The Reason for Writing

Bible in a Year: Deuteronomy 5-7, Mark 11:1-18

But these are written that you may believe.
John 20:31

Today's Scripture & Insight: . John's "diary" ends on the note of triumph: "Jesus is the Messiah, the Son of God." The gift of those gospel words allows us the opportunity to believe and "have life in his name."

The Gospels (Matthew, Mark, Luke, John) are diary accounts of God's love for us. They're words to read and believe and share, for they lead us to life. They lead us to Christ.

By: John Blase

Reflect & Pray
How might it change the way you read the Gospels if you thought of them as diaries? How are you being led to the heart of Christ through them?

Gracious God, thank You for the gift of the Scriptures, written down by faithful hands so that I might believe and have life.
