Our goal is to learn to walk each day with the Lord and to spend time with him each day, not just reading but interacting in prayer. I want to thank you again for journeying together these past six and a half weeks leading to this glorious day! I trust your daily time in Scripture has continued or become a regular habit of yours. Now unto him that is able to keep you from falling, and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy, to the only wise God our Saviour, be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and ever. “I Know the My Redeemer Liveth” Sylvia McNair Sung by a believer. I’m sorry it’s a visually fuzzy recording, but this rendition is one of the best I’ve ever heard. Shaw is letting the music portray the text, “hallelujah!”.

In the first one, Sir Colin Davis is more leisurely enjoying the piece as we’ve heard it a thousand times. Note the difference in the conductors interpretation of this very familiar piece.

For when the trumpet sounds, those who have died will be raised to live forever.
We will not all die, but we will all be transformed! It will happen in a moment, in the blink of an eye, when the last trumpet is blown.

After that, he was seen by more than 500 of his followers at one time, most of whom are still alive, though some have died. He was seen by Peter and then by the Twelve.

They will continue to appear in your emails each morning after Easter. So you can expect to continue to receive daily devotionals through the end of May. In response to quite a few subscribers asking if I might consider writing more than just Lent or Advent devotionals, after some prayer, I decided to continue writing daily devotionals through Pentecost, which occurs fifty days after Easter and will take us this year to May 31st.
These are unusual and difficult days in our world.
