DAILY MANNA FOR TODAY
Dr. A. W. Tozer, in his book, The Pursuit of God, wrote, “The modern scientist has lost God amidst the wonders of His world; we Christians are in real danger of losing God amidst the wonders of His word.” Many people who know about Christ have failed to recognise him as the Saviour of the world.
In our text, the Jewish religious leaders wanted Jesus crucified based on trumped-up charges. Pilate, who was the judge, pronounced Christ guiltless but treated Him as a tool to pacify the Jews and mend his broken relationship with Herod. On his part, Herod was anxious to see Christ only as a miracle worker. Like multitudes today, he was a curious seeker eager to observe supernatural signs and wonders.
Many people still come to Christ for reasons less than why He came into the world: to seek and save the lost. Some see Christ in the mould of a Father Christmas, who merely supplies their needs, without first seeking the kingdom of God and His righteousness. No wonder the prayers for promotion, healing, deliverance, material supply, and victory over enemies usually echo louder than the prayer of repentance in churches of today. Some attend church services for emotional experiences or simply to be in the right social or political circle. Others, like Governor Felix, are eager to discuss religious matters but postpone their salvation to a convenient time that may never come.
Let us remember that salvation from sin and its consequences should be the primary reason for seeking Christ. Other benefits are mere icing on the cake.
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: Smart people, like Zacchaeus, seek Christ for the greatest miracle – the salvation of their soul.
