          Communion with Risen Lord in Daily Life

                           2 Timothy 2:1-13

                             Kristine Samuel

                       Long Island MTC, NY


"..if we endure, we will also reign with him; if we deny him, he will also deny us; 13 if we are faithless, he remains faithful—for he cannot deny himself."

In our daily lives we witness God’s greatness through our eyes. Not just by the goodness of the living creatures that walk on this very earth God has created for us but also by the Word that we read everyday to understand His story and witness our faith. Every Sunday we praise our Father God and confess our sins to Him and learn more about His wisdom. During this time we partake communion which is a Holy Sacrament. In Luke 22:19 it says, “This is my body given for you; do this in remembrance of me.” He does this again with the cup of wine as a symbol of His blood. By partaking in this we are reminding ourselves what Jesus did in the past, as well as a symbol of what our relationship is with Him in the present and our bond with Him on what He will do in the future. When we look at the resurrection of Jesus we witness the intensifying power of God Almighty. It is clearly stated in the Bible that He created the world and everything on it, but many didn't believe such a statement and started to drift away from the path of faith. It was at that point where God had to make a choice on letting His Son die on the cross for our sins. It's written in 2 Timothy 2:3 “Join with me in suffering, like a good soldier of Christ Jesus.” From the resurrection we can see that God truly exists and also gives us proof on how He is Savior of this very world. Let us continue our journey with Christ and remember He will always be there for us no matter how far we are away from Him.

                        PRAYER

Our Heavenly Father, help us to continue our journey as a soldier of Christ. Amen.

             THOUGHT FOR THE DAY:

"Even if we are faithless, He remains faithful" vs. 13

  Constant, patient and welcoming love of God   St. Luke 15: 11-32  V.21: And the son said to him, ‘Father, I have sinned against heaven and in your sight, and am no longer worthy to be called your son.’ The parable of the ‘Prodigal son’ is one of the most frequently quoted parables that Jesus told His disciples. The parable contains the rich mine of human virtues and emotions. This parable is lived and re-lived in progressing civilizations from time immemorial and continuing. It brings out in vivid detail the pathetic depth of human sinfulness and the glorious heights of God’s forgiveness.      As a story of human nature, fathers are generally merciful to their children in any circumstance. They are very protective and are eager to provide for and secure the lives of their offspring. Jesus is telling this parable to underscore the superlative love of God to His children. The nature of such love is reiterated by Jesus in Matthew 7:11. Humankind who are evil by nature, give good gifts t

PRIESTHOOD: THE ANOINTED MINISTRY Exodus 40:12-16 Bring Aaron and his sons to the entrance to the Tent of Meeting... wash them with water. Then dress Aaron in the sacred garments, anoint him and consecrate him so he may serve me as priest (Exodus 40: 12-13). Priesthood among the people of God was a divine command and initiation. God wanted some people to be separated for the special ministry among his people. God appointed Aaron and his descendants to take up this kind of ministry among the people of God. Priests are always separated and appointed as channels that connect God with his people. All throughout the history of Israel, priests played an important role in connecting people with God and to lead and guide them in the statutes of God. But there are incidents in the Bible where the priests failed in their duties and that led the people to go away from God. So the priests have a special and significant ministry to perform in this world among his people. Two important things

Revelation for Liberation Acts 27:18-26 Sherine Thomas Long Island MTC, NY 20  When neither sun nor stars appeared for many days, and no small tempest raged, all hope of our being saved was at last abandoned. “After winter comes the summer.  After night comes the dawn.  And after every storm, there comes clear open skies” so said a Scottish clergyman from the 1600s. It’s been said, that hope can sometimes be the most dangerous weapon.  However, it’s sometimes the hardest weapon to carry when you’re living with the loss of a loved one, something that almost feels like a terrible nightmare that’ll never go away.  It’s a weapon difficult to carry when day in and day out no one seems to hear or see those tears that are shed or silent cries that are made during a heartfelt prayer. It’s a weapon difficult to carry as you see your loved one lying on that hospital bed.  It’s a weapon difficult to carry as you search and seek out answers to tell a child as to why they’ve been a
