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.

One in Christ

There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free,

there is neither male nor female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus.


Galatians 3:28


Today's Bible Reading: Galatians 3:23-29.


In the first century, Jews stuck with Jews, Greeks with Greeks, and the rich and poor never mixed. And yet, in Romans 16: 1-16, Paul could describe the church in Rome as including Priscilla and Aquila (Jewish), Epenetus (Greek), Phoebe (a “benefactor of many,” so probably wealthy) and Philologus (a name common for slaves). What had brought such different people together? Christ Jesus—in whom there is “neither Jew nor Gentile, neither slave nor free” (Galatians 3:28). The Gospel had broken down every barrier and made them one family in Him. “For He Himself is our peace, who has made both one, and has broken down the middle wall of separation.” (Ephesians 2:14).


Prayer: Lord Jesus, I praise You for working to bring our fractured world together. Help me to do my part for You. Amen.

Unity in Scripture

. . . holy men of God spoke as they were

moved by the Holy Spirit."


2 Peter 1:21


Today's Bible Reading: 2 Peter 1:16-21.


Although one can derive inspiration from any portion of the Scripture, it is better to have an understanding of the general structure of the Bible to get the most out of it. The Old Testament is an account of a nation, Israel. Out of that nation came Jesus Christ, the Saviour of the world. The New Testament is an account of a Man, the Son of man, the Saviour. God Himself became a man, so that we might know what He is like. His appearance on the earth was the central, most important event of history. The Old Testament gives the background for this event; the New Testament tells the story of its fulfilment. You will find a unity of thought and purpose which indicates that one mind inspired the writing of the whole. When read carefully and prayerfully, we come to see that from Genesis to Revelation, the Bible points us to the Lord Jesus Christ, in whom God’s plan of salvation is perfectly fulfilled.


Prayer: Inspire me, Lord God, as I read the Bible so that I may be able to understand more clearly Your divine teachings. In Jesus name. Amen.
