Sadducees, the missing link

Sadducees, the missing link



by Heather Collver



Have you enjoyed this weeks devotional? Did you learn something new? Have you resolved not to be like the Sadducees? Would you ever take religion over your relationship with Jesus?



Reading about the Sadducees, it became clear that they were in it for themselves. They were so caught up in themselves that they didn't even recognize Jesus as their Messiah. They condemned him to the cross where he died. But the awesome thing is that they did just as God knew they would all along as it was written hundreds of years earlier in prophecy, yet they missed it. So even though I look at what they did and see all their mistakes, our Jesus, our Savior was crucified because they were more concerned about themselves and then he was RESURRECTED!!!!!



How awesome is that!!!? Anyway, I pray that we don't miss the one link that will give us joy and fill us to overflowing. I pray that we will not ignore our Savior or what he did for us. I know that it is really hard at times to understand and take in all that he did for us, but that is what makes this life so much richer and fuller, our hope, our faith in what is to come. Will we take only what we want from God's Word or dive into it and receive the fruits, the gifts and the wisdom he desires for us?



Praise God, you are so awesome and I fall at your feet today. For it is our relationship with you that makes all things new, all things worth it. Lord you are glorious, you are awesome, you are amazing and I praise you today with all that I am, please empty out this heart that fills with Me and I and replace it with you, Lord. I love you.
