My prayer for you today is that the peace and grace of our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ will abide with you all day and through the night. While I sat here this morning thinking about what Jesus suffered for our sakes, a verse came to mind, and more particularly, one word - foreordained. The bible says that Jesus was foreordained before the foundation of the world and that He was manifest for us in these last times. Have you ever thought about what that really means? I'll be honest and tell you I think it usually goes over my head, but think about it for a minute. That means that before God even created the world that He had a plan for your salvation! What a glorious, all-knowing God we serve!
As you go about your day, give thanks to the Lord because He loved us so much that knowing what man would become He created us anyway, knowing He would have to suffer and die to save us from ourselves and our sins.
1 Peter 1:18-23
18 Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold, from your vain conversation received by tradition from your fathers; 19 But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot: 20 Who verily was foreordained before the foundation of the world, but was manifest in these last times for you, 21 Who by him do believe in God, that raised him up from the dead, and gave him glory; that your faith and hope might be in God.
