Jesus, Jesus, Jesus The Sweetest Name I Know

Entry - February 5, 2008


His Birth Has Divided All Of History . . .


BIBLE MEDITATION:
"And, Thou, Lord, in the beginning hast laid the foundation of the earth; and the heavens are the works of Thine hands." (Hebrews 1:10)

DEVOTIONAL THOUGHT:
Nobody knows the exact date of Jesus' birth, and yet His birth has divided all of history to A.D. and B.C. He never, so far as we know, wrote a book, and yet more books have been written about Him than any other person. He never painted a picture or composed any poetry or music that we know of, and yet He has been the inspiration of the greatest music, art, and poetry that the world has ever known. He never had any formal education, yet more schools, colleges, universities, and seminaries have been founded in His name than any other person who ever lived. That's who the Lord Jesus is, and never has there been another like the Lord Jesus Christ!

ACTION POINT:
Read (Hebrews 1:14). Marvel at His majesty! Praise His omnipotence!

The Only One Who Did Not Have To Die

BIBLE MEDITATION:
"...because I lay down my life, that I might take it again. No man taketh it from Me, but I lay it down of Myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. This commandment have I received of My Father." (John 10:17b-18)

DEVOTIONAL THOUGHT:
The true depth of the Savior's love becomes apparent when you consider an important truth -- Jesus Christ is the only person who ever chose to die. "But, what about kamikaze pilots in World War II? What about soldiers who, having heard the ominous 'click' of a land mine, bravely stood still until their buddies could scurry to safety?" They didn't choose to die in the final sense of the word; they only chose when to die. You and I and everyone yet to be will die eventually, but there was only One who did not have to die. Nails didn't hold our Savior to the tree. Silver cords of love and golden bonds of redemption held Him there.

ACTION POINT:
Read (Psalm 22, 23, and 24)and rejoice in the provision, protection, and providence of the Good Shepherd!

Your True Worth

BIBLE MEDITATION:
"Ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold,...but with the precious blood of Christ." (1 Peter 1:18-19)

DEVOTIONAL THOUGHT:
I was talking to a man who sold real estate and asked, "What determines the worth of a piece of property?" He said, "What a person is willing to pay for it." It doesn't matter how much you paid for it yourself. It's what a person is willing to pay to have it for himself. That makes me want to shout! You and I must be worth something if Jesus would pay His life to have us for His own. Jesus is the proof of how much we're worth.

ACTION POINT:
Do you know how much you weigh? Call a jeweler or a bank today and ask how much your weight is worth in gold. That's no comparison to your worth in blood.
