A devotional for today

Today’s readings

David becomes king over all Israel and brings the Ark toward Jerusalem, though the story also reminds us God's holiness cannot be treated casually.

Jesus gives the new command to love one another and says He is the Way, the Truth, and the Life who brings us to the Father.

The psalmist asks God to open his eyes to wonderful things in His law.

Those who listen to correction gain understanding.

David brings the symbol of God's presence toward Jerusalem. Jesus does more: He brings us to the Father Himself.

Am I treating Christianity mainly as a path of rules, or as coming to the Father through Jesus?

Ask: How can our love for one another make Jesus visible?

Father, thank You for making a way home through Your Son. Jesus, teach us to love as You loved. Amen.

Show Christlike love in one concrete way.
