A Memorial to the Cross: April 17, 2025

On the night before His death, with the cross just hours away, Jesus said He was eager to enjoy one last Passover meal with His disciples (see Luke 22:15). Why? Today’s devotional explores the purpose of the Lord’s Supper.

One out of every seven Christians around the globe suffers intense persecution. As hatred toward followers of Jesus increases, we will be forced to either take a stand for Christ or retreat into cowardice. We will be forced to either proclaim our love for Jesus or deny our Lord. 

That’s why Dr. Michael Youssef has written his newest book God’s Final Call. In this timely teaching from Revelation 2-3, Dr. Youssef leads you through important warnings and uplifting encouragements from Christ Himself delivered in His seven letters to the seven churches of Revelation—words just as relevant today as they were to the first century church. Jesus’ letters teach His followers how to live victoriously in times of peril and hostile opposition, so may we heed them closely as the world grows darker and more evil.
