Soon the world will no longer see me, but you will see me. Since I live, you also will live.
John 14:19
You Will See God
I cannot imagine what it was like for the disciples when Jesus died. They had pledged their lives to following Him and for years they walked with Jesus. He was everything. Then one day He was gone. Not only that, but He was tortured and murdered. He died a terrible death on the cross. They would no longer see Him everyday.
However, His death brought them life. Every one of their lives was changed. Take Peter for instance. He had denied Christ three times before Christ’s death, but after His death, he became a force to be reckoned with. He was such an ambassador for Christ. He preached the gospel and helped rescue the lives of many. So this verse became real for him. Since Christ lived in him, he truly lived. When you recognize how Christ lives in you, then you will truly start to live.
A Prayer to Remember
Dear Lord,
You have given me life through Jesus. Thank you for His salvation. Help me live in that salvation everyday. Amen.
