DAILY?READINGS: Numbers 11:4-35; Proverbs 9; 1 Peter 1

Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son: In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins. Colossians 1:13-14

Movies about superheroes are very popular in our culture right now. Undoubtedly they resonate with a society that feels insecure on many levels. People enjoy these stories because there is someone who will save the day even if it is only make believe. Christians don’t have to rely on a fictional tale though. We have a soaring epic to tell! “Yet while we were still sinners, Christ died for us” (Rom. 5:8). He has won the victory and we can rest assured that He will deliver us from all things even death itself.  —Danielle E.

I love to tell the story, more wonderful it seems,
Than all the golden fancies, of all our golden dreams. —A. C. Hankey
