Acts 4:12
The name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth…  Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to men by whom, we must be saved.

What of Today’s Verse…

"Jesus, there’s just something about that name!"  The words to the song are right.  Salvation from what is warped and broken in our world is found in no one else.  He is our Saviour because he was willing to come to this world, bear our limitations, shame, and sin, and then triumph over them.

Let us Pray:

Through the precious name of Jesus of Nazareth, the Christ, my Lord, I thank and praise you God, Most High.  Your love has given the sacrifice for my sin and your power has given me the assurance of my resurrection from the dead.  Your Son’s willingness to spend a lifetime with us has given me a Great High Priest who intercedes with empathy for my struggles.  His example lets me know of your great love.  Thank You O God, for being so gracious and giving me such a wonderful Saviour.  Amen.

Words of Wisdom

A Moment of Joy…

A moment of true, unencumbered joy is worth more than pure gold.  You’ll think more clearly, be more motivated, feel better and be healthier, when you regularly lose yourself in joy.

Not to learn.  Not to look good on your resume.  Not for someone else.  Not to network or impress your friends.  Just for you.  Simply for the experience of being fully alive and letting yourself completely enjoy yourself.

Is that selfish?  No.  When you have more joy in your own life, you have more to give others.  By experiencing joy, you let the true person inside come to life.  And that person is overflowing with love, abundance and creativity that will add immensely to your life and the lives of those around you.

Let yourself be joyful, without guilt, without expectations.  You’ll feel the power of that joy in every part of your life.
