Psalm 22 Foreshows the Crucifixion
Bible verses that lead to the crucifixion: Psalm 22 is one of our favorite passages to turn to when we want to discover prophesies that predict the crucifixion. David wrote a beautiful Psalm describing his present day sufferig that points to the suffering of jesus.
Isaiah 53 Explained
Isaiah was a prophet 700+ years before the birth of Jesus. Isaiah 53 tells of Jesus’ death. A death that hasn’t even been “invented.” To die on a cross, didn’t even exist in Isaiah’s time. Yet, Isaiah 53 gives us an extremely detailed account of his death and in every aspect of his death. He shows us the Messiah was to be a Suffering Servant. The idea that the Messiah would suffer was extremely foreign to the Jewish people. They saw the messiah as a conquering hero. In fact, Isaiah starts out verse 1 by essentially saying, “you’re not going to believe this...”
Christian Playlist - Remembering His Glory - The Body and Blood
Easter Sunday brings us so much hope and life. Yet the road to Easter is somber. Full of questions and goodbyes, sacrifice and loss, and the giving up of our own wills. Come and sit in this playlist and remember the “body and blood” of Jesus. The sacrifice that was given so we can come and stand before Him one day ready to live with Him forever.

I was reading in my Psalms for Praying book today and read the prayer below. It felt very fitting in lieu of recent events and wanted to share. In all honesty, when dark tragedies like these strike, you lose words. You don’t know how to prayer and that’s all you want to do. It’s okay to find those guided prayers. Prayers of lament and frustration. Open up your Bible and turn to Psalms and Lamentations; a perfect place to go to.. Then just be still in the silence and sit in the frustration, sadness and even hope and longing for our eternal coming.
Putting Sin To Death
My morning read the other day was from James Bryan Smith in his book Hidden In Christ. It was about putting sin to death. To mortify it. He gave the example mortifying sin with his experience with the swimsuit addition from a very popular sports magazine. Guessing you all know that one. He talked about his guilty conscience with it as a young kid before he knew Christ. Then as he gave his life to Christ, the struggle became greater. He struggled for years whether to look or just throw it away. Finally he put the temptation to look away and walked straight to the trash bin and put that sin to death. He know longer allowed it to be a temptation.

Some of the deepest moments of my faith journey has been picking up a good read and letting the charcters inspire me. Christian Fiction or better yet Biblical fiction has a way of opening up our mind into what life MAY have been like back then.
