Read 1 Corinthians 15:1-11.
I’ve heard it said that the resurrection of Jesus was so widely witnessed that it is impossible to deny its reality. That’s why. We can’t deny it because so many people could attest to it. For us that means we cannot deny the impact of it either. Because “up from the grave He arose” (a reference to the Easter hymn), you and I have access to God’s grace. The penalty has been paid in full!

    I love what Paul says in verses 9-10. That he does not even deserve to be in the position he is in because of his past, but that God's grace made him what he became.

    Lord, thank you for making us all who we are - who we are meant to be - in You.

Read James 1:2-15. One of the greatest challenges I face is seeing the trials that I face as assets. It is through those trials – difficult and distressing as they may be – that my faith becomes stronger. In them I learn to trust in God’s providence and His promises. So today, instead of grumbling or bemoaning, I want to ask:   “God, what can I learn today? How can I grow?”

Read John 15:1-17. The phrase from this passage that stands out the most to me is found in verse 15: “I no longer call you servants … instead I have called you friends.” This speaks to me of a different kind of God – a God who desires a relational connection to each of us. That echoes throughout the passage, of course, with the imagery of branches connected to the vine. But to be considered a friend of Jesus is a far more intimate image for me. As with any friendship, I need to cultivate that friendship, spending time with Him, talking to Him, listening to Him. That’s my goal today.

Read John 4:5-26.  The story of the Samaritan woman reminds me that everything in this life will eventually leave us to thirst again. The things of this life come and go. But in Jesus, our thirst is forever quenched. In Jesus, everything we need is provided. In Jesus, our lives are complete and whole. So why seek anything else? Why drink from the well of this world and be thirsty again? Come to Jesus and never thirst again.
