VERSE OF THE DAY

Wednesday

John 6:29 Jesus answered, "The work of God is this: To believe in the one he has sent."

Do you believe in Jesus? Do you really believe? Shortly after Max Lucado came back from his mission work in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, he shared with a group of his closest friends that his theology was pretty simple. He didn't have a handle on a lot of the big difficult theological problems that divide folks. But Max said he came to the firm and deep conviction that God loves us and He showed that love by sending Jesus to live among us, to die for us, and to be raised from the dead so we could, too. This is the work of God – amazingly simple and awesomely powerful.

PRAYER ... Holy God, I do believe that Jesus came to earth, died, and was raised from the dead. Please help me show and share that message with those around me looking to find hope and help. Holy Spirit, open my eyes to those around me who are searching. Father, I want so much to share in Your work, please help me as I rededicate myself to it today. Through Jesus, my Savior, I pray. Amen.
