Daily readings to help you see Jesus' light in your life
by Selwyn Hughes
One Faith, One Lord
"... contend for the faith that was once for all entrusted to the
saints." (v. 3)
-- For reading & meditation: Jude vv. 1-16
What makes the Christian faith different from every other faith?
Prince Charles, who is next in line to the British throne, has let it
be known that if and when he becomes king he would like to be
regarded as Defender of all faiths rather than Defender of the faith
- the Christian faith. Living now as we do in a multi-faith rather
than a Christian society, he said, it is important that this shift be
reflected in the duties of the monarch. No Christian would want to
deny any individual or group the right to follow or practice the
faith of their choice, but we must be careful that tolerance of other
religions does not cause us to fall into the trap of thinking that
Christianity is just one religion among many. Decidedly, it is not.
Christianity is in a category all by itself. If that belief opens us
up to the charge of arrogance, then so be it. Recently, I heard a
religious commentator say on television that one religion is as good
as another. One religion as good as another? How utterly absurd. It
sounds broadminded but actually it is the judgment of ignorance. No
one would ever make that statement if they understood the purpose of
Christ's coming to this world, His atoning death on the cross, and
His glorious resurrection. We are not unmindful of the spiritual glow
which comes from other lamps, but our claim for Jesus is the claim He
made for Himself - He alone is the Light of the world, and thus
utterly indispensable to salvation.
PRAYER:
O Father, help me comprehend even more fully and clearly the truths
of the faith into which, by Your grace, You have brought me. I cannot
live by opinions, I must live by convictions. May Your truths become
my convictions. In Christ's Name I pray. Amen.
