Morning Manna by Rufus Parker - 22 October 2022

 Step Into History

 “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. In him was life; and the life was the light of men. And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not. There was a man sent from God, whose name was John. The same came for a witness, to bear witness of the Light, that all men through him might believe. He was not that Light, but was sent to bear witness of that Light. That was the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world. He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not. He came unto his own, and his own received him not. But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name: Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God. And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.” (John 1:1-14)

 

Today’s Morsel: I don’t know about you, but I love history. History was one of my favorite subjects in school. I probably should have been a history teacher. Hey, wait a minute. I am a history teacher, and so are you if you have been born again. Aren’t we all supposed to relate the history lessons of Jesus Christ and His church? Aren’t we supposed to tell the story of His life, death, burial, and resurrection? Isn’t the Bible a history book? If you want to read a fascinating and life-changing history book, read the Bible and it will change your life and give you great insight into things past, present, and future. If you destroy the foundation of the church and its history, you can destroy its people.  Keep the foundation sure, become a history teacher, and tell the stories found in the word of God.

 

Sing: Let me walk in the light in the great gospel light, let me walk in the gospel light.  Till my journey is over and I travel no more, let me walk in the gospel like.

 

Thought For Today: If you destroy the foundation of the church and its history, you can destroy its people.
