“If Jesus is Lord then the only right response to him is surrender and obedience. He is Savior and he is Lord. We cannot separate his demands from his love. We cannot dissect Jesus and relate only to the parts that we like or need. Christ died so that we could be forgiven for managing our own lives. It would be impossible to thank Christ for dying and yet to continue running our own lives.” IfsNeedsWould BeRunningJesusChristChristianityLordImpossibleDyingDemandDiedResponseSurrenderChristian LifeRelateObedienceSaviorForgivenHis Love Author:Rebecca Pippert
“Many times Christians state their love for the Lord and their willingness to die for Him. I will make no pretense of knowing the Lord's will in your life, but I do feel that in most cases the Lord is far more interested in our living for Him than He is in our dying for Him.” FeelsStatesChristianDiesLordCasesKnowingDyingWillingnessPretense Book:The One Year Daily Insights with Zig Ziglar Source: The One Year Daily Insights with Zig Ziglar

“Surely there is a fitness in the institution of the Lord's Supper as a standing memorial by which the church at large may commemorate the grandest act, and by which the heart of each individual believer may be reminded of his dearest friend. You, who have learned to love the Saviour, will prize His ordinance for the Saviour's sake. You who rejoice in the salvation purchased by His dying, will not fail with gratitude and faith to show the Lord's death until He come.” HeartMayShowsIndividualChurchLordFailingDyingGratitudeStandingInstitutionsSalvationSakeBelieverPrizeRejoiceMemorialSaviourSupperOrdinancesDearest FriendLord's Supper Author:William Morley Punshon

“Lord, help us to see in your crucifixion and resurrection an example of how to endure and seemingly to die in the agony and conflict of daily life, so that we may live more fully and creatively. You accepted patiently and humbly the rebuffs of human life, as well as the torture of the cross. Help us to accept the pains and conflicts that come to us each day as opportunity to grow as people and become more like you-make us realize that it is only by frequent deaths of ourselves, and our self-centered desires that we can come to live more fully, only by dying with you that we can rise with you.” PeopleHumansWellsMaySelfHelpingPainDesireDiesOpportunityGrowsRealizingAcceptingLordDyingExampleLike YouConflictCrossesEndureAcceptedHuman LifeTortureEach DayDaily LifeResurrectionAgonySelf CenteredCrucifixionRebuff Author:Mother Teresa
