Devotion
God had a plan from the beginning… Before me & you, before viruses, before sickness at all, before Adam & Eve in the garden, even before the world was created… It was always about Jesus. He was never God’s “plan B”, He IS THE story… The headline for eternity… The centre of everything… The beginning and the end. It’s always been about Jesus. But get this... if Jesus Christ was always the plan, then the Body of Christ was too. I’m talking about me and you. I’m talking about the Church. It’s not just a building or an organisation or a good idea.. This was God’s idea from the beginning. The church is His Bride, His Body, His Family, His Army… we are the JC Squad. The Bible tells us that Jesus is the head of His church…we are His Squad.. and Jesus Himself said that He was gonna build His church, and that not even hell could stop it. (Matthew 16:18)
Did you know that you are part of something so significant? The church was God’s eternal plan to show the world what He is like. But it gets better… He’s chosen you to be part of it. Can I invite you to join us for the next week as we read about who the JC Squad is? Maybe your understanding of what the church should be is based off someone else’s opinion or perspective.. But now it’s time to ask God to speak to your heart from His word, & to reveal to you what He calls a “great mystery” (Ephesians 5:32).. The eternal plan.. of Jesus & His church. The JC Squad.
