What it means that Christ is praying for you today: Dave Harvey says, “Now, because of our Advocate, we receive what Christ deserved: a full hearing before our loving Father. We are not beggars hoping heaven might notice us. We are beloved children invited to make our requests known to God (Phil. 4:6). Christ was forsaken so we could be heard. His advocacy means our prayers reach the throne.”
One at a time: Andrea Sanborn wants us to consider something about how Jesus performed his miracles, “Most of his healing miracles were simply performed for one person. Just one. And even in the crowds around him, he saw each person. Why? Why not just wave his holy hand over the crowd and heal the masses? Say the word and be done with it?”
The body of Christ is disabled: Cody Watson says, “Paul’s argument, however, goes even further. He writes that “the parts of the body that seem to be weaker are indispensable” (1 Corinthians 12:22, ESV). In God’s design, the members who are often overlooked are not optional. They are necessary. The church is not simply called to tolerate every member of the body but to recognize that every member contributes something essential to the health of the whole.”
