TURNING POINT DEVOTIONAL BY DAVID JEREMIAH
David Jeremiah 7th April 2023 Turning Point Devotional, Friday Message
As you study today’s devotional, remember this; “Work hard so you can present yourself to God and receive his approval. Be a good worker, one who does not need to be ashamed and who correctly explains the word of truth.” 2 Timothy 2:15 (NLT)
But if the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, He who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through His Spirit who dwells in you. – Romans 8:11
Recommended Reading: Romans 6:5-8
German literature describes it as Weltschmerz: “world-pain” or “world-weariness.” Characters exhibit feelings of disappointment, if not despair—the feeling that the world cannot satisfy the expectations or desires of the human heart.
King Solomon experienced a sense of Weltschmerz; he called it “vanity” (Ecclesiastes 1:2). But he also offered an insight into why this world cannot satisfy: “Also [God] has put eternity in their hearts” (Ecclesiastes 3:11). God created us to seek after eternity—something this temporal world cannot provide. But it can be found in the resurrected Jesus Christ. The seemingly sad end to the temporal life of Jesus of Nazareth was reversed when God raised Him from the dead to live forever. And all who belong to Christ are promised the same result: from emptiness to the fullness of life, now and forever.
If you belong to Christ today, His resurrection ensures your resurrection. His eternal life becomes your eternal life. This Easter weekend, praise God for a full life in Christ!
We will never crave to be filled until we are convinced that we are empty.
