John 1:35-47

Jesus winning five men one after another into personal friendship—how like him and his Father! For God loves the personal touch. When he created man he gave a bit of himself, his breath. When man lost touch he gave his only Son to get us back in touch. And Jesus gave his own very self, his life, in doing it. Let us keep in close, personal touch with Jesus, and help somebody get in touch, too.

Isaiah 42:1-8

God carries an ideal in his heart. Eden pictures that ideal most winsomely—God and man walking and working in a garden as closest friends. Sin broke the ideal. God gave his Son to heal the hurt of sin and woo us back to the garden-life. Both prophecy and gospel tell how practical and winsome his wooing was. God’ll never rest content till his ideal has become real. Let us make it real today.

Hebrews 4:14-16; Hebrews 5:1-9

Jesus was the Brother of man as well as the Son of man. He shared our experiences. He trod the same rough road, and knew the same tight corners. He was tempted as we are, and he was tempted first, and he was tempted most. The path’s never so rough for our feet. His have smoothed it down. He understands. He can help; he knows by experience. And he will help, and we shall have victory today.

Matthew 3:16-17; Matthew 4:1-11

Jesus was tempted, really tempted. No one was ever tempted so cunningly and repeatedly. The tempter did his best and worst. And Jesus felt the temptations keenly. Many a time his brow was moist and his jaw set. But every temptation met its full match in him. He overcame by his set will and his Father’s grace. And so may we, by his victory and his help. Temptation is a chance for victory through Jesus.

Mark 1:12-20

Jesus touched every side of human life. He did it by giving a bit of his own life. He took a decisive stand in the Jordan with God’s messenger. He was tempted. He came into personal friendship with men. He took men into close partnership in his blessed ministry. He revealed the resistless power of God helping human need. And he still does. He will begin this sort of thing in us as we let him.
