Daily devotion – Thursday 10th June 2021
The Bible is the story of many major figures and leaders. But do you realize that each and every one of them points us to the King of kings and the Lord of lords, Jesus Christ?
Jesus is Isaac, the beloved Son of the Father Who was offered as a sacrifice, but nevertheless did not succumb to the power of death.
He is Jacob the watchful Shepherd, who has such great care for the sheep which He guards.
He is the good and compassionate brother Joseph, who in His glory was not ashamed to acknowledge His brothers, however lowly and abject their condition.
He is the great sacrifice and bishop Melchizedek who has offered an eternal sacrifice once and for all.
He is the sovereign lawgiver Moses, writing His law on the tables of our hearts by His Spirit.
He is the faithful captain and guide Joshua, to lead us to the Promised Land.
He is the victorious and noble King David, bringing by His hand all rebellious power to subjection.
He is the magnificent and triumphant King Solomon governing His kingdom in peace and prosperity.
He is the strong and powerful Samson Who by His death has overwhelmed all His enemies.
Today, when you open the Bible, you will see Jesus Christ on every page.
May people around us, whether at work, at school or at our sporting club or neighbourhood, see Jesus Christ as clearly in every page of our lives as we live for the glory of God amongst them.
Read His Word, meditate on it, pray it in and then live it out and see God work through your life as well.
