Day 28: 1 Timothy 6:12-16
Grab hold of eternal life—you were called to it, and you made a good confession of it in the presence of many witnesses. I command you in the presence of God, who gives life to all things, and Christ Jesus, who made the good confession when testifying before Pontius Pilate. Obey this order without fault or failure until the appearance of our Lord Jesus Christ. The timing of this appearance is revealed by God alone, who is the blessed and only master, the King of kings and Lord of lords. He alone has immortality and lives in light that no one can come near. No human being has ever seen or is able to see him. Honor and eternal power belong to him. Amen.
Week 5: Message
John 3:16-18 says, “For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who believes in him may not perish but may have eternal life. Indeed, God did not send the Son into the world to condemn the world but in order that the world might be saved through him. Those who believe in him are not condemned, but those who do not believe are condemned already because they have not believed in the name of the only Son of God.” The crux of the Christian life is the message. We sometimes call it the gospel or the good news. But whatever we call it, it is still the message that Jesus Christ is our Lord and savior, and he has called us to share that message with anyone and everyone. Lent is the perfect time to reflect on what the gospel is to you, to form your own faith story in your own words, and to give witness to the mighty acts of God in the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ.
