TUESDAY

May God, who puts all things together, makes all things whole, Who made a lasting mark through the sacrifice of Jesus, the sacrifice of blood that sealed the eternal covenant, Who led Jesus, our Great Shepherd, up and alive from the dead, now put you together, provide you with everything you need to please Him, make us into what gives Him most pleasure, by means of the sacrifice of Jesus, the Messiah. All glory to Jesus forever and always! Oh, yes, yes, yes.—Hebrews 13:20, 21 (MSG)

In Hebrews 13:18-25, we are given a glimpse of our power source—the God of peace—and the purpose of that power—to accomplish God’s will.
“What is peace?” It is unending, abiding contentment that transcends even the most trying of circumstances. It is our emotional health. Christ reveals God to us, who intends life to be lived in peace.
Christ is the great Shepherd of the sheep. There are two key characteristics of sheep: They lack wisdom, and they lack weapons. Sheep go astray; sheep are helpless to defend themselves. Thus, sheep need a shepherd.
Scripture likens us to sheep, and Jesus is our great Shepherd. Jesus is our Resource and Provision. Jesus guides and Jesus protects.
“How?” The cross and the resurrection: “God… brought Him back from the dead...because of the blood of the eternal covenant.” The cross is the end of self-reliance; the resurrection is the power of our new lives. By the cross and the resurrection, Jesus planted within us the greatest power of peace—a power that heals and makes whole.
The result this is that God will equip us with what we need to do God’s will. As we yield to Christ’s Lordship, Christ gently adjusts our will until it aligns with His. It takes time and the transition is not always smooth. But the result is powerful: We are partners with Christ in accomplishing His will in His world.
“God will do in us what is pleasing to God.” We please God when we walk in this way and live on this basis. Our battle is already won. And it is wrapped around the most life-changing phrase ever uttered: “We can do it only with the help of Jesus Christ. Give Him glory forever and ever.” The life-giving, life-changing Presence of our indwelling Christ is transcendent power, given so we might live triumphantly. Thanks be to God!

Prayer: Now, may the God of peace, who brought again from the dead our Lord, Jesus, that great Shepherd of the sheep, through the blood of the everlasting covenant, make us perfect in every good work, to do His will; working in us that which is well-pleasing in His sight, through Jesus Christ, to whom be glory forever and ever. AMEN!
