  • The Heavenly King Took Our Place – March 29, 2026

    https://wels2.blob.core.windows.net/daily-devotions/20260329dev.mp3 Listen to Devotion This took place to fulfill what was spoken through the prophet: “Say to Daughter Zion ‘See, your king comes to you, gentle and riding on a donkey, and on a colt, the foal of a donkey.’” The disciples went and did as Jesus had instructed them. They brought the donkey and the colt and placed their cloaks on them for Jesus to sit on. A very large crowd spread their cloaks on the road, while others cut branches from the trees and spread them on the road. The crowds that went ahead of him and those that followed shouted, “Hosanna to the Son of David!” “Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!” “Hosanna in the highest heaven!” Matthew 21:4-9 The Heavenly King Took Our Place It is a sad reality that you and I sin against our God every day. Because we sin, we don’t deserve to be in heaven in the presence of God for all eternity. And the alternative is not pretty. But God loves us, his creation, and took action to change what we deserved because of our disobedience. God, the ruler of all things, sent his Son, Jesus, into the world to be among us for a purpose. Instead of being an earthly king, Jesus lived a humble life and kept all of God’s laws for us. Then, even though innocent, he suffered and died for us. After three days, Jesus rose from the grave to show his power over death and the devil for us. Now you and I, by faith, can look forward to spending eternity in heaven because of our perfect substitute, Jesus. Because of what our King Jesus has done for us, we can shout with the crowd on the first Palm Sunday, “Hosanna to the Son of David!” In our excitement, we exclaim, “Blessed is he who came in the name of the Lord!” Prayer: Jesus, may your Spirit work in me the joyfulness to praise you for being my substitute and assuring me of heaven with you forever.

  • Military Devotion – MAYDAY. MAYDAY. MAYDAY. – March 27, 2026

    Watch the Devotion Based on Matthew 21:1-11 MAYDAY. MAYDAY. MAYDAY. The call comes through on VHF Channel 16, “MAYDAY. MAYDAY. MAYDAY.” Help me! The vessel is taking on water. There is a medical emergency. The vessel is on fire. Help me!   When that distress signal comes in, the U.S. Coast Guard gathers the critical information, broadcasts an Urgent Marine Information Broadcast to nearby vessels and then dispatches rescue assets like a boat or helicopter. A rescue swimmer is often a member of the MH-60 Jayhawk helicopter crew deployed to respond to a distress call.   Last month off the coast of Washington state, Petty Officer 2nd Class Tyler Jaggers was that rescue swimmer, deployed to help a distressed mariner aboard a large vessel. As Coast Guard aircrews and rescue swimmers have done thousands of times before, Tyler put his life in danger so that others may live. Unfortunately, Tyler gave the ultimate sacrifice and died in the line of duty. Someone called out, “Mayday. Help me.” and he responded.    For over 1,000 years God’s people cried out, “Help me.” The word they used wasn’t “Mayday” but “Hosanna”, which means, “Save!” On a Sunday around 30AD people lined the road that led down the Mount of Olives into the city of Jerusalem and issued a distress signal, “Hosanna! Save us!” They were already drowning… in all that they had failed to do right and in all they had done wrong in God’s sight. They needed someone to rescue them and they saw their rescuer. His name was Jesus. He came riding into the city, not on an aircraft or maritime vessel, but on a donkey. He had come to save knowing the dangers to his own life, knowing he would die in this rescue operation, but others would live.    2,000 years later we send that same ancient distress signal on that same radio frequency, “Hosanna! Come and save us!” Jesus answers that call every single time. For all that we have not done and all we have done wrong in God’s sight that makes us feel as if we are drowning in the sorrow over our sins, Jesus comes riding in through his words, “He humbled himself by becoming obedient to death—even death on a cross” (Philippians 2:8) to save you. Every single time we issue the Mayday distress signal, “Hosanna in the highest! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!” (Matthew 21:9).  Jesus comes riding in – in a very real way – through body and blood in bread and wine so that you may live.   When you feel overwhelmed by your sin and guilt, send out the distress signal, “MAYDAY. MAYDAY. MAYDAY.” “Hosanna! Come and save me, Lord Jesus!” and he will respond with free and full forgiveness so that you may live.     Prayer: Almighty and everlasting God, work in us Godly repentance that humbly and daily confesses our sins and then confidently turns to your Son Jesus, our Savior, so that we might know and believe our sins are indeed forgiven for the sake of his humble obedience and death on a cross. Comfort all who mourn the death of Tyler Jaggers. Send your holy angels to watch over those who serve as rescue swimmers. Protect them so that others may live. Amen. Written and recorded by Rev. Paul Horn, WELS National Civilian Chaplain to the Military, San Diego, California.
