John 20:16 Jesus said to her, “Mary!” She turned and said to Him, “Rabboni!” (which is to say, Teacher).

Jesus came into this world to seek and save the lost. He did not come into the world to confuse us and to cause chaos.

And yet so many people try to tell stories that confuse and cause Chaos just so that they can feel better in themselves in some manner.

Mary needed to weep and mourn to get over the feelings and grief she was going through and Jesus knew that. He stopped and waited until the time was right.

Then without hesitation he stepped up to the mark and changed the world for Mary. He can do the same for you too if you are patient.

John 17:9 I pray for them. I do not pray for the world but for those whom You have given Me, for they are Yours.

As a human man, Jesus lifted up His prayers to God just as we should. He did not pray for the world and all the sin of the world but for all of us who were destined for Heaven.

Jesus’ ministry was to seek and to save the lost but he also knew that the found needed caring for always.

Just because we are saved from our sin debt does not mean that we can be ignored by our God. He cares for us and wants to keep us safe from all things.

Let us lift each other up in prayer knowing what Christ has done for us many years ago.

John 14:6 Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.

Jesus tried to tell the disciples what he could before giving His life up on the cross, but He could not give away everything otherwise they could have stopped this all!

Jesus made sure that His death was still going to happen and that He could be sacrificed for us. He knew the consequences but He knew the consequences if He failed…

Christ loves us so very much and we need to remember that. This day when we remember His death on the cross, remember what He was doing – and He knew what He was doing!

John 13:1 Now before the Feast of the Passover, when Jesus knew that His hour had come that He should depart from this world to the Father, having loved His own who were in the world, He loved them to the end.

Jesus always made sure that He carried things out to completion and did not leave things half finished.

How many times do we try to start something only to give up because we find it too difficult or because we find we cannot do it, or even because we just don’t want to?

Jesus made sure He did not promise what He could not do. He made sure He did carry out promises. He made sure of this all because of His love for us.

He loves us and continues to love us even now.
