Monday - Christ's Name - John 14:13 
In the passage from Sunday we read how that salvation comes through the power of the name of Jesus and for His Name's sake. When we pray asking for the will of God in Jesus Name or for His Name's sake, we are recognizing the fact that everything that makes up our relationship with God is granted through the atoning work of Jesus, the Christ of God. We must remember that Joseph was told to name the child Jesus for He would take away the sins of the world.

Tuesday - Childlikeness - Mark 10:15 
We have been told over and over again by Jesus through illustrations and stories found in the gospels, that we need to be like children when it comes to the inheritance of, entering into, or taking possession of the kingdom of heaven. When the disciples asked to be with Jesus when He came into His kingdom, Jesus brought the child in the middle of them all and said that they needed to become as one of these little ones. It takes an innocence, as well as dependent faith, to gain the good things of God including a heavenly home. We must learn to trust in God through Jesus Christ for guidance and leadership throughout our lives, day by clay, living and growing up in Him.

Wednesday - Sin Forgiven - Hebrews 9:22 
Since the time of the law, the instruction from God to Moses was that nearly everything must be made clean through the application of the blood of the sacrifice. It was also revealed that their would be no forgiveness without the application of the blood of the lamb. And we still hold all of this as true today, the blood of the Lamb, Jesus Christ our sacrifice, needs to be applied to our hearts and lives so that we will be made clean and can have the proper relationship with God through salvation and the forgiveness of sin. 

Thursday - Overcomers/Spiritual Victory - 1 John 4:4; 5:4
John lets us know that we have the victory over the power of evil and death because of the One who has proven Himself to be the great "Overcomer." Jesus has conquered everything that is evil in this world and more. He gives us that power so that we too can overcome the evil temptations of this world. Our faith and trust in Him, being born again in God, will lead us to be overcomers in this world. Whatever we may face, through Christ, we can be victorious in standing up against it. 

Friday - Spiritual Maturity - 1 John 2:14  
Maturity, from being the young ones to the fathers and mothers, comes from a series of events in the relationship of walking with God on a daily basis. Paul spoke of it in 1 Corinthians 13:11 as putting away the childish things when it came to how they thought. To the Ephesian Church, Paul wrote that we need to come to the place of unity within the body of Christ to attain the wholeness or fullness of Christ and become mature. The writer of the Book of Hebrews encourages us to eat the meat, or solid food, the deeper understanding of Scripture, so as to become mature in our ability to determine what is good from evil. 

Saturday - Spiritual Power - Ephesians 3:16 
Just as Jesus came back from the wilderness experience of temptation in the power of the Spirit, we too can have spiritual power to overcome the evil that would try to rob us of our relationship with Christ and God the Father. That spiritual power comes to us as we allow the Word of God to live within us. As we abide in that relationship being branches intertwined with the vine that truly gives us life. It is that power that gives us the ability to overcome, to grow into mature Christians and enables us to spread the good news of the gospel to those we love and come to meet along the journey with Jesus.

Sunday - Purpose of the Word - John 20:31 
In both his gospel and his letters, John lets us know the purpose for writing these important words down about the eternal life that can be granted to us through faith in Jesus as the Christ. John says that there were a lot more that could have been written but that the purpose of writing what has been written is that the Word would bring us to the point of believe in Jesus and so have everlasting life; and so, to live that life in a right relationship with Him without sins coming between us ( a life led by His Spirit).

Monday - Christ's Intercession - Romans 8:34 
Paul, like John, tells us of the work of Jesus interceding on our behalf to God. Even though Paul calls Christ the judge, Paul explains that just as Jesus was raised from the dead after taking upon Himself the sins of the world, we are raised to live life apart from our sins when we live like we believe in Jesus as Savior and accept what He did for us.

Tuesday - Christ's Righteousness - Jeremiah 23:5 
The Bible tells us that it was by the very plan and work of God that Jesus, as the shoot of David was raised up to rule as the eternal King. The One who would reign in wisdom, justice, and righteousness. The Promise was fulfilled in Jesus Christ, to us the example of what is rightful living.

Wednesday - Childlikeness - Mark 10:15 
As dearly loved children we are to live our lives in the innocence of dependency on Jesus Christ, on God the Father. We are told that if we want to be a part of the kingdom of heaven that we must receive it as a little child. A child has that tendency never to turn down a gift that is given. God gives to each of those who believe, and depend upon Him as a child, the gift of being one of His dearly (• loved children and an heir to a place within His kingdom, Heaven.

Thursday - Christ's Words - John 8:51; 14:15, 23 
John continues to let us know that what Jesus had to say, His commands and teachings, were given to us so that we could live life to the full, coming to know Him as Friend, and to demonstrate our love for Him through obedience. The word of the Lord was not to be taken lightly but was given to let us know by what we will be judged in the end. What we do with the words of Jesus will determine if we will spend eternity with Him or not.

Friday - Christ's Commands - John 14:15, 21; 15:10, 14
Here again John distinctly connects the fact that love is tied together with obedience when we act upon the commands of Jesus Christ. To those who obey, fellowship with and knowledge about Jesus, Himself is given. He will reveal Himself, make Himself known, in a deeper fashion if they respond correctly to what He demands. And we see that it is a relationship of love that is over all that He commands us to do. It is obedience to the law of love, love for God and love for one another.

Saturday - Christ Indwelling - Galatians 2:20 
As we continue to live in relationship with Jesus Christ, we come to understand that we have died out to the old self and are living in Christ in such intensity that it is He who lives I and through us. By faith we live out our lives to the glory of Jesus Christ and God the Father. All we do we do for the sake of the call that Jesus has given to all of us to come after Him and believe. It is no longer our selves that live but it is Christ who is doing the living; it is His will being accomplished; and it is Christ who determines our direction, for He is in control.

Monday - Christ the Light - John 8:12 
It is revealed to us by Jesus Himself that He is the Light of the world. He is the illuminator who brings the truth before us and brings to us the understanding that is needed to apply that truth to our lives. John also tells us in the letter of 1 John, that in God and Jesus there is no darkness at all. That the truth which is given to us has no gray areas that would bring about doubt within it self for it is all found in the Light of His glory, the glow of His goodness.

Tuesday - Spiritual Darkness - John 3:19 
In the conversation with Nicodemus, the man who came to Jesus by night, Jesus states that "the Light has come into the world." He also explains that that light brings forth the life (the spiritual influencing the physical) that is frill and everlasting because of faith, because of believing. Yet Jesus shares that men prefer the darkness (the place of evil and hiding of the truth) because their deeds are evil. Jesus also taught that this evil darkness will bring on death and destruction, robbing those of the life that God wants to bring.

Wednesday - Spiritual Cleansing - Isaiah 1:18 
The prophet Isaiah shares with us that God wants to do a cleansing work within our hearts and lives that removes the darkness and the dirt of evil that clings to us in that darkness. Isaiah shares the Lord calls us to come out of the darkness to Him so that He may take the sins that are easily seen (scarlet) and change them to be white as snow (to match the purity of God). That even though they are crimson red, appearing like stains that could never come out, they will be like wool freshly cut from the lamb and bleached in the sun to be white and pure.

Thursday - Spiritual Pride - Revelation 3:17 
In the Revelation of Jesus Christ given to John, we hear Jesus state in the letter to the church of Laodicea that they are not able to see their need for the touch of God, the healing of blinded eyes and even their spiritual poverty because of their pride that makes they are in need of nothing. Pride can be a person's downfall, if they think to highly of themselves and not realize their need for Jesus, and God the Father, in each day. He is the One who brings to us the Light of Life and the joy of living it. It is Jesus, that guides and directs us away from the pitfalls of sin that can ruin our lives. If we think we have not the need, we deceive ourselves.

Friday - Spiritual Poverty - Ephesians 2:12-13 
Paul shares with us in a similar fashion as John when he tells the church at Ephesus that they must remember that at one time they were a people who were separated from Christ because of sin and not nationality, that they were not considered a part of the covenant with God. They were spiritually bankrupt.. .poor! But that because of Christ they have been brought into the covenant as the new Israel, as those now having a hope because of the riches of His grace and are a part of the Family of God. 

Saturday - Saint's Fellowship - Acts 2:42-47
We see in this passage that as the Lord becomes involved in our lives as the Light of direction, He leads us to a fellowship with Him and those who have also chosen to follow Him. This fellowship of caring and sharing, encourages us and strengthens our resolve to draw nearer to the Lord, to grow in His love for Him and others, and to live our lives according to His Word which reveals all that Light that is needed to experience the sweet fellowship of His Presence, day by day.
