One Reason

"Therefore, in all things He had to be made like His brethren,

that He might be a merciful and faithful High Priest . . ."

Hebrews 2:17

Today's Bible Reading: Hebrews 2:14-17.

Jesus Christ, came for one reason: to reconcile us to God. God created us, and our lives are only fulfilled when we know Him and follow His will for our lives. But our sins have turned us away from God, and our greatest need is to have our sins forgiven and our lives transformed by His power within us. Through His death on the cross Jesus made this possible, and that is why He came. He declared, “For the Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost” (Luke 19:10). 

The greatest discovery you will ever make is that God loves you, and Christ gave His life so you could come to know God personally. May today truly become a time of celebration for you, as you turn to Christ for the forgiveness you need and commit your life without reserve to Him. 

Prayer:   Lord Jesus Christ, thank You, that you came to save me. Amen.

Give And Take

"Grace be with all those who love our Lord Jesus Christ in sincerity."

Ephesians 6:24

Today's Bible Reading: Mark 12:28-34.

Certain relationships in life require from the parties involved only moderate degrees of devotion. A certain degree of reserve and distance seems to be suitable in such relations as these. But there are other relationships in life where all this is changed when friendship becomes love. Two hearts give themselves to each other to be no longer two, but one. Instead of being separated, their interest and paths are now together. The reserve and the distance suitable to mere friendships is fatal in real love. Love gives all and must have all in return. The wishes of the other party become binding obligations; and the deepest desire of each heart is to know every secret wish and longing of the other, in order that it may do all in its power to please those desires. Is that the kind of love, affection, and obedience you have for Christ? 

Prayer: Lord God, I say I love You and yet so often it is a selfish, a “taking” love. Let me love You in such a way that Your desires will be mine. In Christ's name I pray. Amen.

What God Expects

"He who is faithful in what is least is faithful also in much; . . ."

Luke 16:10

Today's Bible Reading:  Luke 16:1-13.

What God expects, and all God expects, is that we dedicate completely all of our talents and gifts to Him. That is the meaning of the parable of the talents in Matthew, chapter 25. Read this parable, and you will see that we are always rewarded because of our faithfulness. You can be just as faithful as anyone and have the commendation of the Lord. Take the one talent you have and invest it in eternal things. Some talented people lose their reward because they do things to be seen of men. Some untalented people lose their reward because they fail to dedicate what they have, because it is not noticed by men. Both have sinned equally. How are you investing your time, talents and gifts?

Prayer: Let me not be concerned with the praise of men, but may my talent be completely yielded to You, Father God. In name of the Lord Jesus, I pray. Amen.
