Daily Bible Readings for Thursday, 4 January 2007

Let no one deceive you, my children! Whoever does what is right is righteous, just as Christ is righteous. Whoever continues to sin belongs to the Devil, because the Devil has sinned from the very beginning. The Son of God appeared for this reason, to destroy what the Devil had done.

Those who are children of God do not continue to sin, for God's very nature is in them; and because God is their Father, they cannot continue to sin. Here is the clear difference between God's children and the Devil's children: those who do not do what is right or do not love others are not God's children.

- 1 John 3:7-10

God the Ruler of the World

Sing a new song to the Lord; he has done wonderful things!
By his own power and holy strength he has won the victory.

Roar, sea, and every creature in you; sing; earth and all who live on you.
Clap your hands, you rivers; you hills, sing together with joy before the Lord, because he comes to rule the earth.
He will rule the peoples of the world with justice and fairness.

- Psalms 98:1, 7-9

The First Disciples of Jesus

The next day John was standing there again with two of his disciples, when he saw Jesus walking by. "There is the Lamb of God!" he said.

The two disciples heard him say this and went with Jesus. Jesus turned, "What are you looking for?"

They answered, "Where do you live, Rabbi?" (This word means "Teacher.")

"Come and see," he answered. (It was then about four o'clock in the afternoon.) So they went with him and saw where he lived, and spent the rest of that day with him.

One of them was Andrew, Simon Peter's brother. At once he found his brother Simon and told him, "We have found the Messiah." (This word means "Christ.") Then he took Simon to Jesus.

- John 1:35-42
