Apr.04.01: Light For The Day - "Meditation Of Jesus Christ" -- John 11:25-26  "Jesus said to her, "I am the resurrection and the life;  he who believes in Me, though he dies, yet he will live,  26 and whoever lives and believes in Me will never die.  Do you believe this?" -------------------- Peaceful God, you allowed Jesus Christ to die at Calvary,  taking upon Himself the punishment for our sins, that  we may be reconciled to You. May our sinful selves  die with Him on the cross, that we may rise to that life  of perfect joy and grace which He promises to all  His faithful peoples ..... Just as a grain of wheat must die in the earth in order  to bring forth a rich harvest, so Jesus Christ died on  the cross to bring the rich harvest of love.  Just as the harvest of wheat must be ground into flour  to make bread, so the suffering of Jesus Christ brings us the bread of life. Just as bread gives our bodies strength for our daily  work, so the risen body of Jesus Christ gives us  strength to obey Your laws. -- Nanak --------------------- -- John 3:16,17 (RSV) "For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son,  that whoever believes in Him should not perish but  have eternal life. 17 For God sent the Son into the world, not to  condemn the world, but that the world might be  saved through Him."
