The Guidance // Day2Pray and Night2Pray (today!), Men’s Retreat
Dear Easter People!
He is Risen!
In this fourth week of the Easter Season, we looked at “The Guidance of the Resurrected Savior,” leaning into the imagery of Shepherd and Sheep that Jesus gives in John 10:1-11 and Peter declares in 1 Peter 2:19-25. Check out the message from Stillmeadow Lane or from York City Campus.
Today’s daily reading (find the daily devotions here) includes a powerful blessing that ties it all together. And I pray this over you today…read it slowly and repeat it a couple times.
20 Now may the God of peace, who through the blood of the eternal covenant brought back from the dead our Lord Jesus, that great Shepherd of the sheep, 21 equip you with everything good for doing his will, and may he work in us what is pleasing to him, through Jesus Christ, to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen. Hebrews 13:20-21
It is true! He is Risen,
Pastor Josh
