Never Alone -The Constant Presence of Christ

This is Follow Jesus Radio encouraging you to have faith in Jesus Christ and follow him daily. The title of this devotional thought is: Never Alone -The Constant Presence of Christ

Luke 4:42  When it was day, he departed and went into an uninhabited place, and the multitudes looked for him, and came to him, and held on to him, so that he wouldn’t go away from them.

In Luke 4:42, we see Jesus seeking solitude in a deserted place, even as the crowds sought Him out. This moment highlights the importance of both connection and solitude in our spiritual lives. The people wanted to keep Jesus with them, not realizing that His mission extended beyond their immediate needs.

Now, as believers, we can rejoice in the truth that Jesus has returned to heaven but has not left us alone. In Matthew 28:20, He promises, "And remember, I am with you always, to the end of the age." This assurance means that we never have to plead for His presence; He is always with us, guiding, teaching, and walking alongside us.

In our busy lives, let us take time to seek Him in our own "deserted places," where we can connect with Him deeply. Remember, He is not just a distant figure; He is our constant companion, ready to help us navigate life's challenges. Let us embrace His presence and invite Him into every moment of our day. 

That's it for this podcast. Remember, Jesus loves you and is just a prayer away. 

The God of the New

This is Follow Jesus Radio encouraging you to have faith in Jesus Christ and follow him daily. The title of this devotional thought is: The God of the New.

Revelation 21:1 (BSB):
"Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth,for the first heaven and earth had passed away, and the sea was no more."

God is not a God of patchwork fixes—He is the God of new creation. John does not describe a repaired world, but a completely new one. The old, corrupted by sin, is gone.

From Genesis to Revelation, this is God’s redemptive plan. Sin didn’t merely damage creation—it corrupted it entirely. So God doesn’t improve it; He replaces it. Scripture says if anyone is in Christ, they are a new creation (2 Corinthians 5:17). What God does in the believer now, He will one day do for the entire universe.

This shows us who God is: He makes all things new. And the only way to be part of that new creation is to be made new through faith in Jesus Christ, So the question is simple: have you been made new?

Proclaiming Gods Favor

This is Follow Jesus Radio encouraging you to have faith in Jesus Christ and follow him daily. The title of this devotional thought is: Proclaiming Gods Favor.

In Luke 4:19, Jesus declares, "to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor." This powerful statement marks the beginning of His ministry, revealing His mission to bring hope, healing, and redemption to the world. The "year of the Lord’s favor" signifies a time of grace, where God’s blessings and mercy are abundantly available to all.

As followers of Christ, we are called to continue this proclamation. Just as Jesus announced God’s favor, we are to share the good news of His love and grace with those around us. This means reaching out to the brokenhearted, the oppressed, and the lost, offering them the hope that we have found in Him.

In 2 Corinthians 5:20, we are reminded that we are Christ’s ambassadors, entrusted with the message of reconciliation. This is a privilege and a responsibility. We can proclaim the Lord’s favor through our words, actions, and the way we live our lives.

Let us be bold in sharing this message of hope. Whether through acts of kindness, sharing our testimonies, or simply being present for someone in need, we can reflect the love of Christ and proclaim His favor in a world that desperately needs it.

Let’s pray: "Lord, thank You for the year of Your favor. Help us to boldly proclaim Your love and grace to those around us, reflecting Your light in a dark world. Amen."

Jesus Anointed You

This is Follow Jesus Radio encouraging you to have faith in Jesus Christ and follow him daily. The title of this devotional thought is: Jesus Anointed You.

In 1 John 2:20, we read, "But you have an anointing from the Holy One, and you all have knowledge." This verse reminds us that as believers, we are not left to navigate our faith alone. The anointing from the Holy One, which is the Holy Spirit, equips us with divine insight and understanding.

This anointing is a gift that leads us directly to the words of Jesus. When we seek the truth, the Holy Spirit guides us to the teachings of Christ, illuminating our hearts and minds. Jesus said in John 14:26, "But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, he will teach you all things and bring to your remembrance all that I have said to you."

As we meditate on Scripture, we can trust that the Holy Spirit is at work within us, helping us to grasp the depth of God’s Word. This anointing empowers us to live out our faith, to discern truth from falsehood, and to grow in our relationship with Christ. 

When we face challenges or uncertainties, we can rely on this anointing to remind us of Jesus' promises and teachings. It encourages us to seek His wisdom in prayer and to immerse ourselves in the Scriptures. 

Let us remember that this anointing is not just for knowledge but for transformation. As we allow the Holy Spirit to work in us, we become more like Christ, reflecting His love and grace to those around us. 

So, as you go about your day, lean into the anointing you have received. Trust that the Holy Spirit will guide you to the words of Jesus, providing you with the knowledge and strength you need to navigate life’s journey.
