BIBLE MEDITATION:
“I am the Good Shepherd: the Good Shepherd giveth His life for the sheep.”John 10:11
DEVOTIONAL THOUGHT:
Did you know that there has only been one person who ever chose to die? Only one.
“Oh,” you say, “Suicide bombers choose to die. Other people choose to die. People who die by their own hand choose to die. People who give themselves for others choose to die.”
But really no one has ever chosen to die except Jesus. Why? Because He was the only One who didn’t have to die. Some people may choose to die a little sooner, but nobody has ever truly chosen to die except One—the Lord Jesus Christ.
It wasn’t nails that held Him to the tree. It was the silver cords of love and the golden bonds of redemption that held Jesus Christ to that cross.
ACTION POINT:
The fact that no one has ever chosen to die but Jesus, may be a new concept to you. If so, it’s probably new to someone else as well. Share it with someone today! |
