Sustained by the Risen Son (Thursday)
Week 5 - Thursday
1 Corinthians 8:6
yet for us there is but one God, the Father, from whom are all things and we exist for Him; and one Lord, Jesus Christ, by whom are all things, and we exist through Him.

Easter reminds us that Jesus is not just a teacher, not just a miracle worker, but the Lord of all creation. Paul tells us that everything — our very existence — comes through Him. The One who spoke the universe into being (John 1:3) is the same one who went to the cross, bore our sins, and rose in victory.
The resurrection isn’t just proof that Jesus defeated death; it’s confirmation that He is Lord over all things. Without Him, nothing exists. And because He lives, we truly live. His resurrection means our redemption is real, our future is secure, and our lives have purpose.
Sometimes, we struggle to live as if Jesus is truly Lord. We let fear, doubt, or distractions take His place. But Easter calls us back to the truth: Jesus reigns. Our lives — every moment, every breath — are sustained by Him.
Today, reflect on what it means for Jesus to be your Lord. Does your life reflect His rule? As we celebrate the risen Son, may we surrender fully to the One through whom all things exist.

Reflection and Prayer
Since all things exist through Jesus, how does recognizing Him as Lord shape the way you live, trust, and find purpose in Him?
Risen Lord Jesus, You are the source of all life, and through You, we exist. Thank You for Your victory over sin and death, for making a way for us to know the Father. Help us to live each day in surrender to You trusting in Your power and walking in Your truth. May our lives reflect Your rule and bring glory to Your name. Amen.
