Truth 4 the Week - Joy of crucified Jesus

Topic: Joy of crucified Jesus
 Bible Verse: Isaiah 53:11"After he has suffered, he will see the light of life and be satisfied ; by his knowledge my righteous servant will justify many, and he will bear their iniquities"

Message : We know that Jesus took our pains, sickness sins, shame & all punishment on the cross. While we cannot do nothing in return to match His sacrifice; Bible says about things that can make Him joyful. We see that Jesus *rejoices about our life* when it is Holy, peaceful & healthy with all needs met (John: 17:13-24). Since *He cares for us* He had asked to submit all our cares on Him (1Peter 5:7). Secondly we read that *knowledge about Jesus will justify us* & make Him satisfied (Ephesians: 1:17).  The more we meditate on life of Jesus the more we transform. finally Jesus went through sufferings by looking at the reward He will receive after crucifixion (Hebrews 12:2). Similarly we may have many tests to stand in faith & Holiness; but *when we wait for Him in faith He will rejoice over us.* Jesus has promised to return and take us to be with Him if we live in faith (John 14:3). God bless you.

Prayer : Dear Lord as we live in a trouble filled world; help us to live a Holy life by knowing you more. Continue to speak with us in Jesus name Amen.
