Extract
Jesus said to the crowd, “For this is the will of my Father – everyone who looks on the Son and believes in him to have eternal life, I will raise him up at the last day”. (John 6:40)
Thought
Despite Jesus’ numerous invitations, there are many who don’t push their thinking beyond earthly wealth. Yet, life is short and eternal wealth is forever!
Best to plan ahead and be ready, don’t you think?
Reflection
Lord Jesus, guide us in new ways to use our gifts to influence the lost. May what we do today inspire them to seek your eternal offer. This we ask, through your Holy Spirit. Amen.
Prayer: Psalm 130
Out of the depths, I cry to you, O Lord,
Lord, hear my voice.
O let your ears be attentive to the voice of my pleading.
If you, O Lord, should mark our guilt,
Lord, who would survive?
But with you is found forgiveness;
for this we revere you.
My soul is waiting for the Lord,
I count on his word.
My soul is longing for the Lord,
I count on his word.
My soul is longing for the Lord,
more than watchmen for daybreak.
Because with the Lord, there is mercy
and fullness of redemption,
Israel indeed he will redeem from all its iniquity.
