Scripture Union Daily Guide 1st March 2022 MESSAGE
Vs.27‐28: What does it mean to be truly blessed? What has biological lineage got to do with it? God has no grandchildren. Each of us must make a personal decision to accept Jesus as Lord. See John 1:12. Trusting God and obeying His Word are the hallmarks of a Christian. See Psalm 19:9‐11 Vs.29‐32:
What do you make of the request from the Jews for a sign by Jesus? Many people in our generation, like them, are also looking for signs and miracles before they will believe in Christ. How does this attitude to the gospel compare to that of the people of Nineveh and the Queen of Sheba (vs.31‐32)?
If the people of Nineveh and the Queen of Sheba could turn to God with their limited evidence, we who have the evidence of birth, death and resurrection of Jesus have no excuse for not accepting the gospel and receiving the salvation that Christ brought us. Read vs.33‐36 again. When we receive Jesus, His light shines in our heart and we become children of light (Ephesians 5:8‐14). Those who reject Jesus remain in darkness.
• Any new insight or reinforcement of what you already know?
Closing Prayer
• Keep me shining, Lord, in all I say and do, walking in simple obedience to your will.
Offer a prayer of faith in line with Isaiah 49:15
