TODAY'S EPISODE:
Welcome to the Daily Radio Bible! On this 22nd day of May, we journey together through day 143 of our year-long walk in Scripture. Today, Speaker A guides us through the dedication of Solomon’s Temple in 1 Kings 8 and 2 Chronicles 5, explores the majesty of God in Psalm 99, and reflects on the universality of sin and the gift of righteousness by faith in Romans 3. Join us for a time of Bible reading, prayer, and encouragement as we center our hearts on the living Word and remember that through Christ, we are loved and made right with God.
TODAY'S DEVOTION:
We are all lawbreakers in need of a champion. Our life is marked by the reality that none of us measures up—we cannot fulfill the law or claim to be righteous on our own. Deep in our souls, we sense this lack: the need for someone to stand in the gap for us, to do what we cannot do for ourselves. We need a champion, someone who will enter into our spiritual darkness and do something about it, someone who will deal with death and the grave.
This is the gospel—that Jesus has come as our champion to deal with sin, death, and the grave for all of us. He hasn’t come to condemn us in our unrighteousness; he has come to sit with us, to suffer alongside us, and to die on our behalf. In dying, he defeats death, freeing us from its penalty and grip.
The book of Hebrews tells us that since we share in flesh and blood, he also shared these same things, so that through death he might destroy the one who holds the power of death, the devil, and set us free from lifelong bondage to the fear of death. All that was needed for us to overcome sin, death, and the grave has been accomplished in Jesus. He has fulfilled all righteousness and defeated the evil one. He alone has completed the law’s purpose for all of us and draws us into his victory and into his life.
Ours is the call to say yes—to wake up to this new reality that is given to us now in Christ. That is my prayer: to awaken and remain in this truth, to live in the freedom that comes from knowing that everything needed—every requirement, every victory, every triumph over darkness—has been fulfilled in him.
That’s the prayer I have for my own soul. That’s the prayer I have for my family, for my wife, my daughters, my son. And that’s the prayer I have for you. May it be so.
TODAY'S PRAYERS:
Lord God Almighty and everlasting father you have brought us in safety to this new day preserve us with your Mighty power that we might not fall into sin or be overcome by adversity. And in all we do, direct us to the fulfilling of your purpose through Jesus Christ Our Lord amen.
Oh God you have made of one blood all the peoples of the earth and sent your blessed son to preach peace to those who are far and those who are near. Grant that people everywhere may seek after you, and find you. Bring the nations into your fold, pour out your Spirit on all flesh, and hasten the coming of your kingdom through Jesus Christ our Lord, Amen.
And now Lord, make me an instrument of your peace. Where there is hatred let me sow love. Where there is injury, pardon. Where there is doubt, faith. Where there is despair, hope. Where there is darkness, light. And where there is sadness, Joy. Oh Lord grant that I might not seek to be consoled as to console. To be understood as to understand, to be loved as to love. For it is in the giving that we receive, in the pardoning that we are pardoned, it is in the dying that we are born unto eternal life. Amen
And now as our Lord has taught us we are bold to pray...
Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name, thy kingdom come thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven, give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our tresspasses as we forgive those who trespass against us, and lead us not unto temptation, but deliver us from evil, for thine is the Kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen.
Loving God, we give you thanks for restoring us in your image. And nourishing us with spiritual food, now send us forth as forgiven people, healed and renewed, that we may proclaim your love to the world, and continue in the risen life of Christ. Amen.
