Happy Easter brought to you by British Youth for Christ

April 21st, 2019

Matthew 28:8 The women ran quickly from the tomb. They were very frightened but also filled with great joy, and they rushed to give the disciples the angel’s message.

Reflect. Happy Easter! Hallelujah! He is risen! What a glorious day. I think today is the best day of the year. It is the day when we remember that Christ’s death on the cross is enough to redeem us and the seal and proof of that salvation is that the Father raised Jesus from the dead. The women’s hearts were initially full of fear, wondering if someone had snatched their Lord’s body but they were then filled with joy at the angel’s message. These women became the first evangelists as they went to tell others the good news: ‘He is risen!’

Act. We are all called to be evangelists, to tell others about Jesus. We may not all have the gift of evangelism but we all have the same calling to celebrate and tell others this amazing story and to help them become mature disciples. Thank God for that calling on your life and ask Him to fill you again with a passion to reach the lost. Please pray that Youth for Christ workers throughout Britain would be reminded that they have also been commissioned to preach the gospel and make disciples. ... See MoreSee Less

John 16:20 I tell you the truth, you will weep and mourn over what is going to happen to me, but the world will rejoice. You will grieve, but your grief will suddenly turn to wonderful joy.

Reflect. The end of Jesus’ earthly ministry is coming and there is a sense of heaviness and foreboding among his friends. They are not sure what is going to happen and are bereft at the thought of losing their Teacher. There is a marked contrast between how many people will rejoice and the total and devastating grief that will be felt by the disciples but Jesus tells them that their grief will turn to wonderful joy. These were not merely kind words spoken by Jesus, they were a sure and certain hope that the Father’s perfect plan would be completed through His Son’s death and resurrection.

Act. We have the advantage of knowing the full story but it is good to remember the cost. Think about these words by Rend Collective, ‘When condemnation grips my heart and Satan tempts me to despair, I hear the voice that scatters fear, the Great I Am, the Lord is here.’ Pray today that you will be filled with the joy of knowing this Saviour. Also pray for young people who go to church for the first time this weekend to meet the risen Lord. ... See MoreSee Less

Matthew 17:5 But even as he (Peter) spoke, a bright cloud overshadowed them, and a voice from the cloud said, “This is my dearly loved Son, who brings me great joy. Listen to him.”

Reflect. I remember several momentous events in my life that shaped me as a husband, father and disciple. I imagine that when the disciples looked back at this amazing event, they understood more clearly God’s plan for the salvation of the world. The Father’s words were a reminder to the disciples that Jesus is the chosen one of God and would free them from the shackles of sin. The disciples needed constant reminders of who Jesus’s identity and still made mistakes. This reminds me that the Father is always ready to forgive and restore.

Act. Look back to the most memorable moment you spent with Jesus. Think back to the joy of it all and allow the memory to permeate your heart and soul. Make a date to spend some quality time with Jesus again – time when you can just be; time when you can experience those ‘unforced rhythms of grace’. Please pray that Youth for Christ workers who give so much of their time, energy and love to support young people will make time to rest in the Lord’s presence and be refreshed. ... See MoreSee Less

Malachi 4:2 But for you who fear my name, the Sun of Righteousness will rise with healing in his wings. And you will go free, leaping with joy like calves let out to pasture.

Reflect. As a child I used to stay on my grandfather’s farm. It was quite an adventure and I remember fondly the experience of feeding the animals and collecting the eggs. One of the happiest times was seeing the cows give birth and the calves being released into the fields. Reading this verse, I am reminded of those days and the buzz I felt. Even more than that, these words remind me of the freedom I have in Christ to be the person He chose me to be.

Act. Do you find it hard to forgive yourself? I used to find this very hard and carried the baggage of guilt around like a ball and chain. I was always ready to condemn myself and that got in the way of being free, like a calf released from a stall. Remember the words of Romans 8 v 1&2. Remind yourself that all condemnation has been dealt with and don’t return to condemning yourself. Pray for young people who feel inadequate because they keep making the same mistakes. Pray that they may know the joy of living free, because of the Lord’s love for them. ... See MoreSee Less

Zephaniah 3:17 For the LORD your God is living among you. He is a mighty Saviour. He will take delight in you with gladness. With his love, he will calm all your fears. He will rejoice over you with joyful songs.

Reflect. I find it hard to accept compliments so don’t understand how the Lord can take delight in me. Just thinking that He rejoices over me with joyful songs makes me feel so unworthy. Then I realise that He gave His Son for me, not because I have done anything to warrant it but because He loves me and wants me to be close to Him. Recently, I watched the sun rise on a crisp and cold day. The sky shimmered in glorious light, dispelling the darkness and transforming the world before my eyes. It made me so thankful that God lights up my life with joy.

Act. Watch a sunrise or sunset and marvel at the beauty of it all. Give thanks that the God has made you and He delights over you with songs of joy. Read the verse again and think about the phrase: ‘With his love, he will calm all your fears.’ He loves us and therefore we can be confident that when He calls us His children, He means it. What a fabulous compliment to receive and enjoy. Please pray that young people who have recently become disciples may grow in the knowledge that the Father regards them as precious and special. ...
