Episode 273: Don’t Quit Now
from Detox with Abi · host Abimbola Arawande
(Acts 1:3) It must have been difficult and undoubtedly worrying time for Jesus’ followers after Jesus their friend was crucified on the Cross- facing humiliating death on the Cross, in Getsamene. Peter and the other followers, thinking all hope was lost decided to pick up what they left behind. We learnt in John 21 that Peter decided to go fishing and couple of other followers went with him. To their amazement, the supposedly dead Jesus came to their rescue after failed attempts, and they caught many fish. I’m sure there would be many questions on their mind. Could it really be Jesus? Is He truly alive? Was it Jesus’ ghost? How can it be? Fast forward to Acts chapter 1. The Bible mentioned that Jesus presented Himself alive to His disciples, in many different settings over the period of 40 days. They dined and wined together and he taught them things pertaining to the kingdom of God. To these [men] He also showed Himself alive after His suffering [in Gethsemane and on the cross], by [a series of] many infallible proofs and unquestionable demonstrations, appearing to them over a period of forty days and talking to them about the things concerning the kingdom of God.” Acts 1:3 AMP This fellowship must have been re-assuring to the Disciples. The phrase that caught my attention most when I studied this Scripture was “Jesus presented Himself alive to them…” Jesus presented Himself alive to his disciples who seemed to have lost hope of the awaiting desired change. Are you in any way weary, downcast, doubtful of the existence of God, of Jesus abc the dispensation of the Holy Spirit? Do you feel unsettled or unsure of the reality of Jesus and His love due to personal and current national challenges? Do you feel like you have drawn back from His love? Jesus can present Himself alive in your situation. Jesus can, and He will show Himself ALIVE in that seemingly dead situation. Jesus is alive! Jesus is there in your predicament. Yes! He is! Embrace His love. And you will see Him come alive in you and your situation as He does in and through me. Let’s pray Father I thank You for Your Word. I pray for fresh grace for my listeners to see in you a true friend. Thank You Lord because I know You will show Yourself ALIVE in their lives and situations, in Jesus’ name. Amen
