Happy Easter! Hallelujah! He is Risen!

"They found the stone rolled away from the tomb, but when they entered, they did not find the body of the Lord Jesus. While they were wondering about this, suddenly two men in clothes that gleamed like lightning stood beside them. In their fright the women bowed down with their faces to the ground, but the men said to them, "Why do you look for the living among the dead? He is not here; he has risen!"". - Luke 24:2-6

"Where is the Light?" - A Devotional by Chaplain Val VandeHaar

Again, Jesus spoke to them saying, “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will not walk in darkness but will have the light of life.” (John 8:12 NIV)

Have you ever put something in a good place and later forgot where you put it? At my house, this means we can never find a flashlight when we need one! This is so frustrating! But, when we find the flashlight, we are excited because now we can see where we are going by following the light.

In Jesus' day, it was sometimes hard for the people to see the light. The Roman government was persecuting Christians, the Pharisees wanted people to live by the law, and there were divisions within the church. The Jews and Gentiles were not accepting of one another. And the words Jesus spoke and the miracles He performed created great unrest among the people. Jesus' first miracle He turned water into wine at a wedding in Cana; He performed miracles on the Sabbath Day, much to the chagrin of the Pharisees; He used a whip for clearing the moneychangers and animals out of the temple; He told Nicodemus, a grown man, to be born again; He healed the sick and raised Lazarus from the dead. Jesus told the people He was the Truth, the Bread of Life and the Living Water. The people felt confused and afraid.

It is sometimes hard for us today to see the light of Jesus with all that is happening in our lives and in this world. God’s Word reminds us that those who follow Jesus will not walk in darkness but will have the light of life. Let the light of Jesus show you the way today and every day.

"Jesus took up his cross and let himself be crucified, once for all, so that our old selves could be crucified, set apart from sin, and made new through Him—to take on the self-sacrificial life of Christ in place of our old sinful ways when we fully embrace His offer of grace and mercy...."

We all understand the need to set some things apart; we actually do it with a lot of things. When we wash our clothes, we set them apart by colors, or at least my mother told me we should. We tend to set apart our vegetables from our meat on a plate. We set apart […]

"A Culture of Encouragement" - A Devotional by Chaplain Jeff Meyers

Therefore encourage one another and build each other up, just as in fact you are doing. (1 Thessalonians 5:11 NIV)

I’ve noticed people are quick to put others down. Discouraging words are spoken daily. I’ve heard words that I didn’t even know their meaning. I knew it was a putdown word by the inflection of the speaker’s voice. There must be some unhappy people in this country.

Let’s be encouragers. Let us even go a step further and create a culture of encouragement. Let us be so full of encouragement that it flows from us to people we encounter throughout the week. Encouragement begins with being thankful. Thanksgiving is appreciating an action that is completed. Encouragement is providing emotional and spiritual support for an action we are currently doing or are going to do in the near future. These two attitudes are like bookends. Being thankful and encouraging go together in creating a culture of encouragement.

I remember when I was in second grade. (That was five decades ago!) The students in my class took turns reading out loud. After we finished reading, my teacher said, “Jeff you read well. You’d be good at speaking in front of people.” I’ve been speaking in front of people ever since. Encouragement can produce terrific results. Let us create a culture of encouragement.

"The Humble Christ" - A Devotional by Chaplain Jeff Meyers

She gave birth to her firstborn, a son. She wrapped him in cloths and placed him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn. (Luke 2:7 NIV)

This well-known verse from the Christmas story is a real lesson in humility. The omnipotent, omnipresent Lord of the universe appeared as a baby, crying the cry of life, probably weighing less than ten pounds and measuring fewer than twenty-four inches in length. This amazing event is simply described as “she gave birth to her firstborn.” Jesus willingly left the halls of heaven to come to earth as an infant child.

Mary treated Jesus the way any mother would treat a newborn baby. She wrapped Him in swaddling cloths. Mary and Joseph cared for Jesus like any other beloved child. That’s the way we are to treat one another, too. We are to care for each other just as if we are neighbors. We don’t look down upon our neighbor and elevate ourselves. We don’t elevate our neighbor and look down upon ourselves. We wrap ourselves with humility and treat one another just the way we would want to be treated.

Mary laid the baby in a manger. This was a simple feeding trough for animals. When Christ entered the world, He came to a place that had some of the smelliest, filthiest, and most uncomfortable conditions. This is the wonder of Divine grace. Jesus humbled Himself to be born a baby that would grow up to die on a cross as a substitute for human sin. On the cross He would carry some of the smelliest, filthiest, and most uncomfortable conditions of human existence. He did this out of humility. He did so because He so loved the world. Let us humbly love.
