Dial Daily Bread

Dear Friends of "Dial Daily Bread":

Londoners are stout-hearted people; they’ve been through the Nazi blitzes and kept their famous stiff upper lips. But modern Terrorism causes even them to see themselves in the words of Jesus in Luke 21:25, 26: “There will be signs,...... on the earth distress of nations, with perplexity,...... men’s hearts failing them from fear, and the expectation of those things which are coming on the earth.” But in the same sermon on the Mount of Olives Jesus tells us that “this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in all the world as a witness to all the nations” before “the end will come” (Matt. 24:14). That must include London!

 

“Gospel” means good news, and Galatians makes clear that “the truth of the gospel” is the New Covenant message of justification by faith (2:5, 14-21). We keep waiting for the Lord to raise up some glowing personalities to proclaim it via TV, a movement that will “lighten the earth with glory” this way (Rev. 18:1-4). But there may be a more humble method the God of heaven will employ.

 

Jesus alludes to it in John 7. He is attending the great Feast of Tabernacles in Jerusalem. He hasn’t said much until “on the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried out [didn’t need a PA system], saying, ‘If anyone thirsts, let him come to Me and drink. He who believes in Me, as the Scripture has said [Song of Solomon], out of his heart will flow rivers of living water’”(vss. 37, 38). It’s clear: not some glowing, dominant personality; just anyone who “believes” in Him--truly; humble soul, a sinner convicted and repentant, whose heart is moved, who understands what the gospel says, who appreciates what “Christ and Him crucified” means, “constrained” selflessly by the love of Christ (2 Cor. 5:14, 15).

 

Jesus has some who do believe truly! Please, will you be one more.
