I Am a Family Member

Today Daily Devotional ·

2025/05/07

“Whoever does the will of my Father in heaven is my brother and sister and mother.”— Matthew 12:50 Maybe you have had the opportunity to attend a family reunion or an extended family gathering recently. Family members can connect with cousins, aunts, uncles, grandparents, and others that they may not have seen in a while. Gatherings like these can be meaningful, uniting everyone under a common heritage, a family tree. As a believer in Christ, I am a child of God—and so is every other believer

I Am a Child of God

2025/05/06

To all who did receive him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God. . . . — John 1:12 Because of Jesus and his finished work, all who believe in him are given “the right to become children of God.” In other words, we can become God’s permanent sons and daughters. Each of us can be a child of the King, with a loving Father and a family to belong to. The bedrock of my identity is that I have a tender, compassionate, loving heavenly Father whose eyes are always

I Am Beloved

2025/05/05

“You are precious and honored in my sight, and . . . I love you. . . .” — Isaiah 43:4 God created you in order to love you and to share a loving relationship with you. That is why you exist—to be cherished by your Creator and to reciprocate that love to him and radiate that love to others. For each one of us, this is the greatest foundational truth we can learn about our existence, and it helps immensely to shape our identity and sense of purpose. Like many of us, though, you may not always feel

Finding My Identity

Today Daily Devotional ·

2025/05/04

Paul, a servant of Christ Jesus, called to be an apostle and set apart for the gospel of God. . . . — Romans 1:1 “What do you want to be when you grow up?” Maybe you heard this question as a child or a teenager. Our responses usually focus on some kind of career path or occupation. And as we grow older, we realize that we need some kind of work or career to help us with the costs of living. Yet consider the nuance of the question. It doesn’t ask, “What do you want to do?” It asks, “What do you

Anchored to Christ

2025/05/03

Believers in humble circumstances ought to take pride in their high position. But the rich should take pride in their humiliation. . . .— James 1:9 Many people today are engaged in a battle for the right to define themselves. It’s as if they are saying, “I will invent or reinvent myself, and you must accept me for who I choose to be.” But this places immense pressure on people. It also brings on volatility and exhaustion as people try to navigate life together. God recognizes our need for a

A Profound Transformation

Today Daily Devotional ·

2025/05/02

If anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come. The old has gone, the new is here!— 2 Corinthians 5:17 Maybe you have heard some of the profound “I am” statements of Jesus: “I am the bread of life”; “I am the light of the world”; “I am the good shepherd” (John 6:35; 8:12; 10:11, 14). Jesus lived an effective, purposeful life because he knew his identity. With unwavering clarity, he knew he was the Son of God sent to redeem the world. As we explore the meaning of our identity this month, we’ll

Who Am I?

Today Daily Devotional ·

2025/05/01

God created mankind in his own image, in the image of God he created them. . . .— Genesis 1:27 Throughout history, human beings have grappled with three fundamental questions: Who am I? Where do I fit in? What am I supposed to do? These questions have gnawed at us since ancient times. They have shaped our understanding of ourselves and our place in the world. At the core of these lies the question of identity as we try to figure out who we really are. Our world today often tells us we have the

The Messiah

Today Daily Devotional ·

2025/04/30

These are written that you may believe that Jesus is the Messiah, the Son of God, and that by believing you may have life in his name.— John 20:31 This brief note at the end of John’s gospel account sums up the purpose of Jesus’ coming. Through all of the other characters we have met and learned about in the story of Jesus, and through all of the things that took place in connection with Jesus’ life, death, and resurrection, the main point has always been that Jesus is the Messiah. Jesus is the

Matthias

2025/04/29

They cast lots, and the lot fell to Matthias; so he was added to the eleven apostles. — Acts 1:26 At a professional basketball game, have you looked at all of the players sitting on the bench? Most of them still have their warmups on and aren’t sweating at all. They all have plenty of skills, or they wouldn’t even be allowed to sit on that bench. They were probably stars at whatever previous level of basketball they played. But for now they sit on the bench and patiently wait for a turn to play. I

The Eleven

Today Daily Devotional ·

2025/04/28

The eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain where Jesus had told them to go. — Matthew 28:16 When our kids were old enough to look after themselves at home while Mom and Dad went out, we always had lots of instructions for them. Feed the dog, water the plants, vacuum the living room, load the dishwasher, and be in bed by 10 p.m. In our absence we wanted things to get done, and we needed our kids to know they had to get them done. In some ways, it seems, Jesus had a similar plan when he

Peter One More Time

Today Daily Devotional ·

2025/04/27

The third time he said to him, “Simon son of John, do you love me?” Peter was hurt because Jesus asked him the third time. . . .— John 21:17 Jesus’ questions parallel Peter’s three denials. On the night Jesus was arrested, Peter was asked three times if he was associated with Jesus, and each time Peter said no (John 18:15-18, 25-27). Now Jesus asks Peter three times, “Do you love me?” And while Peter is obviously hurt by this, no doubt Jesus was hurt by Peter’s denials as well. The rebuilding of

The Fishermen

Today Daily Devotional ·

2025/04/26

Jesus appeared again to his disciples, by the Sea of Galilee. — John 21:1 If you’re an expert at something and have done it for a long time, it can be difficult to take advice from someone else. In our reading today, though, we find that even though Jesus’ disciples are experienced fishermen, they take advice from a stranger who calls out to them from the shore. Maybe they go along with this advice because they have been out all night and have caught nothing. Fishing on the Sea of Galilee could be

The Travelers

2025/04/25

That same day two of them were going to a village called Emmaus, about seven miles from Jerusalem. — Luke 24:13 A friend of mine went to his kids’ sports event, and he found a seat next to a random stranger in the stands. They started a conversation and talked for most of the game. It was only after people pointed out to him later that the person he was talking to during the game was a retired famous athlete. He had had no idea. Cleopas and his fellow traveler had known Jesus and had interacted

Thomas

Today Daily Devotional ·

2025/04/24

Now Thomas (also known as Didymus), one of the Twelve, was not with the disciples when Jesus came. — John 20:24 I can understand Thomas’s doubt. For whatever reason, he wasn’t with the other disciples when Jesus first visited them after his resurrection, so he hadn’t seen Jesus firsthand. Maybe he should have taken the disciples’ word for it when they told him they had seen Jesus. Maybe he should have had more faith. Or maybe he was just an untrusting sort of person. Whatever the case, Thomas said

The Disciples

Today Daily Devotional ·

2025/04/23

On . . . that first day of the week, when the disciples were together, with the doors locked for fear of the Jewish leaders, Jesus came and stood among them and said, “Peace be with you!” — John 20:19 The disciples were hiding together behind locked doors in the days after Jesus’ death. They weren’t just afraid of being recognized or ridiculed for following a teacher that had been sentenced and crucified. They feared for their lives. They were afraid of what the Jewish leaders might do to try to

The Women

2025/04/22

On the first day of the week, very early in the morning, the women took the spices they had prepared and went to the tomb. — Luke 24:1 When they went to Jesus’ tomb on Sunday morning, the women expected to find Jesus’ body there. They had prepared spices for his burial and a time of mourning. But when they got there, the stone was rolled away and Jesus’ body was gone. Suddenly they saw two men in gleaming clothes who told them that Jesus wasn’t there but had risen from the dead, just as he had

Peter Yet Again

Today Daily Devotional ·

2025/04/21

“Go, tell his disciples and Peter, ‘He is going ahead of you into Galilee. There you will see him, just as he told you.’” — Mark 16:7 We might not like to be singled out, but many of us know what that’s like. It may be for a special honor, or it may be for doing something wrong. Either way, being singled out can be embarrassing and make us want to hide. Peter was singled out by Jesus here. And while Peter may have gulped deeply when he heard about this, it wasn’t a bad thing. Peter had denied

Mary Magdalene

2025/04/20

Jesus said to her, “Mary.”— John 20:16 On the morning of Jesus’ resurrection, Mary Magdalene went to visit his tomb early—and when she saw the stone rolled away, she quickly went to tell Jesus’ disciples. They came and saw and then returned to where they were staying. But Mary couldn’t leave. She was overcome with sorrow about Jesus’ death and couldn’t imagine life without him. So she lingered in the garden and wept. Through her tears she saw two angels in the tomb. She explained why she was

Joseph

Today Daily Devotional ·

2025/04/19

Later, Joseph of Arimathea asked Pilate for the body of Jesus. Now Joseph was a disciple of Jesus, but secretly because he feared the Jewish leaders. — John 19:38 Sometimes it’s easier to hide what we believe than to share it openly. This can happen especially when it comes to talking about our faith. In some situations we can be afraid of being ridiculed or of losing status or even of being harmed for our beliefs. Joseph of Arimathea seems to have been in a position like that. He was a disciple

The Centurion and the Guards

Today Daily Devotional ·

2025/04/18

“Surely he was the Son of God!” — Matthew 27:54 Have you ever seen something that was so amazing you just couldn’t stop talking about it? Maybe it was something incredible that happened at a special event. Or something you saw while hiking or traveling, or in a TV documentary. Whatever it was, it was so astonishing that you had to tell everyone around you about it. That was the reaction of the centurion and the guards who watched over Jesus’ execution. They saw everything that happened to him. And
