Tuesday: Our Lord<\/p>\n\n\n\n

by Kurt Selles<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SCRIPTURE READING \u2014 ROMANS 10:9-13; ACTS 2:29-36<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cEveryone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2014 Romans 10:13\"page1image6691584\"\"page1image6694656\"\"page1image6691008\"\"page1image6695232\"\"page1image6394560\"\"page1image6395520\"\"page1image6395712\"\"page1image6398592\"\"page1image6398016\"\"page1image6398784\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After making a weighty statement, it\u2019s good to pause<\/p>\n\n\n\n

and let the meaning of the words settle in. In a sense, that\u2019s what happens after we say, with the Apostles\u2019 Creed, \u201cI believe in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord.\u201d This is a lot to take in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The word for \u201clord\u201d in the New Testament comes from the Greek word kyrios. In the Mediterranean world, someone with power and authority over others was called a \u201clord\u201d or \u201cmaster.\u201d In the New Testament,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jesus is addressed or referred to as \u201cLord\u201d more than 700 times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jesus is addressed as \u201cLord\u201d in two ways. First, he is called \u201cLord\u201d in the same way as he is often called \u201cRabbi\u201d or \u201cTeacher\u201d when someone asks him a question or requests healing. After Jesus\u2019 death and resurrection, however, calling him \u201cLord\u201d takes on much greater meaning. It signifies that Jesus is God himself. It signifies that God the Father has given Jesus all authority over heaven and earth. And, ultimately, it looks ahead to the day when \u201cevery tongue [will]acknowledge that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father\u201d (Philippians 2:11).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We rightly pause when we call Jesus \u201cour Lord.\u201d We confess both his true identity and our just response. Then in awe and gratitude, we ask and seek out how to serve him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jesus, Lord of lords and King of kings, help us to honor and serve you as we await the day when all creation will bow and worship you. Amen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wednesday: Jesus, the Savior<\/p>\n\n\n\n

by Kurt Selles<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SCRIPTURE READING \u2014 MATTHEW 1:18-25<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYou are to give him the name Jesus, because he will save his people from their sins.\u201d
\u2014 Matthew 1:21
Have you ever wondered why your parents chose your name? Maybe they named you after a\"page2image6363712\"\"page2image6363904\"\"page2image6364480\"\"page2image6364672\"\"page2image6364864\"\"page2image6365056\"\"page2image6365248\"\"page2image6365440\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

family member. Perhaps they named you after a person in the Bible. Or maybe they chose your name because they liked the way it sounded.
When Mary was about to give birth, she and Joseph didn\u2019t have a choice. Through an angel, God commanded them to name the child Jesus.\"page2image6365824\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The name Jesus is Greek for the Hebrew
name Joshua, whom God chose to lead Israel into the promised land (Joshua 1). The Hebrew
name Joshua means \u201cGod is deliverance,\u201d and that was a fitting name for the man who led Israel out of their wandering in the wilderness and into the land God had promised them. And in God\u2019s great story, the life of Joshua points toward an even greater figure.\"page2image6366400\"\"page2image6366592\"\"page2image6366784\"\"page2image6366976\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When we say, with the Apostles\u2019 Creed, \u201cI believe in Jesus,\u201d we affirm that God\u2019s Son, Jesus, is our salvation. God\u2019s own Son rescues us from the dark pit of our sin into the light and spacious peace of knowing and resting in God.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So many things promise deliverance in this life. Yet the Bible states clearly that there is only one way to know God\u2014and that is through his Son, Jesus (John 14:6). Do you believe in him? Do you trust in him? His name means \u201cSavior,\u201d or \u201cthe Lord saves,\u201d revealing that Jesus is God\u2019s\"page2image6367360\"\"page2image6367552\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

deliverance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jesus, name above all names, you have washed away our sins and made us right with God. Help us to follow and serve you in all we do. Amen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thursday: Creator of Heaven and Earth<\/p>\n\n\n\n

by Kurt Selles<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SCRIPTURE READING \u2014 PSALM 33:6-9<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He spoke, and it came to be; he commanded, and it stood firm. \u2014 Psalm 33:9\"page3image6347520\"\"page3image6347712\"\"page3image6348288\"\"page3image6348480\"\"page3image6348672\"\"page3image6348864\"\"page3image6349056\"\"page3image6349248\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Though my father wasn\u2019t a carpenter by trade, he loved to work with wood. He enjoyed taking a<\/p>\n\n\n\n

piece of wood and transforming it into something useful and pleasing. As creatures made in the image of God, we all have an inborn desire to make things useful and lovely. In this we imitate God, who created the heavens and the earth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Psalm 33 recalls God\u2019s almighty power in creating everything around us: the sky, the sun, the stars, the mountains, the oceans. God not only created<\/p>\n\n\n\n

all that we see; he also created good things we can\u2019t see\u2014like air, gravity, and sound, as well as love, goodness, and justice. God did this, as the psalm says, through the power of his spoken word.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When we say, with the Apostle\u2019s Creed, that God is the \u201ccreator of heaven and earth,\u201d we are declaring that the same God who made the mountains, forests, and oceans made each one of us too. What\u2019s more, we are declaring that this God hasn\u2019t stepped back from what he has made; no, he still delights in sustaining it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We can take great comfort in knowing that the all-powerful creator and sustainer, God Almighty, is the one that we also call our heavenly Father. God cares for us; he knows what we need; and he will never let us slip from his tender care.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

May your unfailing love be with us, Almighty God. Guide us to put our hope <\/p>\n\n\n\n

in you. Amen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Friday: I Believe in God<\/p>\n\n\n\n

by Kurt Selles<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SCRIPTURE READING \u2014 HEBREWS 11:1-6
Without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe<\/p>\n\n\n\n

that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him. \u2014 Hebrews 11:6\"page4image6326720\"\"page4image6327872\"\"page4image6328448\"\"page4image6328640\"\"page4image6328832\"\"page4image6329024\"\"page4image6329216\"\"page4image6329408\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When we say the Apostles\u2019 Creed, we begin with the<\/p>\n\n\n\n

words \u201cI believe in God . . .\u201d And what do we mean by this?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sometimes we use the words I believe to say that we agree with certain facts. For example, we might say, \u201cI believe that the earth is round.\u201d But belief goes deeper than agreeing with facts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With the words, \u201cI believe in God,\u201d we are saying much more than that we agree with facts about God. Sure, we are accepting the basic biblical truths\"page4image6329984\"\"page4image6330176\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

about God\u2019s existence. But when we say, \u201cI believe in God,\u201d our hearts are involved as well. Our belief means trusting in God, committing ourselves to God and his teaching for our lives, and following and obeying God in what he says and where he leads. With the opening words of the Apostles\u2019 Creed, we affirm that we believe and trust in God himself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many believers throughout the centuries have memorized the Apostles\u2019 Creed\u2014often by saying it again and again in worship services. Sadly, though, our minds can wander when we repeat the creed that way. So it\u2019s important to think about the words we are saying. The next time you say the creed, be sure to say it as an expression of the truth and as a commitment to following God the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit with all of your heart!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dear God, we believe in you. Help us to trust and serve you with our whole heart, soul, mind, and strength. Amen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
