Good evening, brethren. 1. ED.i. *DAILY WALK WITH CHRIST* (COCIN DEVOTIONAL) *DATE:* MONDAY 27TH APRIL, 2026. *SUB-THEME:* THE CROSS: CULMINATION OF GRACE. *TOPIC:* ETERNAL LIFE. *TEXT:* JOHN 3:14-18. 14. Just as Moses lifted up the snake in the wilderness, so the Son of Man must be lifted up, 15. that everyone who believes may have eternal life in Him.” 16. For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life. 17. For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through Him. 18. Whoever believes in Him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because they have not believed in the name of God’s one and only Son. *TOPIC:* ETERNAL LIFE. *THE MESSAGE:* Jesus Christ is the ultimate source of life - His mission on earth centres on offering abundant and eternal life to all who trust Him. Eternal life is not a reward for righteousness but a gift made available through faith in Christ. This divine gift is a pure expression of God's love and grace. Those who believe in Him are granted this new life and called to walk in His light. By so doing, they reflect His light to others, becoming testimonies who lead people back to Jesus. Alas, those who reject this gift remain in spiritual darkness and are condemned already. Do you have this life that Jesus offers? He is calling you through the gospel message today. Open your heart and let Him in (Rev. 3:20). *REFLECTION:* Accept God's love. *PRAYER:* Father, thank You for eternal life through Your begotten Son, Jesus. Amen. *MEMORY VERSE FOR THE MONTH:* COLOSSIANS 2:15. "And having disarmed the powers and authorities, He made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them by the cross." *TODAY'S BIBLE READING PLAN:* 2 CHRONICLES 24-25. ED.ii.

Luke 23:34 Precious Pardon They killed the One so long expected – crucifying Israel’s promised Messiah.. not knowing He bore their sins on His shoulders, so that they could be forgiven. And yet a precious pardon was prayed over every guilty party, Jew and Gentile alike. Forgiveness was God’s heart of love towards the perpetrators of this heinous crime.. for in Isaiah we read: He bore the sin of many and interceded for the transgressors. Isaiah 53:12 Gracious Intercession His intercession reached back to include all sin, beginning in the garden of Paradise – a pardon extending forward to pay for every mortal sin, including yours and mine. Only the wisdom of a holy God could have designed such an act of gracious mercy. Only the love of our precious Saviour could have implored such a powerful pardon – and His death purchased and procured God’s gracious forgiveness for us all. Father Forgive His entire life was a march towards this final goal for He came to save His people. He came from His home in heaven, knowing that cruel crucifixion awaited Him. How staggering that His prayer was uttered as the nails were driven into His flesh: Father forgive them, for they know not what they do. Lord of Glory They knew in part what they did, for in every respect they knew He was innocent.. yet had they known the fuller consequences, Jesus would never have been crucified, for had they known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory.1 Corinthians 2:8 But the Lord Jesus had to die if we guilty sinners were to live. Had the Lord of glory not died our sins could not have been forgiven. Propitiatory Sacrifice Perhaps this is the epitome of the goodness of God, Who turns all evil to good. God’s propitiatory sacrifice for sin was the product of history’s most heinous crime. The crucifixion of God’s Son, opened the floodgates of His gracious forgiveness – and His death paid for the full price of humanities sin – all the sin of all men, so that all that believe in His name will be saved. Precious Fruit Since His substitutionary death, sin is not the real barrier between man and God: but what think ye of Christ – for whoever believes in Him is not condemned. But whoever does not believe stands condemned already because he has not believed in the name of God’s one and only Son. Heaven is open to all who believe that Christ paid the full price for their sins. Salvation is the gift of God to all that believe in the name of His only begotten Son. Forgiveness is the precious fruit on the tree of life to all that accept His forgiveness. What Think Ye.. Christ’s substitutionary death at Calvary paid the price for the sin of the world. His precious pardon was prayed over every guilty person, Jew and Gentile alike. Forgiveness is Father-heart of God’s great love towards every guilty sinner – believing on the Lord Jesus Christ is the only requirement – What think ye of Christ?

Evening Prayer Let my prayer be set forth before thee [as] incense; [and] the lifting up of my hands [as] the evening sacrifice. ⏤ Psalm 141:2 There is a time for heart searching in every evening, to see how the day has been spent. ⏤ Octavius Winslow Lord, we come to You; may You hear our voice when we call upon You. Let our prayer come before You like incense, and the lifting up of our hands be like the evening sacrifice. Give us Your peace. In the quiet evening time, may Your blessing rest upon our home. Forgive the sins and failures of this day. If we didn’t live together in all ways with affection as a family, if we were impatient with each other or lacked Christlike kindness, we ask for Your forgiveness. If any of us have hurt another’s heart with a sharp word or unkind act, may You heal the wounds with Your grace. May we forgive one another, just as You forgive us, and pour out Your love in response to the things that grieve You. Our hearts long tonight to enter more deeply into the experience of Your wonderful love. Help us to know more and more of it. Pour it into our souls, filling us with its tenderness and grace. May we immerse ourselves in the ocean of Your love, as one bathes in the sea. May its blessedness surround us like the air we breathe. Teach us more and more by Your Spirit the deep meaning and infinite riches of Your love. May we be so filled with Your love that we will love others just as You love us. We are not afraid of the darkness because You are with us. The darkness and the light are both alike to You. You are present in the gloom of night just as truly as in the brightness of noonday. So we are not afraid in the darkness with You by our side. We will lie down on our beds in peace because You will be our keeper. Remember our neighbors tonight. Comfort the dying and console the grieving. We ask all this in the name of our Redeemer. Amen. https://www.youdevotion.com/daily-prayer/miller/22/evening #taptapstudio #youdevotion.
