 Max Lucado Daily: Everyday Blessings 
  • The Empty Tomb

    • “Come, see where his body was lying.” Matthew 28:6 NLT

    Take a look at the vacated tomb. Did you know the opponents of Jesus never challenged it’s vacancy? No Pharisee or Roman soldier ever led a contingent back to the burial site and declared, “The angel was wrong. The body is here. It was all a rumor . . .”

    Helps explain the Jerusalem revival. When the apostles argued for the empty tomb, the people looked to the Pharisees for a rebuttal. But they had none to give.

  • Seeing the Source

    • “Anyone who has seen me has seen the Father.” John 14:9 NIV

    Only in seeing his Maker does a man truly become man. For in seeing his Creator man catches a glimpse of what he was intended to be. He who would see God would then see the reason for death and the purpose of time. Destiny? Tomorrow? Truth? All are questions within the reach of the man who knows his source. It is in seeing Jesus that man sees his Source.

  • What Faith Sees

    • “Faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see.”  Hebrews 11:11 NIV

    Faith is trusting what the eye can’t see.

    Eyes see the prowling lion. Faith sees Daniel’s angel.

    Eyes see storms. Faith sees Noah’s rainbow.

    Your eyes see your faults. Your faith sees your Savior.

    Your eyes see your guilt. Your faith sees his blood.

  • I Am Who I Am

    • “Take courage, it is I; do not be afraid.”  Matthew 14:27 NASB

    Waves slapping his waist and rain stinging his face, Jesus speaks to [the disciples] at once. “Courage! I am! Don’t be afraid!”

    Speaking from a burning bush to a knee-knocking Moses, God announced, “I AM WHO I AM” (Exodus 3:14 NASB).

    God gets into things! Red Seas, Judean wildernesses, weddings, funerals, and Galilean tempests. Look and you’ll find what everyone from Moses to Martha discovered. God is in the middle of our storms.

  • Only Through the Cross

    • “We have freedom now, because Christ made us free.” Galatians 5:1

    Some teach that we earn God’s favor by what we know (intellectualism). Others insist we are saved by what we do (moralism). Still others that salvation is determined by what we feel (emotionalism).

    However you package it, Paul contests, . . . salvation comes only through the cross—no additions, no alterations.

  • He Sings Over You

    • “The Lord God is like a sun and shield; the Lord gives us kindness and honor.”  Psalm 84:11

    Rejections are like speed bumps on the road. They come with the journey . . . You can’t keep people from rejecting you. But you can keep rejections from enraging you. How? By letting God’s acceptance compensate for their rejection.

    When others reject you, let God accept you. He is not frowning. He is not mad. He sings over you. Take a long drink from His limitless love.

  • Second Birth

    • “God is being patient with you . . . He wants all people to change their hearts and lives.”  2 Peter 3:9

    In many ways your new birth is like your first: In your new birth God provides what you need; someone else feels the pain, and someone else does the work. And just as parents are patient with their newborn, so God is patient with you. But there is one difference. The first time you had no choice about being born; this time you do. The power is God’s. The effort is God’s. The pain is God’s. But the choice is yours.

  • Love for the Least

    • “Anything you did even for the least of my people here, you did also for me.”  Matthew 25:40

    What is the sign of the saved? Their scholarship? Their willingness to go to foreign lands? Their ability to amass an audience and preach? Their skillful pens and hope-filled volumes? . . . No.

    The sign of the saved is their love for the least . . .

    No fanfare. No hoopla. No media coverage. Just good people doing good things. For when we do good things to others we do good things to God.

  • Our Next Door Savior

    • “We have an Advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous.” 1 John 2:1 NASB

    Even in heaven, Christ remains our next door Savior . . . The King of the universe commands comets with a human tongue and directs celestial traffic with a human hand. Still human. Still divine. Living forever through his two natures . . .

    The hands that blessed the bread of the boy now bless the prayers of the millions . . . You know what that means? The greatest force in the cosmos understands and intercedes for you.

  • Adopted

    • “Serve only the Lord your God. Respect him, keep his commands, and obey him.” Deuteronomy 13:4

    Christ’s kingdom is . . . a kingdom where membership is granted, not purchased. You are placed into God’s kingdom. You are “adopted.” And this occurs not when you do enough, but when you simply admit you can’t do enough. You don’t earn it; you simply accept it. As a result, you serve, not out of arrogance or fear, but out of gratitude.
