Daily Reading: Numbers 14:1-15:16 ESV, Mark 14:53-72 ESV, Psalm 53:1-6 ESV, Proverbs 11:4 ESV
Daily Verse: “But he remained silent and made no answer. Again the high priest asked him, “Are you the Christ, the Son of the Blessed?” (Mark 14:61 ESV)
CHRISTOS (5547): “From 5548: anointed, i.e., the Messiah, an epithet of Jesus (used 569x).”[I]
Son of the Blessed.
When the high priest questioned Jesus before His crucifixion, Jesus remained silent. Finally, Jesus affirmed His position:
“And Jesus said, “I am, and you will see the Son of Man seated at the right hand of Power, and coming with the clouds of heaven.” (Mark 14:62 ESV)
Christ, the Messiah, anointed by God to do His will. Savior of the world, studying Jesus’ life on earth will change yours now.
“The Bible was not given to increase our knowledge, but to change our lives.” D.L. Moody[i]
Experience the life change Jesus offers. Son of God, His purpose on earth brought salvation to those who receive it. You have the choice of who you follow; choose Jesus.
Full life.
At lunch with a friend, we talked about therapy. A massive fan of talking through issues, my friend asked why I started treatment. “I want to live life to the fullest,” I responded.
“The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life and have it to the full.” (John 10:10 ESV)
Often, our biggest battle takes place in the mind. The thief steals our joy by the thoughts we think. Instead of filling our minds with God’s word, we let our thoughts spiral out of control with worldly problems.
Jesus came to give us life to the full. Following Him will take you on an adventure you have yet to discover. Christ, the anointed one of God, giver of life, saver of souls, lover of all, make Him your leader today. Accept the gift of life Jesus offers!
