Daily readings to help you see Jesus' light in your life
by Selwyn Hughes
"I Have Jesus Christ"
"But when the time had fully come, God sent his Son . . ." (v. 4)
-- For reading & meditation: Galatians 4:1-8
The Incarnation, we are saying, is one of the chief distinctives of
the Christian faith. But there are some within the Church today who
cast doubt on this and many other aspects of Christianity. The
Christian faith is being attacked not only from the outside but also
from within. The source of these attacks can be traced to those
theological seminaries and training establishments which adopt a
liberal approach to Christianity. Christ was not born of a virgin,
they say, the miracles can be accounted for psychologically, and
though Christ died on a cross His resurrection was not a physical one
but a spiritual one. A theological student, who is taking a course in
comparative religions, said: "If I were to accept what I am being
taught, then I would leave college with the idea that the Christian
faith has slightly higher moral teaching than other religions, is a
little more consistent in its view of God and man, and is a little
better in general, but not unique." Is it any wonder that so many
students graduate from such institutions with few or no convictions
and with nothing to preach - no gospel, no good news-nothing except
philosophical arguments or a moral code? How sad that from so many
pulpits one hears nothing more than a word become - moralism,
philosophy, and so on. In a radio interview the interviewer asked me:
"You go around the world preaching. What do you have that other
religions do not have?" It was a good question and valid. The answer
was simple and simply given: "I have Jesus Christ, the Word become
flesh."
PRAYER:
O Father, though we see You faintly through the lattice of nature,
that would never have been sufficient to satisfy the longing of our
hearts. You have come to us in the Person of Your Son. Now we are
satisfied. All praise and glory be unto Your worthy Name. Amen.
