He Saw A Saviour

MAY 11, 2026
Daily Reading—2 Samuel 14-15 / Luke 24:36-53

WHAT GOD HAS SAID:

Luke 23:42-43 And he said unto Jesus, Lord, remember me when thou comest into thy kingdom. And Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, To day shalt thou be with me in paradise.

WHAT I HAVE SEEN:

    What does it take to become a child of God? Some think it is church attendance. Attendance will help you grow in the Lord to be a better believer, but attendance alone will not save you. Many believe that if they are members of the right church or denomination, that will get them in. Yet the man in today’s verse never joined a formal church. Others think a sinner’s prayer saves our soul. Yet words without faith do nothing of the sort.

 

    Why was the man on the cross next to Jesus assured a place in paradise? Because he saw Jesus as his Saviour and Redeemer. His heart cried out what his mouth did not say.  

WHAT WILL YOU DO:

When you look to Jesus, what do you see?

IF YOU ARE JOURNALING:

Ask yourself, what are MY THOUGHTS concerning this passage and today’s devotion?

Within this reading, do I find a CHALLENGE for my life?

What actions will I take today or this week to meet this CHALLENGE?

Everybody Wants Something

MAY 9 & 10, 2026
Daily Reading—2 Samuel 11-13 / Luke 24:1-35

WHAT GOD HAS SAID:

Luke 23:8 And when Herod saw Jesus, he was exceeding glad: for he was desirous to see him of a long season, because he had heard many things of him; and he hoped to have seen some miracle done by him.

WHAT I HAVE SEEN:

   

When Herod saw Jesus, he was glad. Why was he glad? Was it because he was meeting the Messiah? NO! Would he ask for His advice on how to be a better leader? NO! The reason he wanted to see Jesus was to see the show. He heard Jesus had done many miracles, and Herod just wanted to see one happen.

    Everyone wants something from Jesus. Some want Him to be their bodyguard and just watch out for them when troubles come. Some want Him to be like a grandparent and spoil them with things. Everybody wants something. Jesus is glad to watch over us and to give us the things we need in life. However, what He wants most of all is for us to just desire an intimate relationship with Him. 

WHAT WILL YOU DO:

What do you want from Jesus?

WHAT TO DO ON SUNDAY:

     On Sundays, we encourage you to attend your local church and listen intently to what God has prepared in your pastor’s heart. Write down all the scriptures he uses in that message. Then, when you get home, reread those passages for today’s reading. God has given your pastor exactly what He desires for you to have on that day.

Pick Me, Pick Me

MAY 7, 2026
Daily Reading—2 Samuel 4-6 / Luke 23:1-26

WHAT GOD HAS SAID:

Luke 22:27 For whether is greater, he that sitteth at meat, or he that serveth? is not he that sitteth at meat? but I am among you as he that serveth.

WHAT I HAVE SEEN:

    When choosing teams for any sport, if you get around a bunch of kids, you will always hear the same thing. Pick me, pick me! Everyone wants to feel needed and special. Often, you will hear someone who is belittling their childhood say, “I was always the last one chosen for sports and games.”

    Jesus tells us not to be concerned with who is first or last. Using Himself as an example, He asks, Who is greater, people at a table eating or servants serving the table? We might all say those who are dining. Then Jesus says, But I am here and am serving. None of us is greater than Jesus. Being a servant does not make us last; it is who we serve that matters.  

WHAT WILL YOU DO:

Is serving God a chore for you or a privilege?
