Max Lucado Devotional 17 June 2024 Message: In Jesus’ Jurisdiction
READ TODAY’S DAILY DEVOTIONAL FOR 17TH JUNE 2024 BY MAX LUCADO
TODAY’S TOPIC: IN JESUS’ JURISDICTION
Is the dread of death robbing you your joy of life? It can.
At the age of 37, Florence told her friends her life hung by a thread, and so she went to bed. And she stayed there—for 53 years! She did die, at the age of ninety. Except for three years, Florence cowered before the giant of death. During those years she made a name for herself, not as one who suffered, but as a friend of those who did. History’s most famous nurse, Florence Nightingale lived, as a slave of death.
What about you? Jesus came to deliver those who’ve lived their lives as slaves to the fear of dying. Death sits in his jurisdiction. Psalm 139:16 (NLT) says, “You saw me before I was born. Every day of my life was recorded in your book. Every moment laid out before a single day had passed.”
