DAILY DEVOTION - 29 JULY 2020

Goodmorning. Peace be with you all. Rejoice in the Lord always. "When Jesus had finished saying these things, the crowds were amazed at his teaching, because he taught as one who had authority, and not as their teachers of the law." Matthew 7:28-29.

Insight

Unlike the teachers of his day, Jesus didn't have to shore up his teaching with obscure quotes from past teachers. Jesus, the Word of God, spoke the very words of God. He did and said what the Father willed. His life and his words had the ring of authenticity and an awareness of power that extend through the ages and beckon us to His truth.

Challenge

Jesus, our Teacher and Lord and Saviour, is different. His words are powerful. His teachings are true. So His will must be our passion. Today, look to Jesus as your role model and allow Him to lead and guide you.

Prayer

Holy God, thank you for speaking through your prophets and through your Scriptures. But, Father, I praise you for speaking your greatest message in Jesus. As I see the character of his life, I am drawn to you. As I hear the authenticity in his words, I seek to humbly obey. Thank you for sending Jesus to be my teacher, my guide, my Lord, and my Saviour. It is in Your name, Jesus, that I pray. Amen.
