"Where is the lamb?” is the great Old Testament question. “God will provide Himself a lamb” is the great New Testament answer. The Lamb was identified by John the Baptist, “Behold the Lamb of God which taketh away the sin of the world” (John 1:29). Christ was the Lamb who was crucified for the sins of the world, your sins and mine, on Calvary. Is He your Saviour? —Milton Haack

When our son went to university we looked for books to help him face the “Sodom and Gomorrah” of college life. One sentence I read struck me forcibly, “If a young person truly knows the Lord he will make it! But if that one does not really know Christ in a personal way, all your advice, as a parent, will not help.” When far from home and loved ones, what will keep a young believer from sin? Only a personal relationship with the Saviour and a close walk with God will enable them to overcome temptation. —David Croudace

Our long-expected change from mortality to immortality will take place “in a moment". The Greek word for a moment is “en atomo”, meaning in an atom of time. In the smallest possible amount of time, we will be changed at the trumpet’s blast. How exciting when our mortal bodies shall put on immortality. “We shall be changed.” As we await the moment of transformation, let us live as those who have experienced the change of the new birth. —Arnot McIntee

Of all the figures used in the Scriptures to mark out the coming Messiah, none is more profound than “Son of Man”. Here there is a vision of man as heaven intended, “the magnificent disclosure of God”. It is a term of glory that combines obedience to his Creator and the over-coming of all things in the fulfillment of His mission, His goal and the glory of His coming! —Les Rainey

God’s condemnation is universal. All have sinned. But His gracious offer of salvation is equally universal. It is unto all, and upon all those that believe (Romans 3:22). He has sent forth His absolute and unchanging Word to all, declaring that He does not wish the death of any, but that all should be saved. No sinner will ever go into eternal punishment with out salvation having been provided for them. The Word of salvation goes forth today to every sinner. Come, believe, and live. —Doug Kazen

We serve a God who is great, far beyond our comprehension.
His judgments—unsearchable! (Romans 11:33b)
His ways—past finding out! (Romans 11:33b)
His love—passes knowledge! (Ephesians 3:19)
His peace—surpasses all understanding! (Philippians 4:7)
His joy—unspeakable! (1 Peter 1:8)
And His gift—indescribable! (2 Cor. 9:15 NKJV) —Rex Trogdon

The ox is known for strength and hard labour. Thus a symbol of our service to God. The bullock for sacrifice—our gifts to Him. But more pleasing to God is a song of praise and thanksgiving from our heart to His holy name. —E. MacLelland

Fathers, you are the patriarchal leader of your family, and you need to act as a priest on your children’s behalf, praying for them daily and living Christ before them. May God give you the wisdom to be the father God would have you to be. —Jim Comte

“The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge” (Prov. 1:7). It is fear of God that causes sinners to humble themselves and receive His solution for sin—the Lord Jesus. How can you identify those who truly fear the Lord? They shun evil and pursue righteousness. They exhibit a spirit of humility. They learn to hate the things that God loathes. There are no degrees of holiness with God. He hates all that opposes His character. May believers adopt this mindset and make no excuses for engaging in what God hates. —Warren Henderson

The Christian life is divinely designed to operate by daily dependence on God. “We walk by faith, not by sight” is the believer’s motto (2 Cor. 5:7). Sometimes the impression is given that only missionaries or those in “full time” ministry live by faith. This could not be further from the truth. All Christians are called to look to the Lord for the provision of all of their needs—spiritual, emotional, and physical. Do not miss the blessing of being fed by His hand today! —Keith Keyser
