  • Cut and Comforted – April 23, 2026

    https://wels2.blob.core.windows.net/daily-devotions/20260423dev.mp3 Listen to Devotion When the people heard this, they were cut to the heart and said to Peter and the other apostles, “Brothers, what shall we do?” Peter replied, “Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. And you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. The promise is for you and your children and for all who are far off—for all whom the Lord our God will call.” Acts 2:37-39 Cut and Comforted When the apostle Peter preached to the crowd in Jerusalem on the Day of Pentecost, he did not soften his message. “You crucified him,” Peter said. The very Savior that God had promised, the one sent to rescue them, they had rejected. And the people felt it. Luke says they were “cut to the heart.” That’s what God’s Word does. It doesn’t flatter us. It doesn’t tell us we’re basically fine. It tells us the truth. Our sin isn’t small. It isn’t someone else’s problem. Left alone, it separates us from God. When that truth sinks in, the question arises: “What shall we do?” It’s the most natural question in the world. When you realize something is broken, you want to fix it. When you realize you’re guilty, you want to make it right. But Peter’s answer is not, “Try harder.” It’s not, “Do better next time.” He says, “Repent and be baptized… for the forgiveness of your sins. And you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.” Notice how active God is in that sentence. Forgiveness is given. The Spirit is given. The promise is given. We bring the sin. God brings the rescue. That is how faith begins. God’s law cuts so that his gospel can heal. He shows us our desperate condition so that we will see how desperately we need Jesus. And then he gives him to us. Through his Word, through baptism, through the message of the cross, God applies what Jesus has done. Not partly. Completely. Not because we earned it. Because Christ did. The same God who exposes our guilt also washes it away. The promise is for you. Prayer: Holy Spirit, cut away my pride and self-reliance. Then comfort me with the full forgiveness won by Jesus. 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 – Walking with Jesus’ Promises – April 17, 2026

    Watch the Devotion Based on Luke 24:13-35 Walking with Jesus’ Promises “This is not what I thought it would be.” I’m not sure what the Navy recruiter told him, or what he expected life in the Navy to be, or what he chose to hear from his recruiter, what his friends or family said, but after two years in, this is not what he expected. I can see you smiling as you listen to this devotion – because you know. After a PCS, a deployment, a school, the transition from active to civilian – you heard all sorts of things, but until you get there, it can be a different experience. And you may find yourself saying, “This is not what I thought it would be.” There are all kinds of struggles – both emotional and spiritual – that go along with it.   You’re not alone. This is nothing new, especially for God’s people. That first Easter evening, two of Jesus’ disciples began their slow walk from Jerusalem to a village called Emmaus. Jesus sidles up to them on their walk and joins their conversation. He plays dumb when they share the news about their teacher, Jesus from Nazareth whom they had hoped was the Messiah, the Christ, was now dead. And there were rumors about a resurrection. They said, “He wasn’t what we thought he would be.”   Starting with Scripture Jesus began to teach them what the Holy Spirit had said about him all along, to correct their misconceptions about the Messiah.   When you find yourself in those life situations that force you to say, “This is not what I thought it would be,” the soul asks of God, “Didn’t you say something about this? Why aren’t you doing what you said you would do?”   Sometimes like those two disciples we believe things about God that aren’t true. For example, have you ever said this or had someone say this to you, “God helps those who help themselves.” It can be used in a situation where you’ve made some questionable decisions and in order to free yourself from more dire consequences you are encouraged to put some effort forward and then God will help you the rest of the way. Nowhere in Scripture does God promise this to you.   In fact, the opposite is true. The Bible says, “When we were still powerless… while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.” (Romans 5:6,8). When we are completely helpless, when we say things like, “This is not what I expected,” Jesus sidles up to us and with his words says, “Here is what I have promised you. First, that I died for you. So, for all those times you’ve pegged me for things I haven’t promised you, I forgive you for that. I rose from the dead so that you may know that all the promises I made in the Bible, they will happen. I will keep them, just for you. And this one that you struggle with, “God helps those who help themselves,” I have promised you, “God helps the helpless. God is the strength of the weak. God will give glory and relief after you suffer the crosses you must carry. God loves you.”   My friends, keep walking with Jesus, so that you know what he has promised. Cling to what he has promised.     Prayer: O God, by the humiliation of your Son, you lifted up this fallen world from the despair of death. By his resurrection to life, grant your faithful people gladness of heart and the hope of eternal joys. Grant hope to those who struggle to see your Almighty guiding hand in the current conflicts of the world. Grant wisdom to our leaders so that there may be peaceful resolutions in the Middle East. We ask this in the name of your Son, our Risen and living Savior. Amen.   Written and recorded by Rev. Paul Horn, WELS National Civilian Chaplain to the Military, San Diego, California.
