CHRIST'S GREATEST WORKS

For we wrestle not against flesh
and blood, but against
principalities, against powers,
against the rulers of the
darkness of this world, against
spiritual wickedness in high
places.
—Ephesians 6:12
Jesus worked all His life. But the greatest work
that Jesus did was not in the carpenter’s shop,
nor even at the marriage feast of Cana where He
turned the water into wine. The greatest work
that Jesus did was not when He made the blind
to see, the deaf to hear, the dumb to speak, nor
even the dead to rise. The greatest work that
Jesus did was not when He taught as One
having authority, or when He scathingly
denounced the Pharisees for their hypocrisy. The
greatest work that Jesus did was not in the great
ethical program He presented to mankind—that
program which has become the foundation for
Western culture. What, then, was His greatest
work? His greatest work was achieved in those
three dark hours on Calvary. Christ’s greatest
work was His dying for us.
Prayer for the day
The battles of life must be faced, but I know
they will not be faced without You, my heavenly
Father.
