Text for the Day -- Galatians 3:1-7
----------
You foolish Galatians! Who has bewitched you? It was before your eyes
that Jesus Christ was publicly exhibited as crucified! The only thing
I want to learn from you is this: Did you receive the Spirit by doing
the works of the law or by believing what you heard? Are you so
foolish? Having started with the Spirit, are you now ending with the
flesh? Did you experience so much for nothing? - if it really was
for nothing. Well then, does God supply you with the Spirit and work
miracles among you by your doing the works of the law, or by your
believing what you heard?
Just as Abraham "believed God, and it was reckoned to him as
righteousness," so, you see, those who believe are the descendants
of Abraham.
Devotional
----------
Paul often spoke of the great mystery that had been hidden but was
now made known in Christ Jesus. The mystery was the truth that God
desired the salvation of the whole world and not just a certain
tribe, clan or nation. Jesus became the Savior of the world. All
those beyond Judaism are welcome into the family as joint inheritors
of the promises of God's mercy and salvation. The walls were broken
down in Jesus' work of redemption.
Prayer
-----------------
Lord, make me an instrument of your love and grace to be an
invitation to others to your kingdom. Amen
