Worthy of Praise

"Every house is built by someone,

but He who built all things is God. "

 Hebrews 3:4

Today's Bible Reading: Hebrews 3:1-6.

From the spiral staircase to the expansive bedroom, from the hardwood floors to the plush carpeting, from the huge laundry room to the well-organised office, the estate agent showed a potential home to the young couple. At every corner they turned, they raved about its beauty: “This house is amazing!” Then the agent responded with something they thought a bit unusual yet true: “I will pass on your compliment to the builder. The one who built the house deserves the praise; not the house itself or the one who shows it off.”

The estate agent’s words echo the writer of Hebrews: “The builder of the house has greater honour than the house itself” (3:3). The writer was comparing the faithfulness of Jesus, the Son of God, with the prophet Moses (v 1-6). Though Moses was privileged to speak to God face-to-face and to see His form (Numbers 12:8), he was still only “a servant” in the house of God” (Hebrews 3:5). Christ as the Creator (1:2,10) deserves honour as the divine “builder of everything” and as the Son “over God’s house” (3:3,6). God’s house is His people.

When we serve God faithfully, it is Jesus Christ the divine builder who deserves the honour. Any praise we, God’s house, receive ultimately belongs to Him.

Prayer: Dear Lord Jesus, You deserve all my praise. May my life and words give You that praise on this day. Amen.

Encouragement

"looking for the blessed hope and glorious appearing

of our great God and Saviour Jesus Christ. 

Titus 2:13 

Today's Bible Reading:  Titus 2:11-15.

One of the best ways to get rid of discouragement is to remember that Christ is coming again. The most thrilling, glorious truth in all the world is the Second Coming of Jesus Christ. When we look around and see pessimism on every side, we should remember the Bible is the only Book in the world that predicts the future. The Bible is more modern than tomorrow morning’s newspaper. The Bible accurately foretells the future, and it says that the consummation of all things shall be the coming again of Jesus Christ to this earth. If your life is dismal, depressed, and gloomy today, Christ can turn those dark clouds inside out. The sunlight of His love can still shine into the darkest part of your life. 

Prayer: Longing to see Your face, Christ Jesus, I rejoice in the anticipation of Your coming again! Amen.

The Light of Day

"For God so loved the world that He gave

His only begotten Son, that whoever believes

in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. "

 John 3:16

Today's Bible Reading:  John 3:1-21.

John 3:16, is a very well-known verse, and is a small part of a big conversation. A Pharisee named Nicodemus sought out Jesus under the cover of night with some questions. When Jesus quickly turned the conversation to the kingdom of God (v 3), Nicodemus struggled to keep up. 

Jesus told the Pharisee that only believing in Him—the Son of God—would provide admittance into the coming kingdom. And that belief would remake all those who believed (v 5; see Genesis 1:1-3). But then Christ subtly chided Nicodemus. He pointed out that those who truly wish to do what is right will do it in the light of day—not the cover of night. If Nicodemus (or anyone) wants to truly believe on Jesus Christ, it requires obedience in the full light of day (John 3:19-21). 

Therefore, the call of Christ is not merely to cease curiosity or hidden interest, but to a bold, open-hearted faith that steps into the light, trusting in Him alone for new life and entrance into the kingdom of God

Prayer: Dear heavenly Father, thank You for the hope found in Your Son, Jesus Christ, and in His name I prayer. Amen.
