He is a True Friend

Jesus Christ is truth. What is truth? It is something that is actually real; it is the way things actually are; there is no falsehood or deception.

Unfortunately we live our lives sometimes believing lies, about ourselves and the world around us. When Jesus Christ came into the world, He brought truth to this earth. He said “I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father but by Me.” You can 100% trust God because God Himself is truth; in Him there is no lie. Jesus said many times to His disciples, “I tell you the truth.”

Falsehood and lies are the opposite of truth. The devil is a liar. The devil may tell you, “God doesn’t love you. You can’t be forgiven. You aren’t worth anything.” But God says the truth to you — He says to you things like, “I love you. You can be forgiven. You are worth so much that I sent My Son to die for you. You can have the gift of eternal life by accepting Christ as Savior and Lord.”

You and I are to be vessels of God’s truth to others. The Bible says we are to “speak the truth in love.” Don’t be harsh or unkind when you speak truth to someone; speak it gently and in love. But as we receive God’s truth and as we speak His truth to others, the world will be a better place. Let us walk in God’s truth each and every day. Jesus Christ is God’s truth in our lives.

So, this week, let us pray and ask God to

• Help us to always tell the truth

• Pour out His Holy Spirit all over the world, that people everywhere would come to know Christ

• Give us His wisdom and protection as we seek to make disciples of all nations and help people grow in Christ

He is Risen

Christ is risen! Jesus Christ died for our sins; then, three days later, He rose from the dead!

Jesus Christ is victorious over sin, and death, and hell. He took the penalty for our sins when He died on the cross, and for three days it looked like death had won.

But then, on Sunday which we now celebrate as Easter Sunday, His disciples came to the tomb where He had been buried — and He was gone! An angel met them there and said, “Why do you look for the living among the dead? He is not here; He has risen!” Death could not hold Jesus; the grave had no power over Him.

And even as God raised Jesus from the dead, so too we can have newness of life in Jesus Christ. Our sinful selves have been crucified with Christ; He has paid the penalty for our sins. Now we too can rise in newness of life with Jesus Christ our victorious Lord living in our lives.

The early Christians would greet each other with these words: “He is risen!” And the other person would respond, “He is risen indeed!” Let us worship our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ; for He is truly risen from the dead.

So, this week, let us pray and



* Thank God that Jesus Christ rose from the dead
* Thank God that Jesus Christ paid the penalty for your sins and mine
* Ask God to help us reach the whole world with the message of His love



He is risen!

May God bless you,

New life in Christ

You can have new life in Jesus Christ! Just as Jesus was raised from the dead, so God can give us new life through the power of the Holy Spirit. "If anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come!"

The Bible says to "put off your old self, which is being corrupted by its deceitful desires; to be made new in the attitude of your minds; and to put on the new self, created to be like God in true righteousness and holiness." God has given us power to live new lives.

When we truly accept Jesus Christ as our Savior and Lord,
Our sins are forgiven
God gives us the power to be filled with His Holy Spirit
Our names are written down in heaven
We can overcome sin and death because of Christ's death for us
We can live in newness of life, no longer weighed down by our past

God loves you so much that He gave His Son Jesus Christ for you. You can live a victorious life in the wonderful life-changing power of God's Holy Spirit.

So, this week, let us pray that



* God will help us make disciples of all nations
* God will help you live above your circumstances in the power of His Holy Spirit
* God will bring blessing and protection to our staff and volunteers



THANK YOU so much for your prayers. God can use your prayers greatly to bring change to people and to nations.
