Dear Friends of "Dial Daily Bread":
The four gospels demonstrate a universal gift of grace to “all men.” Jesus never asked for a prerequisite condition for healing, even for raising the dead, other than simple believing, or faith. Often didn’t ask for even that.
• Matthew 3:17: the Voice that embraced “My beloved Son” embraced the human race. As He is the Second Adam, all are “in Him.”
• 14:19-21: no tickets or prepayment were required for the “5000” to have a meal.
• 25:14, 15: “talents” given to “every man.”
• 26:28: Christ’s blood shed “for many for the remission of sins,” that is, for all (“remission” = taking the sins away from the heart).
• Mark 4:3-18: the Lord’s “seed” sown everywhere, much wasted.
• 8:2-9: 4000 have a free meal, no repentance, worthiness required.
• 14:3-9: Mary’s prodigality with “very precious” ointment illustrates a prodigal, universal justification Christ gives to the world—much of which appears “wasted” as was her perfume.
• 16:15, 16: good news of what Christ has already accomplished for “all the world” to be proclaimed to every individual; then “he who believes and is baptized” is saved to eternal life; this present life a prelude to that.
• Luke 2:9, 10: the “you” to whom comes “good tidings of great joy” is “all people” (panti, each person) for unto them “is born ... a Savior.”
• 3:3-6: “all flesh [parsa sarx] shall see the salvation of God,” obviously the Loud Cry yet to lighten the earth (Rev. 18:1-4).
• 23:34: all who crucified Christ forgiven before they ask to be forgiven.
• John 1:4: “life” possible only because all are already “redeemed” in Christ.
• Vss. 5, 9: only by much more abounding grace can “every man” be so “lightened” (Rom.
• 1:29: as “Lamb of God [He] takes away sin of the world,” not just of the saints.
• 3:14-19: implies two-fold redemption, (a) this present life for “all,” (b) eternal for those who “believe.”
• 4:42: He is “Savior of the world.” If you breathe, you’re included. Don’t despise the salvation He gives you and “sell” it (Heb.
• 10:10: far more than physical existence the animals enjoy; includes the blessings of “the more abundant life” Baby Boomers or Gen-Xers enjoy in such generosity from His hand. Isn’t it time they learn to appreciate the Source of it all?
• 16:8: the Spirit cannot “convict of sin” unless first the world has been given salvation in Christ. He can’t convict of sin not committed.
