JUNE "prayer-starters" DAY 17

Day 17—Passing on the Love of God that comes to us through the Lord Jesus

In the Lord Jesus we not only have a Redeemer, we have also an example of what our lives can be in the Kingdom of Heaven. It is a Life whose major characteristic will be that of selfless Love for others. The anti-Christ cannot withstand this quality of Life. It will utterly amaze him and cause him to stumble when he cannot experience it. Neither can those who follow him.

I John 3:16,17—Hereby perceive we the Love of God, because He laid down His life for us: and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren. But whoso hath this world’s good, and seeth his brother have need, and shutteth up his bowels of compassion from him, how dwelleth the Love of God in him? NIrV—We know what Love is because Jesus Christ gave his life for us. So we should give our lives for our brothers and sisters. Suppose someone sees a brother or sister in need and is able to help them. If he doesn’t take pity on them, how can the Love of God be in him?

Matthew 20:28—Even as the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give His life a ransom for many. NIrV—"Be like the Son of Man. He did not come to be served. Instead, He came to serve others. He came to give His life as the price for setting many people free.”

GREAT REDEEMER, I can only know this kind of life if it comes from You. Like a transfusion, I need this Life of Love. Won’t You please impart it to me, and to these in our fellowship. Let others see it and begin longing for that eternal Life that You give us by Your amazing grace.

Ephesians 3:14-19 For this cause I bow my knees unto the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, Of whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named, That he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by his Spirit in the inner man; That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; That ye, being rooted and grounded in love, May be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height; And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God.
