Scripture Reading: John 5:18

Devotion: The Jews plot to kill Jesus for what they understand to be a blasphemous claim: equality with God. Failure to acknowledge Christ’s deity despite Scripture’s clear testimony places one in opposition to the Lord. Jesus is indeed God and has given us the right to become God’s children; nothing will ever take us from His hand.

Prayer: “O God, forgive me when I have questioned Your authority, and lead me always boldly to confess Your holy name. Amen.”

God’s blessings on your day,

JW
