Dear
Friend,
If you do not already have a habit of gathering daily manna the first thing in the morning (we can look at the example given to us in Exodus 16 and find the pattern for make it a habit. Establish your life and your schedule to allow you the necessary time to do your daily collection first thing every morning to give you the strength to make it through the day. And remember that today’s manna will not be sufficient for tomorrow; tomorrow’s manna must be collected tomorrow morning.

Today's Passage : Today's Passage: Reason? Risen!
Bible Verse: Luke 24:34
"Saying, The Lord is risen indeed, and hath appeared to Simon"
Message:
Frank Morrison is best known as the pen name of Albert Henry Ross, an English writer who authored the book “Who Moved the Stone?” published in 1930. Ross was a journalist and novelist who set out to write a book debunking the resurrection of Jesus Christ. However, he converted to Christianity during research and wrote a defence of the resurrection instead. “Who Moved the Stone?” is a well-regarded work in Christian apologetics. Ross meticulously examines the events surrounding the resurrection of Jesus and argues for its historical validity.
The angel that announced the resurrection of Jesus to Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James, and Salome, said to them, “Ye seek Jesus of Nazareth, which was crucified: he is risen; he is not here…” The realisation by the disciples that Christ had risen from death turned the scales for them. His death had a crushing effect on them and threw them into confusion and uncertainty despite Christ’s hints about His resurrection. Here, we see Him appear to two disciples on their way to Emmaus and engage them in a conversation. Yet they did not recognise Him until He made Himself known to them while they dined together and disappeared from their sight afterward. On their return to Jerusalem, they shared their experience with the rest of the disciples. Christ gave them the most complete confirmation by appearing again to them.
In His earthly ministry, Christ proved His divinity in many ways, but rising from the tomb three days after His crucifixion sealed it all. It consolidated the accomplishment of His mission to redeem humanity from the bondage of sin. It distances Him from all religious exponents, authenticates the faith of believers, guarantees the eventual triumphant resurrection of believers, and provides impetus to the preaching of the gospel. Apostle Paul sums up the gospel thus: “For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures…” (1 Corinthians 15:3,4).
The primary reason that Christians walk by faith, preach with confidence, and endure severe persecutions is because He is risen. Hence, the Bible declares, “And if Christ be not risen, then is our preaching vain, and your faith is also vain” (1 Corinthians 15:14).
Meditation
:
Prayer :
Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come; Thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.
For Thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever and ever.
Amen.
