Daily Thought

If loving God = loving others,

then attacking others = attacking "X"

Solve for "X"

John Hinkley, Jr. was aiming at President Ronald Reagan. Instead, he shot Secret Service agent Timothy McCarthy, because Secret Service agents take bullets aimed for the President. McCarthy threw his body in the line of fire.

Our words are bullets. Jesus said so. (Matthew 5:21-22)

Have you ever taken aim at anyone?

The King will reply, "Whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did for me; whatever you did not do for one of the least of these, you did not do for me."

--Matthew 25:40, 45

When we wrong someone in any way, Jesus is in the line of fire.

The solution: "A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. By this all men will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another."

--John 13:34-35

To God's Glory,

Daily Prayer

Our Father, You are good and just and loving and full of grace. Your Son was pierced for our transgressions, He was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was upon Him, by His wounds we are healed.

Thank You, Father, for salvation, for forgiveness, for the atonement for our sins offered by the death of Jesus Christ. We praise You that Jesus conquered death. His is the name above all names.

In the Name of Jesus,

Amen
