Monday Meditations
The ultimate goal of redemption is to make us worshipers. The Lord Jesus Christ said: “…True worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for the Father is seeking such people to worship him.” (John 4:23 ESV
Worship, while difficult to define, is the result of being occupied with Christ – His person and work.
This weekly meditation is prepared by Dr. Sandy Higgins. Its purpose is to give believers truth to think about and develop in their own minds and hearts throughout the week. Ultimately, as the week progresses, daily worship will result in hearts full of adoration for the Lord Jesus on the Lord’s Day (Sunday) as believers gather to remember Him.
Dr. A.J. Higgins is a former Editor of the Christian magazine, Truth and Tidings and is well known in many parts of the world for his relevant and clear Bible teaching. He lives in New Jersey with his wife Ruth.

Mordecai
Mordecai risked his life to be a blessing to his people. Christ gave His life to be a blessing to all humanity. Mordecai brought temporal blessings to his people; Christ has brought eternal blessings to His own.
A Man
Isaiah 32:2 “A man shall be as a hiding place from the wind, and a covert from the tempest, as rivers of water in a dry place, as the shadow of a great rock in weary land.”
Son and Servant
God has always found everything His heart desired in His Son. No one else could possibly satisfy the infinite heart of God apart from the Son.
A Distillation of Doctrine
“I came forth from the Father and have come into the world; I am leaving the world again and going to the Father.” John 16:26 Consider the distillation of doctrine in this brief Bible verse.

The Bones of Joseph
Moses took the bones of Joseph with him, for he had made the sons of Israel solemnly swear, saying, “God will surely take care of you, and you shall carry my bones from here with you.” Exodus 13:19
