The Bible Points to Jesus

This is Follow Jesus Radio, encouraging you to have faith in Jesus Christ and follow Him daily. The title of this devotional thought is: The Bible Points to Jesus.

Let's listen to God's Word in Deuteronomy 18:15 (NLT):

"Moses continued, 'The LORD your God will raise up for you a prophet like me from among your fellow Israelites. You must listen to him.'"

When Moses spoke those words, he was looking ahead to Jesus Christ. Hundreds of years later, Philip found Nathanael and said, "We have found Him of whom Moses in the Law and also the prophets wrote" (John 1:45). The promised Prophet had come.

After His resurrection, Jesus walked with two discouraged disciples. Luke 24:27 tells us that, beginning with Moses and all the Prophets, He explained the things concerning Himself in all the Scriptures. What an amazing Bible study that must have been! Jesus showed them that the Scriptures had been pointing to Him all along.

Hebrews 1 reminds us that God spoke through the prophets in times past, but now He has spoken to us through His Son. When we open our Bibles, we're not simply reading history or learning facts. We are coming to know Jesus more deeply.

So today, as you read God's Word, look for Jesus. See His love, His grace, and His saving work on every page. He is the One who went to the cross for your sins, rose again to give you eternal life, and walks beside you today. The more you see Jesus in the Scriptures, the more your faith in Him will grow.

Until next time, keep your eyes on Jesus.

That's it for this podcast. Remember, Jesus loves you and is just a prayer away.

Jesus Is Our Inheritance

This is Follow Jesus Radio, encouraging you to have faith in Jesus Christ and follow Him daily. The title of this devotional thought is: Jesus Is Our Inheritance.

Listen to what it says in Psalm 16:5 (NLT):

"LORD, you alone are my inheritance, my cup of blessing. You guard all that is mine."

What a wonderful truth! As believers, our greatest inheritance is not something we receive someday—it is Someone we know today. Our inheritance is Jesus Himself. Because Jesus went to the cross and took the punishment for our sins, everyone who trusts in Him receives the gift of eternal life. This inheritance can never be lost, never wear out, and never come to an end. It has no boundaries and no expiration date. It is ours forever because of God's grace through Jesus Christ.

The psalm also says, "You alone are my...cup of blessing." Every day we can enjoy that blessing by walking with Jesus. We open His Word and hear His voice. We obey His teachings and discover that His ways are always good. We spend time in His presence through prayer and find joy, peace, and strength for each new day. There is no greater blessing than living in close fellowship with the One who loved us enough to die for us.

Today, thank Jesus for your eternal inheritance. Treasure His presence more than anything this world can offer. Walk with Him, listen to Him, and enjoy the cup of blessing that only He can give.

Until next time, keep your eyes on Jesus.

Daily Blessings In Jesus

I was reading this morning in Psalm 16:11 (NLT):

You will show me the way of life, granting me the joy of your presence and the pleasures of living with you forever.

For me, it is Jesus who shows me the way of life. After all, He said in John 14:6 (NLT):

Jesus told him, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one can come to the Father except through me."

By coming to my Heavenly Father through Jesus, I find the incredible promise of eternal life, the joy of God's presence, and the pleasures that come from living with Jesus. If we get sidetracked and drift away from fellowship with Jesus, we miss the blessing.

Let's look forward to this day and tonight by seeing ourselves in the company of Jesus wherever we go. Now that puts a smile on my face! It is good to practice what they call the presence of the Lord. The more we do it, the more it becomes a regular habit.

Life with Jesus is not complicated. We repent and seek forgiveness from Jesus. Then we make it our aim to follow Jesus and obey His teachings.

I hope you find joy in the presence of Jesus today. Look to Him right now. Do you sense His presence?

Held by His Mighty Hand

This is Follow Jesus Radio, encouraging you to have faith in Jesus Christ and follow Him daily. The title of this devotional thought is: Held by His Mighty Hand.

Our Scripture is Psalm 63:8 (NKJV): "My soul follows close behind You; Your right hand upholds me."

David had learned the secret of a steady life: he stayed close to the Lord. Through battles, disappointments, and years of waiting, he kept pursuing God. And as David followed the Lord, he discovered something wonderful—God's mighty hand was always holding him.

The same is true for us as followers of Jesus. We aren't called to follow Christ from a distance but to walk closely with Him each day through His Word, prayer, and trusting obedience. As we draw near to Him, we find that He is already holding on to us.

Think of the blessings we have in Jesus: forgiveness for our sins, peace with God, the presence of the Holy Spirit, and the promise that He will never leave us nor forsake us. Every step we take in following Christ is supported by His faithful hand.

Today, stay close to Jesus. You'll discover that while you're following Him, He has been upholding you all along.

Let's pray:

Father, thank You for holding us with Your mighty hand. Help us to follow closely after Jesus each day, trusting You in every circumstance. Thank You for Your constant presence, Your faithful care, and the many blessings we have in Christ. Keep us near to You, we pray. In Jesus' name, amen.

Until next time, keep your eyes on Jesus.
