1 Corinthians 15:50-56  Now I say this, brothers: Flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God, and what is perishable is not going to inherit what is imperishable. Look, I tell you a mystery. We will not all sleep, but we will all be changed, in a moment, in the blink of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised imperishable, and we will be changed. For this perishable body…

Psalm 118:19-24  Open for me the gates of righteousness. I will enter them. I will give thanks to the Lord. This is the gate to the Lord. The righteous enter it. I will give you thanks because you answered me, and you have become salvation for me. The stone the builders rejected has become the cornerstone. This is from the Lord. It is marvelous in our eyes. This is the day the Lord has made. Let us rejoice and be glad in it. Dear Heavenly Father, You…

Job 19:25-27 As for me, I know that my Redeemer lives, and that at the end of time he will stand over the dust. Then, even after my skin has been destroyed, nevertheless, in my own flesh, I will see God. I myself will see him. My own eyes will see him, and not as a stranger. My emotions are in turmoil within me. Dear Heavenly Father, Please give us faith and confidence like Job, to know that our Redeemer lives.…

1 Corinthians 15:12-22 Now, if it is preached that Christ has been raised from the dead, how is it that some among you say that there is no resurrection of the dead? If there is no resurrection of the dead, not even Christ has been raised. And if Christ has not been raised, our preaching is pointless, and your faith is pointless too. Then we are even guilty of giving false testimony about God because we testified about God that…

Matthew 12:40   [Jesus said] For just as Jonah was in the belly of the huge fish for three days and three nights, so the Son of Man will be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth. Dear Lord Jesus, You told your disciples that you would be in the grave for three days. You kept your word, you died, and three days later, you rose victoriously from your tomb. In doing so, you defeated death…

John 19:30 When Jesus had received the sour wine, he said, “It is finished!” Then, bowing his head, he gave up his spirit. Dear Heavenly Father Are there three other words that could be put together to have a more significant impact on mankind? Perhaps “Let there be!” From when you first spoke those words, your plan to save man from the destruction of sin was carved out to redeem us from all our sins. Lord, we look at your…

Mark 14:3-9 While Jesus was in Bethany, in the house of Simon, the leper, as he was reclining at the table, a woman came with an alabaster jar of very expensive perfume, made from pure nard. She broke the alabaster jar and poured it over his head. But there were some who were indignant and said to one another, “Why has this perfume been wasted? Certainly, this perfume could have been sold for more than three hundred denarii and given to…

Matthew 21:18-22 As he returned to the city early in the morning, he was hungry. Seeing a fig tree by the road, he went up to it but found nothing on it except leaves. He said to it, “May there never be fruit from you again!” Immediately the fig tree withered away.

Matthew 21:12-17 Jesus entered the temple courts and drove out all those who were selling and buying in the temple. He overturned the tables of the money-changers and the seats of those who were selling doves. He said to them, “It is written, ‘My house will be called a house of prayer,’ but you are making it a den of robbers!” The blind and the lame came to him in the temple, and he healed them. But when the chief…
