“We ought to be living as if Jesus died yesterday, rose this morning, and is coming back this afternoon.” — Adrian Rogers
This profound statement challenges us to live with a sense of urgency and expectation in our faith. When we reflect on the significance of Jesus’ sacrifice, resurrection, and eventual return, it stirs a passion within us to embody the love and grace that He exemplified. Living as if each moment counts can transform our daily interactions and priorities. It encourages us to spread kindness, share the Gospel, and serve others, knowing that our time here is fleeting and precious.
When we embrace this mindset, we also find ourselves motivated to deepen our relationship with Christ. It prompts us to seek His presence in our lives, study His word diligently, and immerse ourselves in a community of believers who inspire and uplift us.
Prayer:
Dear Lord,
Thank You for the gift of Your son, Jesus Christ. Help me to live each day with the awareness of His sacrifice and resurrection. May I approach each moment with joy, purpose, and the expectation of His return. Fill my heart with love and compassion, so that I may reflect Your light to those around me. Guide my steps and strengthen my faith, as I strive to live in a way that honors You.
In Jesus’ name, I pray. Amen.
