The secret disciple

Episode 1057

Angus Buchan

God uses ordinary people to advance His kingdom.

John 19:38-42
"Later, Joseph of Arimathea asked Pilate for the body of Jesus. Now Joseph was a disciple of Jesus, but secretly because he feared the Jewish leaders. With Pilate’s permission, he came and took the body away. He was accompanied by Nicodemus, the man who earlier had visited Jesus at night. Nicodemus brought a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about seventy-five pounds. Taking Jesus’ body, the two of them wrapped it, with the spices, in strips of linen. This was in accordance with Jewish burial customs. At the place where Jesus was crucified, there was a garden, and in the garden a new tomb, in which no one had ever been laid. Because it was the Jewish day of Preparation and since the tomb was nearby, they laid Jesus there."

Forgiveness

Matthew 18:21–22

We have to forgive others no matter what, so that God can forgive us for our sins, and so that we ourselves can move on with our lives. Some of us even need to forgive God for something we fee that He has done for us. Unforgiveness will eat away at us. Matthew 18:21-22.

Guard your mind

2 Corinthians 10:4–5

2 Corinthians 10:4-5. Our battle in this world is in our minds, not our hearts. When we put on the armour of God, we put on the helmet of Salvation to guard our minds. Let's watch over and be sure to guard our minds and make sure we are speaking life.

Our Deliverer

Psalm 37:40, Psalm 20:7, Proverbs 3:5–6

Psalm 37:40. Whatever you are going through, the Lord will deliver you, if you allow Him to, If you will trust in Him. Psalm 20:7. Jesus Christ has never let us down, if we cry out for help, then He will help us. Proverbs 3:5-6. He is our Deliverer.
