DEVOTION
The New Testament is a wonderful collection of books and letters. The 27 books are made up of four gospels or stories, one book of history (Acts), and the rest is a collection of letters. The following six passages are significant passages in the New Testament. They give us a flavor of this collection of 27 books. Enjoy! Comments about the devotion can be Emailed to pastor@colpres.org
Philemon had a responsibility to treat Onesimus as more than just a slave. God is always appealing to our better side and wants us to live this way. As you pray today, ask God for your better side to come out. Pray that we at Chain of Lakes will always be able to share our better side with each other and with the world.
became aware that it wasnt written by Paul and it isnt categorized with the General or Catholic Letters. In this passage the writer of Hebrews shared a basic message about Jesus as our high priest. Throughout Hebrews we read about the primacy of Jesus. Jesus is more important than angels, Moses and anyone or anything else that people could put in front of Jesus. All of us are susceptible to putting something in front of Jesus. What do we put in front of Jesus? What is more important to us than our relationship to Jesus? As you pray today, be open with God about this. God is very interested in our reflections.
