Far from an empty ritual, Jesus used His last meal the way that it seems most people try to use theirs: to send a message to the world.

If it wasn’t for God’s powerful intervention, the Israelites would have never escaped their slavery. As long as Egypt kept them working, then they wouldn’t have time to listen to God.

Our whole lives should be acts of praise and thanksgiving. That is the greatest purpose we can have in life and for Christians this is something that is woven into our identity. Praise is just what God’s people do!

We say that we need to see something to believe it, but in God’s Word we read that “faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see” (Hebrews 11:1). That's not easy, so today we look at the story of Zechariah to learn how we can believe what seems unbelievable.

Jesus showed us over and over how to help the sick, hurting and mourning and, if we dwell on His example in the Bible, we'll see how we can give our neighbors hope even in the darkest storms of our lives.

God has offered us a feast and, because of His Son, the only thing stopping us from eating at His table is ourselves. Will we trade in the bread of eternal life for a few crumbs of something that will mold and decay in a few weeks?

All daily Bible readers do one thing to build their habit of spending time in God's Word. Today we tell you what it is.

God calls us to go out into a dangerous world, full of evil and violence and hate, and the only way we are going to survive in it without becoming it is if we have something bigger in our lives shaping us.
