  • Jesus’ Plan – June 6, 2026

    https://wels2.blob.core.windows.net/daily-devotions/20260606dev.mp3 Listen to Devotion Then the eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain where Jesus had told them to go. When they saw him, they worshiped him; but some doubted. Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me.” Matthew 28:16-18 Jesus’ Plan Jesus came to this earth to fulfill the will of his heavenly Father. He carried out all that was necessary to save sinful, fallen mankind. When his work of redemption was complete, he returned to his glorious heavenly home. As Jesus left this earth, he wanted the good news of salvation to be spread throughout the whole world. Jesus’ greatest desire is for people to hear about all that he accomplished for them, and by hearing the gospel, come to faith in him as their Savior from sin and death. Jesus did not plan to stay on earth and spread the gospel. He did not plan to send angels from heaven to do the work of evangelism. He planned to direct his believers to tell the good news of salvation. He wanted his followers to pass down the precious truth of eternal life from generation to generation until he returned to take all his believers to heaven with him. Jesus can carry out his plan because he has all authority in heaven and on earth. Jesus is King of all creation. Jesus is the supreme commander of his army of believers and directs the conquest of his gospel in every nation of the earth. With that authority, he commissions his followers to be his missionaries. There’s no question as to what Jesus wants us to do. There is no option. He enlists us in his service to proclaim the truth of salvation to everyone. Backed by the ultimate authority of the Son of God, we shall work faithfully and confidently to fulfill our mission to proclaim the name of Jesus who lived, died, and rose, because it is absolutely true that “Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to mankind by which we must be saved” (Acts 4:12). Prayer: Jesus, your name proclaims you to be the Savior of all people. Give me the strength to live to the honor of your name and help me share the glorious message of salvation with others. Amen.   Daily Devotions is brought to you by WELS. This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-Noncommercial-No Derivative Works 3.0 United States License.

  • Military Devotion – No Sin Too Great for Grace – June 5, 2026

    Watch the Devotion Based on 1 Timothy 1:15-16 No Sin Too Great for Grace There are some interesting characters in the Bible. There is a man who killed another man in a fit of anger. Later he made excuses and tried to wiggle his way out of God’s call to lead his nation of Israel. You might know him as Moses. Another man absolutely ravaged Christ’s church, torturing and murdering Christians. He called himself the chief of sinners. You might know him as the Apostle Paul. Another man worked for a government that was godless, pagan, hedonistic, collecting taxes for that government from his own Jewish people. You might know him as Matthew.    I don’t know what you’ve done in your lifetime, serving our nation’s military, or as a military spouse, or military brat, a government contractor – I don’t know everything, but I do know a few things, because some of you have shared those things with me. I know that you and I are very similar, and that we have a lot in common with Moses, Paul, and Matthew. We are sinners, with a strong natural inclination to do to the things we want to do, ignoring the things our holy, loving God wants us to do.   I know this about me and about you, but I also know what kind of God you and I have. The same kind of God who showed grace and patience with Moses. The same kind of God who forgave Paul and called him to be an apostle in his Church. The same kind of God who called Matthew to follow him and ate and drank with all of Matthew’s tax collector buddies. No matter how great you think or believe your sin to be, it is not so great that it is beyond the reach of God’s grace. The price tag for your sin is not so costly that Jesus’ blood could not pay for it.   Listen to these words from a man who knew the enormity of sin and who rested in the greater enormity of God’s grace for him:   “Here is a trustworthy saying that deserves full acceptance: Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners—of whom I am the worst. But for that very reason I was shown mercy so that in me, the worst of sinners, Christ Jesus might display his immense patience as an example for those who would believe in him and receive eternal life” (1 Timothy 1:15-16).  My friend, rest in the greatness of Jesus’ love, his sacrifice, his payment for your sin. Nothing is beyond his ability to forgive. You are forgiven. You are loved.  Prayer: Lord Jesus, when guilt weighs heavily on our hearts, remind us that your grace is greater than our sin. As you showed mercy to Moses, Paul, and Matthew show mercy to us also. Forgive our failures. Help us rest in your perfect sacrifice for us. Lead us to trust fully in your love and to live confidently as your forgiven children. To you be honor and glory forever and ever. Amen.      Written and recorded by Rev.
