Safe in the Potter’s Hands
“Yet still, Yahweh, you are our Father.
We are like clay and you are our Potter.
Each one of us is the creative, artistic work of your hands.”
~ Isaiah 64:8 (TPT)
In such a time and at any time, we are safe and secure in the Potter’s hands. His loving hands seek to shape our hearts to reflect that of Christ especially when we face difficulties and challenges.
Rejoice At All Times
“16Always be joyful 17and never stop praying. 18Whatever happens, keep thanking God because of Jesus Christ. This is what God wants you to do.“ ~ 1 Thessalonian 5:16-18 (CEV)
We are exhorted to give thanks in all circumstances because we worship and serve the sovereign LORD of “incidents,” “accidents,” and “circumstances,” who providentially watch over our lives. We can thus be joyful and thankful no matter what happens! Shalom.
Celebrate Resurrection!
He [the angel] said. “You are looking for Jesus the Nazarene, who was crucified. He has risen! He is not here. See the place where they laid him.” (Mark 16:6, NIV)
“And God raised the Lord and will also raise us up by his power.” (1 Corinthians 6:14, ESV)
“If you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.” (Romans 10:9, ESV)
The tomb is empty!
Our Savior has conquered death.
Blessed Resurrection Sunday!
HALLELUJAH!
It Is Finished!
“18 For you know that it was not with perishable things such as silver or gold that you were redeemed from the empty way of life handed down to you from your ancestors, 19 but with the precious blood of Christ, a lamb without blemish or defect.” (1 Peter 1:18-19, NIV)
“IT IS FINISHED!” declared the Saviour when He died on the cross that first Good Friday (John 19:30). Worthy is the Lamb that was slain! A perfect, spotless, unblemished sacrifice that saved the world!

Proclaiming the Lord’s Death Until He Comes Again
“The Lord Jesus, on the night he was betrayed, took bread, 24 and when he had given thanks, he broke it and said, ‘This is my body, which is for you; do this in remembrance of me.’ 25 In the same way, after supper he took the cup, saying, ‘This cup is the new covenant in my blood; do this, whenever you drink it, in remembrance of me.’ 26 For whenever you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death until he comes.” (1 Corinthians 11:23b-26, NIV)
This Maundy Thursday, let us remember – his flesh broken and his blood poured out for us that we may experience forgiveness and healing now and forever. Amen.
