1Timothy 2:5-6
For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus; Who gave himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time.
What of Today’s verse
We do not need another person, no matter how mighty, pious, or special, to intercede for us before God. As his children, we can go freely, knowing that God himself has provided the perfect mediator between us and himself. That mediator alone is head of the church and chief priest before God for us. His name is Christ Jesus, our Lord.
Â
Let us Pray:
O God, you are my God, and I praise you for making yourself so available. I know that in my power, I have no right to approach you. Yet in your grace you not only provided a ransom for my sin but a mediator for my approach to you. Jesus, I thank you as well, for paying the price and staying at the Father’s side to intercede and speak for me! Thank you for making this prayer known to the Father. Amen.
Words of Wisdom
For others I am an open channel of the love, peace, and wisdom of Christ.
What can I do to make the day brighter for others? I first pray so that I am prepared to be a channel of love, peace, and understanding. Therefore I make a positive difference in the lives of others.
Â
I may write letters or make some calls, sharing fun moments from the past–knowing that we can share laughter and offer mutual support.
There is one thing I can always do: behold the Christ Presence within others. In Christ, we have life, we are loved and loving, we are wise and fulfilled.
Â
Whatever I do for others, I am acting as one creation of God blessing other beloved creations. With this intent, I do make the day brighter for them and for me.

“And the king will answer them, ‘Truly I tell you, just as you did it to one of the least of these who are members of my family, you did it to me.'”
