Good Morning Girls Devotional Week 2: Why Easter Matters

Read & S: Mark 15:37-39 (TLB)Then Jesus uttered another loud cry and dismissed his spirit.And the curtain in the Temple was split apart from top to bottom. When the Roman officer standing beside his cross saw how he dismissed his spirit, he exclaimed, “Truly, this was the Son of God!”

O: It wasn't until He breathed His last that He proved to people that He WAS the Son of God. Who else could be on the cross, ask His Father to forgive those who did that to Him, and then release His spirit and soul back to His Father? The ones who hung Jesus on the cross KNEW that He was the Promised One. The Savior. Who else could it be!?

A:  Sometimes it's hard to believe in something you can't see. And sometimes it is so hard to pray and not get an answer (or you get an answer you didn't like). We all need to remember that Jesus is very much real. I know that I have to remind myself that my faith is stronger than my doubt. That Jesus is bigger than my problems. And if I don't like the answers I get to my prayers, then I have to ask Jesus how it's going to work out. No one said it was going to be easy. Life never is. But the love of Jesus Christ is greater than all things.

 

P: Lord Jesus, help us to trust in You even though we can't physically see You. You are always there with us through the good and the bad. You hold us up when we want to fall. Our eyes may not see You, but our hearts and souls know You are there.
