Day 331 – Mark 14: 65
Then some began to spit at him; they blindfolded him, struck him with their fists, and said, “Prophesy!” And the guards took him and beat him. Mark 14: 65, NIV Jesus Christ suffered even though He is perfect and pure. He was beaten without justifiable reason. He endured the pain because He wanted to please God and save us from hell. That’s how great and awesome His love is. Imagine, He offered His life so we can spend eternity with Him. No human being can do it. We even find it difficult to serve others because we tend to expect something in return. But our Savior never leaves us alone.…

Day 330 – Mark 14: 50
Then everyone deserted him and fled. Mark 14: 50, NIV Jesus was abandoned by His disciples in the most heart-breaking moment of His life. Instead of staying with their master, they fled away and left Him. It must have been so painful for Jesus to see His disciples leave. It was not an easy thing to do. He needs to abide in the Father’s will on His own. If Jesus, who is perfect and pure, experienced this kind of pain, then we who are sinners are not also exempted from this. We will also go through brokenness. But just like what Jesus did, may we also learn to abide in…

Day 266 – Romans 5:11
We can never boast of our own strength and understanding. We are not perfect. No matter what we do, there will be moments when we feel scared and do things that we will regret in the end. We can’t change ourselves. That’s why we shouldn’t boast about anything that we receive in life except for the grace of God through the sacrifice that Jesus did on the cross. If we want to boast, we must lift the name of Jesus instead because He alone deserves the glory and honor. He is the only one who can make our hearts new. Because of Him, we are given a chance to be…

Day 257 – John 5:30
By myself I can do nothing; I judge only as I hear, and my judgment is just, for I seek not to please myself but him who sent me. John 5:30, NIV Jesus chose not to please Himself but His Father in heaven. He obeyed His instructions and glorified His Name. He may be the Son of God, He may have the power, but Jesus humbled Himself and chose to submit to His Father’s will. He acknowledged that He is nothing without God’s help. We are also called to obey Jesus and please His name. What He did is an example for us to follow. We must remember that we…

Day 256 – I John 1:6
If we claim to have fellowship with Him and yet walk in the darkness, we lie and do not live out the truth. 1 John 1:6, NIV Following Jesus and being in His presence means that you live a life without hatred, anger, and bitterness. If you claim that you have a relationship with Him, it means you allow His love to reign in your heart. There is always hope and light if you live according to God’s ways. His truth may sometimes hurt, but obeying what He said will lead you to experience a fulfilled life – a life out of darkness and shame. It’s not enough that you…

Day 251 – Mark 8:31
He then began to teach them that the Son of Man must suffer many things and be rejected by the elders, the chief priests and the teachers of the law, and that he must be killed and after three days rise again. Mark 8:31, NIV Jesus said these words to His disciples after He asked them about who He was. He already informed them beforehand that He would suffer and be rejected by so many people. And not only that, He will also experience physical death. But despite the negative things that He would go through, Jesus shared with them a wonderful promise – after three days, He would…

As the Father has loved me, so have I love you. Now, remain in my love. John 15:9, NIV Jesus said these words to His disciples, reminding them to stay rooted in His love. Let’s also do the same thing. Let’s choose to abide in His presence even in seasons when we are struggling. Let’s remain in His love even when we are in pain.
