Meditate on these words about and from
Jesus.
Jesus spoke to the people once more and
said, "I am the light of the world. If you follow me, you won't have to
walk in darkness, because you will have the light that leads to life." The
Pharisees replied, "You are making those claims about yourself! Such
testimony is not valid." Jesus told them, "These claims are valid
even though I make them about myself. For I know where I came from and where I
am going, but you don't know this about me. You judge me by human standards,
but I do not judge anyone. And if I did, my judgment would be correct in every
respect because I am not alone. The Father who sent me is with me. Your own law
says that if two people agree about something, their witness is accepted as
fact. I am one witness, and my Father who sent me is the other."
"Where is your father?" they asked. Jesus answered, "Since you
don't know who I am, you don't know who my Father is. If you knew me, you would
also know my Father." Jesus made these statements while he was teaching in
the section of the Temple known as the Treasury. But he was not arrested,
because his time had not yet come. John 8:12-20
Do you wish you were alone sometimes—when kids
are fighting…or you are in a disagreement with your spouse? There can be a lot
of extra stress when we are restricted to stay at home…and when there is financial
stress within the home and family. Guard your hearts and minds against abuse...physical or mental. It is easy to say…Trust in the Lord…He will
provide…He has promised, but to actually trust when there is no milk or eggs in
the fridge is hard or when someone you love is angry and in your face. Seek out help at local sites. Most of all…seek Jesus. God
is our help. He provides the light for our souls whether we are alone by
ourselves or alone in a group.
God is our refuge and strength, always ready
to help in times of trouble. Psalm 46:1
If you don’t know Jesus as your Savior,
seek Him while there is still time. Consider the ABC’s of salvation.
A – Acknowledge or Admit that you are a
sinner.
No one is righteous—not even one. Romans
3:10
For everyone has sinned; we all fall short
of God's glorious standard. Romans 3:23
For the wages of sin is death,
but the free gift of God is eternal life through Christ Jesus our Lord.
Romans 6:23
B – Believe in your heart that Jesus is the
Son of God
If you confess with your mouth that Jesus is
Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be
saved. For it is by believing in your heart that you are made right with God,
and it is by confessing with your mouth that you are saved. Romans 10:9-10
C – Call on the Name of the Lord
Everyone
who calls on the name of the LORD will be saved. Romans 10:13
Don’t wait…make your decision to believe in
Jesus today. Life is short…we don’t know when our time will be up…or when the
Lord will return for His church.
Prayer
~ Lord, You have taught…We are made right with God by placing our faith in
Jesus Christ. And this is true for everyone who believes, no matter who we are.
Romans 3:22. Let our faith in You grow and spill out onto those around
us…encouraging and strengthening our hearts. Let your light shine into our
lives—bringing hope, peace and strength.
