Red Letters: A Jesus Devotional

by Philip Monnin

To many, Jesus has become the iconic figurehead of a stale and lifeless Christianity instead of the vital power that flows through each member of his living Body on earth. This has created a crisis of faith within His Church. We are confused, increasingly divided, and mostly out of step with what He is doing in the world around us. We read the words He spoke to us when He walked upon the earth 2,000 years ago, but we no longer acknowledge that their timeless truths apply to us. Instead, we have replaced these truths with intellectual conjecture, personal opinion, dubious theology, and worldly philosophies. His messages of unconditional love, unfailing mercy, and personal humility have been consumed by self-righteousness, prejudice, and arrogance. Discipleship is spoken about, but few walk its narrow path with Him. We find ourselves being conformed by the world instead of being transformed in the midst of it by Jesus' power.Red Letters takes us back to the basics. In this devotional, Jesus speaks to us day by day through His Word and by His words. He brings us close as His beloved children, revealing His heart of love and mercy to us. His powerful truths challenge our cherished traditions, practices, and beliefs. He lifts our burdens and sets us free in love to walk with Him as His disciples...just as He intended.
