Dial Daily Bread

Dear Friends of "Dial Daily Bread":

Londoners are brave people who have endured much tribulation in their history. Still, they are not happy with continued bombings in their transit system. And those who have to ride the subways in the Washington area are perturbed, also. We who live in peaceful little villages suffer with these people in the big cities--we are all humans who feel for each other in a corporate fellowship of spirit. Whatever horrors others must suffer, we instinctively say and pray, "There, but for the grace of God, go I." In the Bible idea, the entire human race is one man--"Adam."

 

But God has a message for the world: the entire human race has been redeemed--there is a new "Adam," the Son of God. The Bible says He is "the last Adam," or the second Adam (1 Cor. 15:45). If we all who are the "first Adam" are appalled at all this human suffering and terrorism in the world, be sure--the "second Adam" is even more appalled by it.

 

The "second Adam" is a human personality as well as a divine One. His name is "Emmanel, which being interpreted is, God with us" (Matt. 1:23). He sticks closer to you than a brother (Pr. 18:24). He is "touched with the feeling" of all our pains and agonies (Heb. 4:15). "In all [our] affliction He [is] afflicted." There is an "angel of His presence" who "saves us," and "in His love and in His pity He redeems [us]" and "carries [us]" (Isa. 63:9).

 

Do you long for Him to keep His promise and to "come again, and receive [us] to Himself"? (John 14:1-3). Well, know that He longs to do just that a million times more than you want Him to! He is forced to empathize with every suffering person in the world; may He give us of His store of much more abounding grace, that we may stop hindering what He wants to do!
