Going The Wrong Way
MAY 18, 2026
Daily Reading—1 Kings 3-5 / John 4:39-54
WHAT GOD HAS SAID:
John 3:17-18 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
WHAT I HAVE SEEN:
I saw on the news a while back a story and video of a man who was drinking and driving on the wrong side of the highway. Although everything was coming his way, he appeared not to realize he was in the wrong. It ended in a fiery crash that took his life.
Jesus did not come to the world to condemn people; they are already heading down the wrong path. By heading that way, they are condemned already. Jesus came to be the flashing light in their eyes to warn them. If they will see the warning and turn from their sin to Him, He will save them. Otherwise, there is bound to be a fiery crash at the end of their lives. The bible says, “Let your light so shine.”
WHAT WILL YOU DO:
Will you help shine the light of Jesus to warn someone today?
