Life Along the Way

In “Jesus Through Us”, you will be an eyewitness as Jesus multiplies His ministry by sending out His disciples, challenges His followers to serve God and others wholeheartedly, heals lepers, raises Lazarus from the dead, faces plots against His life, and rides triumphantly as King into Jerusalem, where He speaks of the resurrection of believers just before His own death and resurrection. Each day features a Scripture reading, a "Life Lessons with Jesus" segment, questions for reflection, and a prayer. Experiencing life with Jesus will lead you to become more deeply committed to God and serving others in His name. “Jesus Through Us” is the third book in the “Life Along the Way” series, which takes you through the life of Jesus via all four Gospels and the first chapter of Acts. In four 90-day devotionals, you can travel with Jesus for a full year if you wish, from His birth, to His ministry and miracles, to His relationships with the people around Him, to His death, resurrection, and ascension.

When you personally experience Jesus's journey through His earthly life-sharing in His ministry, encounters, prayers, joys, sorrows, dangers, and miracles-that journey will shape and direct your own life in unforgettable ways. Jesus in Us: A 90-Day Devotional offers a transformational invitation to walk in Jesus's footsteps. In this book, you will follow Jesus as He celebrates the Last Supper, is falsely condemned to death, suffers the agony of crucifixion, is gloriously raised from the dead, and ascends to heaven-with the promise of empowering us by His Spirit, who will live within us and enable us continue Jesus's ministry on earth. Each day features a Scripture reading, a "Life Lessons" segment, questions for reflection, and a prayer. Jesus promised to send us His own Spirit so that the historical truth of "Jesus with us" could become the powerful reality of "Jesus in us" for all time and eternity. Jesus in Us is the fourth book in the Life Along the Way series, which takes you through the life of Jesus in all four Gospels and the first chapter of Acts. In four 90-day devotionals, you can travel with Jesus for a full year if you wish-from His birth, to His ministry and miracles, to His relationships with the people around Him, to His death, resurrection, and ascension. The three other devotionals, which you can read either sequentially or in any order, are #1, Jesus with Us: Meeting Him Where He Began, #2, Jesus Among Us: Walking with Him in His Ministry and Miracles, and #3, Jesus Through Us: Following His Example in Love and Service. As you journey each day with the Savior, you will learn to love Jesus and love like Jesus.
