It’s a beautiful day to be a neighbor.
Today’s Family Wins devotional reflects on Hebrews 7:25 — “Therefore he is able to save completely those who come to God through him, because he always lives to intercede for them.”
Umpires. Referees. Arbitrators. Judges. Without them, disputes never get settled. But a dispute of eternal dimensions, between a sinful human race and a holy God, required a Mediator who could go between heaven and earth. God acted. He sent the only One fully qualified to represent His need for justice and our need for mercy: the God-man, Jesus Christ. Jonathan Edwards unpacks God’s unilateral action on our behalf. The redeemed depend on God for everything: wisdom, the pardon of sin, deliverance, acceptance in His favor, grace, holiness, true comfort and happiness, eternal life and glory. We receive it all through a Mediator, and that Mediator is God. God not only gives us the Mediator. He accepts His mediation. Our blessings were purchased, and God is the Purchaser. More than that, Christ, who is God, paid the price by offering Himself. God is both the purchaser and the price. Paul puts it plainly: “For there is one God and one mediator between God and mankind, the man Christ Jesus, who gave himself as a ransom for all” (1 Timothy 2:5-6). The price of man’s rebellion was high. It demanded nothing less than the death of the Mediator. His response was love personified. He offered Himself (Hebrews 7:27). And you have God to thank that He did all of that for you.

A godly husband isn’t made in a day. Neither is a godly wife, a godly father, or a godly mother. They’re made in moments like this one — one verse, one choice, one day at a time.
