The Difference Between List and Death - #6041
Today, the nail-pierced hand of heaven's Rescuer is reaching for you. The nail prints are there because He had to die so you could live; taking the penalty for your sin on that awful cross. And this day, you have to make your choice about Him. How do you grab His hand? You say, "Jesus, I've done it my way long enough. You died for my sin. I am Yours." In that moment, you're saved, you're rescued, and you're safe.

Beauty From Brokenness - #5948
They can see through your wounds the amazing beauty of a joy and a hope that only a Savior like Jesus can give. If you'll turn away from your despair, and maybe bitterness, anger, and self-pity, and give your brokenness to Him, He can do that miracle for you. The songwriter was right when he said, "All I had to offer Him was brokenness and strife. But He made something beautiful of my life."

"Demon" in the Bible: Matthew 8:28-34
The account of Jesus' healing of a demon-possessed man. Nobody else dared go near the violent man, but Jesus cast the demon out of him with a word into a herd of pigs.

Wine in the Bible: John 2:1-11
In this passage, we read about one of Jesus' miracles: changing water into wine at a wedding party. It seems a minor miracle compared to raising the dead or healing the sick, but it's further evidence that Jesus has dominion over all things, great and small.

The Dark Side - #5924
Jesus asked a haunting question about all this in Luke 6:46. It's our word for today from the Word of God. He said, "Why do you call Me, 'Lord, Lord,' and do not do what I say?" If you got to your room tonight and found Jesus there, He might very well ask you that question. If He did, what areas of your life do you think He'd have in mind when He said, "You're not doing what I say"?

The Language They Speak - #5786
Obviously, the need to translate Christ's message is hard to miss in a foreign setting where there is a clearly different linguistic language. But the need to translate the Jesus-story is easy to miss when our neighbors and friends speak the same linguistic language we do, but a different cultural language. The words of our Christian "tribe" simply have no meaning, or the wrong meaning, to the lost "tribe" right next to us.

The Greatest Miracle Known to Man - #5701
Jesus, this name you have to believe in, means "Jehovah saves." So when you "believe in His name," you're telling Jesus that you're taking Him as your personal Rescuer from the death penalty for your sins because He's the only One who died for them.

Oil in the Bible: 2 Kings 4:1-7
One of Elisha's memorable miracles, in which he helps a widow repay her husband's debt to keep her sons from slavery. It demonstrates both God's power and His concern for the outcasts of society.

Fish in the Bible: John 21:1-11
In this miracle, Jesus provides an extraordinary catch of fish for his disciples. It is interesting to note that this miracle, like so many of Jesus' other miracles, seems designed to help meet people's everyday needs, rather than to be a flashy display or power.
