Confessing Christ is crucial! Confessing Christ can be costly in human terms. Christians in generations before us were sometimes put to death for saying, "Jesus Christ is Lord" rather than calling some other ruler "Lord." Still today, many Christians are suffering terrible things and even dying for their faith. However, the significance of our confessing Christ is revealed most clearly by Jesus' own words. He promised that he would claim us - "acknowledge" us as his - before the angels and before the Father [1] if we "acknowledge" him now while we are here on earth!
What Jesus Did! is a series of one-year devotional guides through each gospel, using one short scripture passage each day and following the Gospel in sequential order. Each devotional consists of a scripture passage and a reflection and a prayer which open up the day's scripture and show how it challenges you to live for Jesus.
What Jesus Did! is written by Phil Ware and is available in book form.
