Luke 8:40

DECEMBER 31, 2023

Today’s Scripture

So it was, when Jesus returned, that the multitude welcomed Him, for they were all waiting for Him.

Luke 8:40

Throughout His earthly ministry, Jesus was met with mobs and meals (Lord, tell Mary to help me!), palm branches and parades, accusations and accolades, pointing fingers and perfume. His presence prompted a response.

Even today, Jesus demands a decision….and action. What we choose to do with Jesus and His cross is the primary and most pressing decision any person ever makes.

Instead of His death ringing with finality, it trumpeted a new beginning for all of us. His anguished cry, “It is finished,” actually means “paid in full.” He wiped away the enormous, insurmountable debt – the penalty for our sins – completely. How can we properly express our gratitude and devotion?

How will you meet Jesus in 2024? Wait and watch for Him. Welcome Him with worship and adoration. Greet Him with gratitude and great joy! To truly honor Jesus in the coming year, what is the one thing that you can begin to do now? How will you usher Him in?
