No-one - All The Good Seed Daily Devotionals for 2025

The sick man answered him, Sir, I have no man.

No-one gave him anything.

Greater love has no-one than this, than to lay down one's life for his friends.
John 5: 7; Luke 15: 16; John 15: 13.

No-one
In all three verses quoted above we find the thought of no-one being available.

The first quotation concerned an invalid who had not found anyone to help him for 38 years. Then the Lord Jesus came to his aid.

In the second passage of Scripture a young man had got far away from his parental home and from God and was enjoying life to the full, but suddenly fell into a wretched condition, and no-one was there to help him. But then he came to his senses and returned. Isn't that the case with many today? During their life they have ignored God, seeking enjoyment apart from Him. Yet after much disappointment they felt lonely and misunderstood. Maybe you are ill, unemployed, without a family or a roof over your head, and desperate. No-one is interested or lends a helping hand. Where can you find help? Everyone has problems of his own and is not prepared to bother himself with those of other people. And the assistance of the social services is limited.

In the third verse from the Bible we find someone who is sincerely ready to take a personal interest and show sympathy and love: Jesus Christ. He knows each one personally and lovingly even gave His life for us. No-one has greater love than that! Jesus Christ loves you, too; He is waiting to save you. Tell Him your fears, worries and wrongdoings frankly. He is never indifferent, but will listen with interest to all that concerns you.
