God lives and works today.
The living, risen Lord Jesus has conquered the
powers of death and hell, so that we
too can have victory.
How can we take advantage of his offer?
The answer is in today's meditation by Basilia
Schlink.
Sing of his victory.
Jesus Christ, the victor's name, every knee shall
bend before you.
Seated on the heavenly throne, all creation shall
adore you.
For your name such power wields, only triumph
victory yields.
Praise and laud and honor pay to this
holy name of Jesus.
All the heavens on its way, sing with
us its splendid glory.
His all-conquering love adore, Jesus, Savior Christ,
our Lord.
Our Lord Jesus is standing before us in
his great love to give us a share
in his victory, to give us his gifts
and his grace.
How little we have to do to take
advantage of his offer.
If we want to claim the offer of
Jesus, the first thing we have to do
is give him our time.
It is not enough to offer a few
minutes or a quarter of an hour every
morning for a whole day.
If I can sacrifice hours during the day
for earthly and transient things, and even for
unpleasant things, how much time do I give
in order to come to Jesus to receive
his offer?
I can only receive his offer if I
come to him and stay by him.
That is a law of love.
Love only gives when the other comes and
listens and when he is open.
However, that takes time.
Jesus also needs time to reveal himself to
us.
This does not happen within a short space
of time.
Prayerfully, we must sink ourselves into Jesus.
With an open heart, we must search the
scriptures and listen to his voice.
Such times of prayer can bring about very
important changes in our lives.
They bring us into intimate contact with Jesus
so that we can become free from fears
and bondages.
But during these times of prayer, it is
important to praise the blood of the Lamb
over our bondages to sin, over our fears
and difficulties.
To claim the victory of Jesus means to
fight a battle of faith by praying again
and again, praising his victory which has been
sealed by his wounds.
There is power in prayer when we proclaim
the power of his wounds.
Then we are declaring what Jesus has done
for us.
Hell and Satan have to hear it and
yield because Jesus has conquered them.
He stretches out his strong right hand.
All those before him cannot stand.
And they are all defeated.
Alleluia!
