Devotions

Jesus didn’t just rise to secure eternity; He rose to give us life now—a life overflowing with grace, joy, and purpose. In Him, our brokenness becomes wholeness.

Silent Saturday reminds us of the gravity of Christ’s death. The Son of God bore the weight of our sin, took the punishment we deserved, and endured the separation from the Father we could not.

In one of history’s most profound moments, an innocent man endured a brutal, criminal’s death. Hope crumbled, and a mother wept at the foot of the cross. It doesn’t sound like a good day, does it?

This moment paints a breathtaking picture of worship—an act of complete surrender and extravagant love. A woman, broken in spirit yet bold in faith, pours out her most valuable possession on Jesus. She holds nothing back.

Obedience is hard. It asks of us, demands of us, and costs us. To walk in obedience takes sacrifice. It is servanthood, trust, and sacrifice all rolled into one.

Lent is a season of preparation. It’s a time to reflect, recalibrate, and ready ourselves for Holy Week, when we commemorate the most profound events in history: the crucifixion and the victorious resurrection of our Saviour.

Palm Sunday marks the beginning of the final steps toward the cross, where Jesus’ love was poured out to secure our freedom. As we continue through Lent, let this freedom inspire us to live boldly, gratefully, and purposefully.

As we’ve begun to explore the freedom Christ has given us, we now have the opportunity to let that freedom shape and flow through our lives. In other words, we are free so that we can fully live in and enjoy the freedom He provides!

Discipleship isn’t limited to Sunday mornings or missionary trips to far-off lands. It’s woven into the fabric of our everyday lives. It means taking the message of hope and freedom into your workplace, home, neighbourhood, and community.

Jesus came to set you free. He set you free to enjoy the benefits of that liberty. We are meant to live in the freedom that Christ’s blood purchased for us.

At the point of salvation, the instant transformation of our lives from sinners to saints marked the death of our old selves and the birth of a new creation in Christ.

When we know how the story ends, we release the worry about what happens next. When we know where we are going, we can operate from a place of freedom and not fear.
