Acts 4:12
The name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth… Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby 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 Savior 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 Savior. Amen.
Words of Wisdom
Comfort…
God is my unfailing source of love and comfort.
Loss of any kind-anyone, anything in my life-may leave me feeling as if I am a stranger in a strange land. The familiar may seem unfamiliar, and the routine, a challenge.
Yet, as I come home in awareness to the truth that God’s loving presence is always with me, I no longer feel lost or alone. Knowing that I am eternally in the presence of divine love, I am comforted and strengthened. God’s love fills every seeming void. I hold no thought of lack.
God has given me life. I am blessed each day as my life continues to unfold in the presence and care of my Creator. As I dedicate my thoughts and intentions, my words and actions to living a fulfilling life, this is the life I experience. God is my unfailing source of love and comfort.
“This is my comfort in my affliction: for thy word hath quickened me.”-Psalm 119:50
