Daily Bible Reading – February 2023, "God’s Saving Word: Love"ಮಾದರಿ

February 20

Introduction

The Third Letter of John was written by “the Elder” to a church leader named Gaius. The writer praises Gaius for his help to other Christians and warns against a man named Diotrephes. Christians are encouraged to support those who travel around sharing the good news.

Scripture Reading

3 John

Today’s Key Verse:3 John 11b

Whoever does good belongs to God; whoever does what is bad has not seen God.

Reflect

Based on this brief letter, how would you describe Gaius’s church? What kinds of problems was Diotrephes causing in the church? What qualities do you believe a church leader should possess?

Pray

Gracious God, bless all who lead your churches. Give them wisdom, confidence, and humility to lead your people according to your will. Amen.

And now, join us in praising God that the Acholi Braille Bible is inspiring believers in Uganda. Merciful God, in 2021, the first Acholi Braille Bible was launched. Before that time, the Braille Bible was available only in English. Around 1.6 million people speak Acholi in northern Uganda and parts of South Sudan. Now, Lord God, Acholi speakers, including Acholi speakers with visual disabilities, can connect with your Word in their heart language thanks to the faithful commitment of Bible-A-Month Partners. Amen.
