> > HEARTLIGHT DAILY VERSE > (formerly Today's Verse) > by Phil Ware > >March 30, 2004 > >An angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream and said, >"Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary home as >your wife, because what is conceived in her is from the Holy >Spirit. She will give birth to a son, and you are to give him >the name Jesus, because he will save his people from their >sins." > > --Matthew 1:20-21 > New International Version > >THOUGHTS ABOUT TODAY'S VERSE... > Jesus first had to become the sins of the people before he >could save them (us) from those sins (2 Cor. 5:21; 1 John >4:10). His own people rejected him before his forgiveness >could be received. Jesus' gift of salvation was incredibly >costly to him. It is a reminder of two great truths: God >loves us incredibly and salvation is a precious gift. > > >MY PRAYER... > Almighty God and Savior, thank you for bearing the cost of >my sin in Jesus. Thank you precious Lord, for taking on human >flesh, bearing its difficulties, facing rejection so I could be >saved. My salvation makes all other names pale in comparison to >Jesus, through whom I offer all thanks and praise. Amen. > >----------- > >Heartlight Daily devotional and prayer are written >by Phil Ware of HEARTLIGHT Magazine, on the web at: >http://link.crosswalk.com/UM/T.asp?A1.21.20443.1.1286813 >----------- >HEARTLIGHT is a non-profit organization and needs >your help!
