Gathering His Courage
This day was called Preparation day. (That means the day
before the Sabbath day.) It was becoming dark. A man named
Joseph from Arimathea was brave enough to go to Pilate and
ask for Jesus' body. Joseph was an important member of the
Jewish council. He was one of the people that wanted the
kingdom of God to come.
-- Mark 15:42-43 (ERV)
KEY THOUGHT:
If we love Jesus and remember his suffering and humiliation on the
Cross, we too can gather our courage and stand up for him -- even when
there is much to lose and there appears to be nothing to gain.
(However, we need to remember that there is always something to be
gained because God can do great things even from our faithfulness in
the smallest things.
TODAY'S PRAYER:
O God Almighty, stir my courage and empower me to stand for Jesus even
when things do not look promising and many enemies surround me. In
Jesus' name I pray. Amen.
