), the hope of glory!" (Colossians 1:27) You fill me up and raise me up into the embrace of Your Presence by grace of Your mercy and love. "God, who is rich in mercy, out of the great love with which He loved us even when we were dead through our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ -- by grace (we) have been saved -- and raised us up with Him and seated us with Him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus" (Ephesians 2:4-6).
Somebody ought to give Him some praise! Somebody ought to say Thank You, Jesus!
Thank You, Jesus, that I'm alive in You, that You're alive in me. And I'm looking forward to see some more convincing proofs of Your life and Your Presence all along my journey with You today. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.
