Thoughts on Today's Verse...

I don't want to be any more exclusive than Jesus. But I do want to hear his voice and obey what he calls me to do. He came to reveal the Father and make him fully known (John 1:14, 18). Jesus tells me that the only way to the Father is through him. I must also know that others must know him to find their way to the Father through him, too. How can we be less than passionate about those around us who do not really know Jesus as their Savior, Redeemer, Brother, and Lord? How can the first four books of our New Testament lie unread? How can we trust anyone or any claim that they know another way? Jesus came and gave himself to provide us a way to the Father. How can we look for any other way?

My Prayer...

Holy God and Righteous Father, please give me a passion for Jesus and a heart that knows him in word, deed, and concern. I trust Jesus as my Shepherd and Lord to lead me to you! In the name of Jesus, your mighty Word and Way, I pray. Amen.
