Matthew 24:7-13

I am intrigued by the miracle of life formed at conception. Scientists have discovered that light happens at that moment—the moment life happens, there is light! This is another reminder of the power of Christ's Resurrection. That same power will one day bring us into His everlasting Light! As we reflect on the Light and the Life of the World, may we live as if it is Easter daily!

From Genesis to Revelation, God’s heart has always been for every tribe, tongue, and nation to know and worship Him. This 3-day Bible plan will take you on a journey through Scripture to see how God’s mission began, how Jesus commanded His followers to carry it forward, and why the call is both urgent and joy-filled today. You’ll discover that the Great Commission is not just for pastors or missionaries—it’s for every believer, including you. Be inspired, challenged, and equipped to say, “Here I am, send me.”

Nobody knows the exact time of Christ’s return, but we know for a fact that the signs of the time will include hardships and tribulations. We need to be more vigilant, making firm our faith in Christ, and pursuing the accomplishment of the great commission to the best of our efforts, for the glory and honor of our God.

In this five-day devotional, read Scripture alongside passages adapted from Labor With Hope: Gospel Meditations on Pregnancy, Childbirth, and Motherhood by Gloria Furman that speak of limitless power and strength that Christ offers to all who rely on him, enabling women to truly labor with hope.
