Baptist and Messiah
Wednesday, August 28, 2024
Yochanan the Immerser, or as most know him, John the Baptist, was called the greatest of those born of women by Messiah. He was a priest, a prophet, God's messenger to his generation- yet without the Messiah, it made no sense. Yochanan's life and ministry only found its fulfillment when the Messiah came. Now if John, with all his holiness, spirituality, gifts, calling, and ministry power was still incomplete without Messiah, how much more your life? No matter what you've acquired in your life, you'll still be empty without Messiah in its center. Maybe you've been trying to fill your life with possessions, a relationship, recognition, achievement, some cause or pursuit. You may think that you can fill your life with the pursuit of ministry and spirituality. Well, these things are good, but they can't fill your life. No matter what else you have, it's an unchangeable fact- it'll be empty if the Lord's not in the center. So why waste any more time? Come back to your first love. Make God the Lord of your heart and your life will really be something great.

Today's Mission
Today, make it your aim to make Messiah your aim - Make Him the object of everything you do.
