Andrew went and got Peter and brought him to Jesus. Andrew could have been scoffed at or rejected by Peter if Peter did not believe Jesus was the Christ; yet, Andrew took him to Jesus anyways, and I’m sure he was glad he did. You have Jesus, and you love Him. Have you tried to bring your family to Him? Knowing Jesus is the only way to eternal life, wouldn’t you want to try your best to introduce Him to your grandparents, mother, father, brothers, sisters, and cousins?

Personally, I have always compared myself to the people that I most look up to, namely, my mother, father, and Jesus. Doing so has made me feel inadequate often: Christ is God in human form but I am just a man; Christ never sins and I sin often; Christ died and rose from the dead and I am fearful of death. These feelings hinder my growth as a person when I feel them strongly, and it is why verses like these are so important to me.
In these verses, Christ appears to the disciples, proves that he is truly reborn, and breathes the Holy Ghost into them. Their sins are forgiven. They, and all believers, are good enough for Jesus to say these words, to die and sacrifice himself so that our sins, the sins of inadequate mortals, would be remitted. When I remember these verses, I no longer feel inadequate; I, too, feel reborn. The Holy Ghost lives in me as it does in you. My sins are forgiven as are yours. With this in mind, how can I ever feel inadequate?
Prayers:
Dear God, my Heavenly Father, who sent his only begotten Son to us, show us peace and mercy. I, like the disciples reunited again with Christ, feel joy in your presence, O Lord. I am weak, but with you am strong, and thank you for reconnecting me with your miracles and wonders. For joy is what my heart wants, and joy is what it shall receive, accepting your blessings and your everlasting embrace. Amen.
Jeremiah 31:25 HCSB
[25] for I satisfy the thirsty person and feed all those who are weak.”

Thoughts on Today's Verse....
Jesus challenged us with this strong call:
"Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross daily and follow me" (Luke 9:23).
"The way of truth," the way of Jesus, is a daily choice. Not intentionally putting Jesus at the center of our lives and not seeking to please him as our top priority means we slip a little further away from the life he is calling us to live. Any decision made without consciously seeking to please him and obeying his commands (Matthew 28:20) is choosing to place Jesus at the periphery of our lives. So let's set our hearts on him. Let's choose his way and his truth so we can live his life (John 14:6) in our world. Yes, we have chosen the way of truth, and we have set our hope on Jesus, who is the fulfillment of God's laws (Matthew 5:17-28).
My Prayer...
Heavenly Father, I choose to follow Jesus and live obediently to his truth. Please open my eyes to see your will for me in Jesus, and please open my heart to live it with consistency and passion. I commit again today to follow you with all my heart, soul, mind, and strength. In Jesus' name, I pray. Amen.

Sometimes doubt creeps in. We may even allow sin to fester in our lives and lead us to complacency and ceasing to listen to the Holy Spirit. But as believers, we can encourage our brothers and sisters to continue in the faith. Sometimes all someone needs is a reminder, encouragement, and support.

"How could God do this to him?" I wondered. In my pain and grief, other ideas began to emerge: "How lucky were we to have met each other? Would I have wanted it any other way?"
Losing a loved one can be a crushing blow. We all fear the unknown and are sad to think that the warm person we once knew is not a cold body, nothing more than flesh and bone. Similar to I thought with my friend, Jesus’ death was a tragedy, but would you have wanted his life to have been any different? His life was a blessing for all of us, one that we are all indebted to him for. Be comforted by the words of Jesus, as Mary Magdalene was. He has ascended to Heaven with his Father, the prophecy has been fulfilled, and we have been saved. Thanks be to God!
Prayer:
Holy Lord, God of power and light, I am humbled by your sacrifices for me, a lowly servant. I ask that you utilize me in any way you see fit, for I long to be like your son, Jesus Christ, bringing light to the world. Comfort those that are mourning, my God, for their hearts may weigh heavy and need your support. Help me to recognize anyone that may be going through difficult times, so I may lend an ear, a shoulder, or a heart for them. In your name I pray, Amen.
