Sunday's Verse of the Day Devotional

Good morning! The Pharisees knew the letter, meaning the law inside and out. They had it memorized. But they couldn't see the one the law pointed to when He walked up to them and spoke. The letter didn't give life, only pronounced death.

It made room only for covering sin, but never removing it or redeeming us. The letter is a mirror for us to see our sin and the need for a Savior. If you live only by the letter, your heart will grow hard and legalistic. You will miss Jesus in your moment like the Pharisees did.

How sad that they got to see their Messiah face to face and missed their moment because of their hard hearts. We are not mediators of the law, but ministers of the new covenant. We have been given life through the Spirit of God. May we not miss our moment when Jesus shows up in our lives because we are so enamored with religion. Choose the Spirit, choose life, choose Jesus and learn how to make each day a great day!
