Max Lucado’s Devotional 9th January 2025 Message:
Today’s Topic: Arrival of the Saints
The people of Paradise enjoy a much better, but still incomplete, state. They anticipate the new heaven and earth, the glorified body to be received at the rapture, and—this may surprise you—they look forward to the arrival of the rest of the saints.
In Hebrews chapter eleven the author highlights the lives of Sarah, Isaac, Jacob, Moses, and Rahab the harlot. He writes, “All these people earned a good reputation because of their faith, yet none of them received all that God had promised” (Hebrews 11:39 NLT). The writer surprises us by describing how the saints are waiting for the rest of us.
As wonderful as Paradise is, it won’t be complete until all God’s children are home.
ABOUT THE AUTHOR OF THIS DEVOTIONAL: Max Lucado is a pastor, speaker, and best-selling author who, in his own words, “writes books for people who don’t read books.” He serves the people of Oak Hills Church in San Antonio, Texas, and his message is for the hurting, the guilty, the lonely, and the discouraged: God loves you; let him.
As a writer, Max is known for combining poetic storytelling and homespun humor with the heart of a pastor. All of his trade books began as sermon series at Oak Hills Church, and his sermons all begin with Max asking himself this question: “What can I say on Sunday that will still matter on Monday?” He’s been dubbed “America’s Pastor” by Christianity Today, and “The Best Preacher in America” by Reader’s Digest.
