Second Table of God’s Law

Today Daily Devotional ·

2025/10/25

“And the second [greatest commandment] is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.” — Matthew 22:39-40 Maybe you’ve heard that one of the first steps a person takes toward becoming a murderer is to dehumanize their victim. By viewing others as less than human, killers tend to free their consciences to take other people’s lives. The second table of God’s law (commandments 5-10) guards us from viewing and treating others as less than

“‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’ This is the first and greatest commandment.” — Matthew 22:37-38 My wife and I recently attended a symphony. Seventy-five musicians on the stage gave their best. The star of the show was a young violinist playing a 1699 Stradivarius violin. At the end of the performance, with the crowd on their feet applauding, the young man left the stage. The applause continued, and he reappeared and bowed. The applause

Is My Faith Real?

2025/10/23

Since we live by the Spirit, let us keep in step with the Spirit. — Galatians 5:25 On our first visit to the Grand Canyon we made our way to the guardrail and peered down to the Colorado River some 5,000 feet below us. Considered to be one of the natural wonders of the world, the Grand Canyon is stunning. It can also be dangerous. People who do not follow safety guidelines risk their lives. Over the years many have fallen to their death. Years later we returned to the canyon and safely hiked

Living a Life of Gratitude

Today Daily Devotional ·

2025/10/22

Shall we go on sinning so that grace may increase? By no means! We are those who have died to sin; how can we live in it any longer? — Romans 6:1-2 We have been saved by grace and not by works. But does that mean we do not have to do good? The answer is clear and decisive. Grace and good works are not competitors. They go hand in hand in the lives of God’s children (see Ephesians 2:8-10). When we come to faith in Christ, our old sinful nature dies. The old nature is crucified and buried with

God’s Discipline

Today Daily Devotional ·

2025/10/21

“Do not make light of the Lord’s discipline, and do not lose heart when he rebukes you, because the Lord disciplines the one he loves. . . .” — Hebrews 12:5-6 Jesus teaches that there is a broad road that leads to destruction and a narrow road that leads to life (Matthew 7:13-14). And because God wants us to experience full life rather than destruction, he disciplines his children who are taking the wrong road. How does God discipline the ones he loves? Sometimes God causes a godly fear to fall on

The Lord’s Supper

Today Daily Devotional ·

2025/10/20

Is not the cup of thanksgiving for which we give thanks a participation in the blood of Christ? And is not the bread that we break a participation in the body of Christ? — 1 Corinthians 10:16 It has been said that the Lord’s Supper, or holy communion, is a “visible sermon.” It is hard to imagine a better one! The bread that is broken reminds us of the body of Christ, which was broken for us—not only on the cross but also in the hours leading up to Jesus’ crucifixion. The wine (or juice) reminds us

Baptism

2025/10/19

In Christ Jesus you are all children of God through faith, for all of you who were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ.— Galatians 3:26-27 In the church we have two sacraments given to us by Christ: baptism and the Lord’s Supper (holy communion). Baptism symbolizes the dying of our old sinful nature and its being buried with Christ, as well as our rising to new life in Christ. Just as we use water to wash our bodies, the waters of baptism represent the washing away of our sin

Heaven, the New Creation

“For you who revere my name, the sun of righteousness will rise with healing in its rays. And you will go out and frolic like well-fed calves.” — Malachi 4:2 On the dairy farm where I grew up, it was always fun to watch young calves when they were first released into the pasture. For a few seconds the freedom seemed to paralyze them. Taking in the bright sun and the unfamiliar sights and smells, they stood motionless. Then suddenly they would leap into the air and race around! Soon exhausted, they

The Body of Christ

Today Daily Devotional ·

2025/10/17

God placed all things under his feet and appointed him to be head over everything for the church, which is his body. . . . — Ephesians 1:22-23 Maybe you have heard someone say, “I don’t need to go to church to be a Christian.” This is true. Many Christians have been jailed for their faith and have been prevented from going to or attending church worship services. But the church is not a place where we “go.” The church is the body of Christ. Wherever God’s people meet for worship and fellowship,

“If you love me, keep my commands. And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another advocate to help you and be with you forever—the Spirit of truth.” — John 14:15-17 One Friday each month, the college where I serve as campus minister celebrates “Spirit Day.” On Spirit Day students, staff, and faculty are encouraged to wear black and gold, the college colors, and to attend the college sports games. In our culture we often emphasize having a strong school, work, and team spirit. Many of us

The Ascension of Jesus

2025/10/15

Jesus Christ . . . has gone into heaven and is at God’s right hand—with angels, authorities and powers in submission to him. — 1 Peter 3:21-22 Years ago, I attended an air show. A military jet flew low over the runway and then turned its nose skyward and flew straight up until the clouds hid it from sight! The sound of its engines faded when we could no longer see the jet. But we all knew it would come back! And it did. The disciples were gathered with Jesus when suddenly he rose up from the

The Resurrection of Jesus

2025/10/14

Suddenly Jesus met them. “Greetings,” he said. They came to him, clasped his feet and worshiped him. — Matthew 28:9 Can an event that took place two thousand years ago benefit humanity today? When Jesus was crucified, died, and was buried, his body lay in a stone-sealed tomb. And then . . . he took a breath; his body stirred; God raised him from the dead. And before some of his followers came to visit the tomb, an angel rolled away the stone so that they could see Jesus had risen. What difference

“Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven.” — Matthew 7:21 It takes me just a second to say “Jesus is Lord.” Lord means “owner” or “master.” I also believe that God raised Jesus from the dead. Does this mean I am saved? The answer is “Yes . . . if”: “Yes, I am saved, if I truly mean and believe what I say.” If you declare or confess that Jesus is Lord, that he is your owner and master, and that God

If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.— Romans 10:9 When one of our daughters was young and we told her to do something, her response was sometimes swift: “You’re not the boss of me!” The idea of having an owner or master, even if it is Jesus, does not come naturally to us. In fact, the notion of being independent from God is what led humanity into sin. But is having a divine Master or Owner really so bad

Jesus’ Incarnation

Today Daily Devotional ·

2025/10/11

His mother Mary . . . was found to be pregnant through the Holy Spirit. — Matthew 1:18 There are lots of misunderstandings about what may happen to us after we die. Many people think that babies who die become angels, for example, and it’s common to see artwork about souls playing harps in the clouds. Reflecting on Jesus’ incarnation can help us think more biblically and clearly, however. The eternal Son of God took on human flesh about 2,000 years ago in the womb of Mary. While remaining fully

Who is Jesus?

The Son is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. For in him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth. . . . — Colossians 1:15-16 Who is Jesus? Many different answers are given to this question. The truth is that Jesus is the eternal Son of God. From all eternity God has existed in three persons—Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Every human being, except one, did not exist before being conceived and born. By coming into existence, people become sons and

God is in Control

We know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose. — Romans 8:28 Life can be hard, even brutal. Wars rage; diseases kill; disasters strike; accidents maim and take lives; loved ones betray. The list goes on, and questions arise. Where is God? Does he know? Does he care? Sufferings and struggles are often described in terms of what we call the problem of evil. “And if God is all powerful and all loving,” people ask, “why do

God is Our Father

2025/10/08

See what great love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God! And that is what we are! — 1 John 3:1 It is a stunning truth: God the Father is not only the Father of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, but he is also the Father of each one who trusts in the sacrifice of Jesus for their salvation. Ponder this glorious truth for a moment. The God who, out of nothing, created the heavens and the earth and everything in them and who upholds and rules them is not simply my

God said, “Let us make mankind in our image, in our likeness, so that they may rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky . . . and over all the creatures that move along the ground.” — Genesis 1:26-27 Around the world there are many different religions and many different views about who or what God is. Some people believe there is one God, some believe there are many gods, and some believe there is no god at all. Some people say that God is whoever or whatever you want him or it to

Faith

Today Daily Devotional ·

2025/10/06

By grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God. . . . — Ephesians 2:8 The Bible teaches that when Adam and Eve—the parents of all humankind—sinned against God, their human nature became corrupt. And this corruption has been passed along to every generation. This means that we all have a sinful nature and that we all sin. But Jesus Christ, God’s Son, became human and provided us the remedy for sin, and the Bible states clearly that the remedy must
