Word of Hope for Today by Bro. Rolly
Custodio
‘There is one…mediator between God
and men…Jesus.’ 1 Timothy 2:5 KJV
Today’s Insight
Michael Spencer writes:
‘The truth that Jesus is
the one mediator between God and human beings knocked me to the floor and
suspended me over the truth that God had done all things necessary for my
salvation. He had paid the debt and become the necessary sacrifice. He had
loved me to the uttermost. He had given all this to me as a gift. I had nothing
to do but simply stop ignoring His gift and receive it. I was a drowning man
whose rescue depended on stopping all efforts to swim and trusting someone who
was not going to make me a better swimmer, but who would drown in my place.
This experience…demolished the idea that I could be anything other than what I
was: a broken, sinful, wounded, failing, hurting human being… To try to make
myself presentable or acceptable made me less capable of receiving the simple
gift of Jesus’ mediation on my behalf.
Jesus was clearing the road so that I could ride
victoriously through life. He was becoming the road that would carry me through
all the garbage, falls, failures and disasters that were the inevitable results
of my existence. In trying to make myself lovable, I had been distancing myself
from true love. In pretending to be a leading candidate for the religious life,
I was abandoning the life of grace. In seeking to be a good Christian, I was
deserting the truth that there is no Gospel for “good” Christians, because the
Lamb of God was nailed to an altar for those who are not good, and who are no
good at pretending to be good.’
Today’s Prayer
Heavenly Father, Thank you for your Word today.

we are hopeless you give us Hope so that by your sacrifice all of us will be reconciled
to the Father. Lord than you for paying our sins so that we can have hoped to
