Daily Devotional – His Agony and our Access

His Agony and Our Access – From Utmost.org April 5, 2016  Jesus came with them to a place called Gethsemane, and said to the disciples….”Stay here and watch with Me.” —Matthew 26:36, 38  We can never fully comprehend Christ’s agony in the Garden of Gethsemane, but at least we don’t have to misunderstand it. It is the agony of God and man in one Person, coming face to face with sin. We cannot learn about Gethsemane through personal experience. Gethsemane…

Verse of the Day – Hebrews 11:6 KJV

But without faith it is impossible to please him:  for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.

Daily Devotional – The Way to Permanent Faith

The Way to Permanent Faith – From Utmost.org April 4, 2016  Indeed the hour is coming…that you will be scattered… —John 16:32  Jesus was not rebuking the disciples in this passage. Their faith was real, but it was disordered and unfocused, and was not at work in the important realities of life. The disciples were scattered to their own concerns and they had interests apart from Jesus Christ. After we have the perfect relationship with God, through the sanctifying work…

Daily Devotional – ” If You Had Known!”

“If You Had Known!” April 3, 2016 If you had known…in this your day, the things that make for your peace! But now they are hidden from your eyes. —Luke 19:42 Jesus entered Jerusalem triumphantly and the city was stirred to its very foundations, but a strange god was there– the pride of the Pharisees. It was a god that seemed religious and upright, but Jesus compared it to “whitewashed tombs which indeed appear beautiful outwardly, but inside are full…

Daily Devotional – The Glory that’s Unsurpassed

The Glory That’s Unsurpassed – From Utmost.org April 2, 2016  …the Lord Jesus…has sent me that you may receive your sight… —Acts 9:17 When Paul received his sight, he also received spiritual insight into the Person of Jesus Christ. His entire life and preaching from that point on were totally consumed with nothing but Jesus Christ— “For I determined not to know anything among you except Jesus Christ and Him crucified” (1 Corinthians 2:2). Paul never again allowed anything to…

Daily Devotional – Helpful or Heartless Toward Others?

Helpful or Heartless Toward Others? – From Utmost.org April 1, 2016 It is Christ…who also makes intercession for us….the Spirit…makes intercession for the saints… —Romans 8:34, 27  Do we need any more arguments than these to become intercessors– that Christ “always lives to make intercession” (Hebrews 7:25), and that the Holy Spirit “makes intercession for the saints”? Are we living in such a relationship with others that we do the work of intercession as a result of being the children…
