Poverty of Soul

“But he did not know . . . "  

Judges 16:20

Today's Bible Reading: Judges 16:18-22.

No one is more pathetic than the one who is in great need and is not aware of it. Remember Samson? Standing there in the valley of Sorek, surrounded by the lords of the Philistines, ”But he did not know that the Lord had departed from him” (Judges 16:20). It has been truly said, “No man is so ignorant as he who knows nothing and knows not that he knows nothing. No man is so sick as he who has a fatal disease and is not aware of it. No man is so poor as he who is destitute, and yet thinks he is rich.” The pitiable thing about the Pharisees was not so much their hypocrisy as it was their utter lack of knowledge of how poor they actually were in the sight of God. There is always something pathetic about a man who thinks he is rich when he is actually poor, who thinks he is good when he is actually vile, who thinks he is educated when he is actually illiterate. No matter who you are, know this; We all need Christ!

Prayer: Might I always remember the poverty of my soul before Your love invaded my life, Lord God, and I came to knew Your Son, as my Saviour. I praise You for that day. In Jesus wonderful name. Amen.

"Maranatha"- The Lord is Coning

Eye has not seen, nor ear heard,

neither have entered into the heart of man,

the things which God has prepared for them that love Him.

2 Corinthians 2:9

Bible Reading: Revelation 21:1-5.

At the close of the Bible we encounter these words, “And I saw a new heaven and a new earth; for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away” (Revelation 21:1). A new world is coming! Each time we pray in the Lord’s Prayer, “Thy kingdom come,” we should remember that that prayer will be answered. Heaven is described as a new creation in which we shall move in new bodies, possessed of new names, singing new songs, living in a new city, by a new form of government, and challenged by new prospects of eternity with social justice for all. The paradise that man lost will be regained, but it will be much more. It will not be the old one repaired, patched up, and made over. When God says, “Behold, I make all things new” (Rev 21:5), the emphasis is on all things. One day we shall live in a brand-new world. Centuries ago the apostles greeted each other with the word, “Maranatha”—the Lord is coming.

Prayer: Use me, Saviour, to hasten Maranatha, as I tell others that they, too, can be made new through Your divine Son. In His name, I pray. Amen.

None Other

“‘He who believes on the Son has everlasting life . . ."

John 3:36

Today's Bible Reading: 2 Corinthians 5:16-21. 

Today, Christianity is being compared with other religions as never before. Some so-called Christian leaders even advocate the working out of a system of morals, ethics, and religion that would bring together all the religions of the world. However, It cannot be done. Jesus Christ is unique. Why insist on the uniqueness of Christ? What did Christ bring into the world that had not appeared before? The Christian answer is that He is the supreme manifestation of God. “God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto Himself” (2 Corinthians 5:19). This is the eternal fact of our Christian faith. There is no one like the Lord Jesus Christ. He alone could say, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me” (John 14:6). There is no other Saviour, no other sacrifice for sin, and no other name by which we can be saved (Acts 4:12). To reject Christ is to remain under the wrath of God, but to believe on Him is to receive everlasting life.

Prayer: Lord Jesus Christ, beliefs come and go, but You remain—unchanging—for You are the Son of God! And I praise You. Amen.
