SHOWTIME - day 2

Good Friday morning! Hope this finds you well. Isn't God good? He really, really is! Jesus Christ is King and we are co-heirs with Him! Only a good God would do that for us!

Okay back to our study...


1. Read Luke 7:38 as a refresher. Jot down or draw out what you see in your mind's eye.


Utter humility. No regard as to what people thought or said. Focused on the one and only man in the room who could change her life forever. She chose to lay her past, present and future at the feet of the man she had heard so much about. The one man who could be and would be the lifter of her head.
How about us? How about you? Have you chosen to lay it all down? Have you chosen to allow Christ to be the lifter of your head?
For me, the past is a whole lot easier than the future. The present I pickup often, try to fix it, and then lay it down as past when I have messed it up.

2. Look up Revelation 1:4. Summarize it on your paper.

I think that pretty well covers it all. Again, it is our choice. Christ has been where we were, He is where we are, and He has gone where we have yet to go. He is the Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end (Revelation 1:8). We just need to hand the luggage we have been dragging around with us over to Him.

3. On you paper, draw 3 good sized boxes and label them past, present and future. In the boxes write down things from your past, things you are dealing with now, and things you are worried about in the future.

4. Now give those boxes to Jesus. Refuse to pick them up again. Walk in the freedom that is the yoke of Christ and find rest for your soul.

" Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For My yoke is easy and My burden is light. "
Matthew 11:29-30 (NKJV)
