Scripture

Acts 4

12 Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to men by which we must be saved."

Observation

Kathy just told me last night about a couple in California. This couple had lost their jobs and had become so desperate that murdered their five children and then both committed suicide. They were going to lose everything and were not going to be able to take care of their children (all under the age of 8 years old). They did not want someone else to have their children so they killed them and then killed themselves. We live in a crazy messed up world/country. They were hopeless.

“Salvation (and hope) is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to men by which we must be saved.”

People need Jesus. People need the Lord.

Application

Godlessness breeds hopelessness. People need the Lord. We have the Hope that people need. His Name is Jesus!


Prayer

Heavenly Father, Jesus is the name that is above all other names. Salvation is found in Him and in Him alone. He is the only way to salvation. I pray that our church will continue to be a light for those living in darkness and in hopelessness. I pray that You would continue to use our people to touch the lives of those around them. Thank you that I don’t lack one single thing to be able to live the life that You have called me to live. Your Holy Spirit that lives in me is all I need!

Oh man! What great timing! Michael and I were just talking about the same family last night, and I told Michael that no matter how bad things got, we needed to know that there was always hope in God.
