"Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God." In Philippians 4:6, God calls us to pray to Him about anything and everything in all situations. A new prayer group is starting up to do just that. The group will meet twice a week on Mondays and Fridays in room 112 at 7am, and the sole purpose of the group will be to pray for this school and those in it, this city, this country, and this world. If you are in need of prayer, whether you are a faculty member or a student, you are welcome to come on Monday mornings starting on September 12 and the members of the group will pray for you in person. If you want to request prayer, but not in person, you can send emails to request@flhsemail.org. If you are interested in joining the group and praying for everything under the sun, please contact Hannah Hines by email (hh8604@flhsemail.org) for more information or to confirm your intent to join.

Daily Devotional

Grasping Grace

READ:

John 1:14-18

The law was given through Moses, but God’s unfailing love and faithfulness came through Jesus Christ (v.17).

A volunteer disc jockey on an indie station I listen to once said, “There won’t be any peace until all the religions of the world are one.” That’s a nice, inclusive expression of our longing for peace, love, and unity. However . . .

When we look to Jesus, there’s one undeniable aspect of His teachings that we can have a hard time grasping. Grace! As U2 front man Bono told journalist Michka Assayas: “Grace defies reason and logic.” But why do we need grace? We need it because Jesus made some exclusive claims.

Religion can be an attempt to impress or to placate a higher power with the “fact” that we really aren’t so bad. Human history indicates otherwise. That’s why Jesus is so vital to all of us. When He came to earth, He was “full of grace and truth,” as John phrased it (1:14 NIV). And He made some pretty bold claims about Himself. “I am the way, the truth, and the life,” He said. “No one can come to the Father except through me” (John 14:6). That’s an exclusive claim, yet it’s drenched in hope and love.

“Love interrupts, if you like, the consequences of your actions, which in my case is very good news indeed,” said Bono. His statement is only partly true. Love doesn’t eliminate all the consequences. (I can easily recall the consequences of my own sinful choices.) But the forgiveness of Jesus restores our relationship with God. That’s grace! That’s love!

The platitude that “it doesn’t matter how you come to God” is worse than a pleasant lie; it’s damning. It will keep us lost and separated from God. “The law [which damns us] was given through Moses, but God’s unfailing love and faithfulness came through Jesus Christ” (John 1:17). That isn’t arrogant or exclusive. It’s grace and truth. —Tim Gustafson

There will be a day when we all agree. Romans 14:11 and Isaiah 45:23 tell us all about it.

What does God’s grace mean to you? How might you tell others about the exclusive claims of Jesus?
