Luke 1. 67-79
THE BIRTH OF JOHN THE BAPTIST
And his father Zechariah was filled with the Holy Spirit and prophesied, saying, 68 “Blessed be the Lord God of Israel, for he has visited and redeemed his people 69 and has raised up a horn of salvation for us in the house of his servant David, 70 as he spoke by the mouth of his holy prophets from of old, 71 that we should be saved from our enemies and from the hand of all who hate us; 72 to show the mercy promised to our fathers and to remember his holy covenant, 73 the oath that he swore to our father Abraham, to grant us 74 that we, being delivered from the hand of our enemies,
might serve him without fear, 75 in holiness and righteousness before him all our days. 76 And you, child, will be called the prophet of the Most High ; for you will go before the Lord to prepare his ways, 77 to give knowledge of salvation to his people in the forgiveness of their sins, 78 because of the tender mercy of our God, whereby the sunrise shall visit us from on high 79 to give light to those who sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, to guide our feet into the way of peace.”
-------------
Elizabeth and Zechariah's prayer is answered, so they give birth to John the Baptist. Jesus establishes in him the Gospel to be the greatest prophet among the people of Israel.
1. The fulfillment of God’s promise (v. 68):
“Blessed be the Lord God of Israel, for he has visited and redeemed his people”
John the Baptist came before Jesus, the long-awaited Messiah promised to the Jews since the time of Babylonian captivity. The birth of John the Baptist signifies the completion of God’s promise because it also announces to the Jews the birth of Jesus.
Zechariah feels the fulfillment of God’s promise and expresses gratitude to God in this today’s devotional. So, everyone who feels the accomplishment of God’s promises is called to express gratitude to God. Let’s learn every day to be thankful to God because we enjoy the benefits of the fulfillment of God’s words through Jesus Christ.
2. God listens to his servant's prayer
Elisabeth and Zechariah prayed to God for a child and waited patiently for many years. It was only in their advanced age that God answered their prayer, blessing them with a son. Although they anticipated a child, they were delighted to receive a son. What enjoyable is to see Zechariah's unwavering service to God, even during the years of delayed answers to their prayer. He persevered in his ministry, maintaining confidence while awaiting the fulfillment of their prayer.
The announcement of the birth of John the Baptist serves as evidence that those who earnestly serve God will receive answers to their prayers in God's perfect timing. Whether prayers are answered or not, it is crucial to remain steadfast in serving God.
3. The grace for the Jews (v. 77)
“to give knowledge of salvation to his people in the forgiveness of their sins”
John the Baptist's mission is to guide the Jews on the righteous path, preparing them to honorably receive the Lord, Jesus Christ. John's role is crucial as he makes them ready to welcome the Savior. Having John among the Jews is a significant grace because he serves as a mentor, preparing them to encounter Jesus. When they eventually meet Jesus, redemption follows.
John’s presence as guide and instructor facilitated numerous encounters between Jews and Jesus, allowing them to win the benefits of salvation. Similarly, Malagasy people can enjoy the benefits of the church leading them towards the Lord Jesus for redemption. This represents a grace for the nation, as the church becomes a platform facilitating the encounters with Jesus Christ.

Matthiew 15: v 1-9
THE UNRIGHTEOUS COMING TO THE RIGHT ONE.
Then Pharisees and scribes came to Jesus from Jerusalem and said,
2 “Why do your disciples break the tradition of the elders? For they do not wash their hands when they eat.”
3 He answered them, “And why do you break the commandment of God for the sake of your tradition?
4 For God commanded, ‘Honor your father and your mother,’ and, ‘Whoever reviles father or mother must surely die.’
5 But you say, ‘If anyone tells his father or his mother, “What you would have gained from me is given to God,”
6 he need not honor his father.’ So, for the sake of your tradition, you have made void the word of God.
7 You hypocrites! Well did Isaiah prophesy of you, when he said:
8 “‘This people honor me with their lips, but their heart is far from me;
9 in vain do they worship me, teaching as doctrines the commandments of men.’”
----------
When we read the scriptures of the Gospels, we may have noticed instances where Pharisees and Scribes engage in conversations with Jesus, often focusing on debates about laws, their observance, and traditions. Jesus points out that they break the commandments of God due to their adherence to numerous other traditions.
Jesus discusses the paradox of those who claim to be keepers of the law and experts in the scriptures yet violate these laws and scriptures by prioritizing ancestral instructions. Today’s devotional is comforting us to:
1. Come to the Truth for salvation (v. 1, 2):
"Then Pharisees and scribes came to Jesus from Jerusalem and said, 'Why do your disciples break the tradition of the elders? For they do not wash their hands when they eat.'" The reason this group approaches Jesus is to accuse Him, asserting that He permits His disciples to disregard tradition of elders regarding handwashing. They aim to convey to Jesus that He is wrong and makes mistakes by not adhering to these ceremonial washings, especially as a social teacher among the Jews. The Pharisees and Scribes believe they are in the right, presenting themselves as clear-minded individuals with the authority to accuse Him. We are witnessing a guilty party confronting an innocent one. When a guilty person approaches the righteous, it suggests seeking salvation for the mistakes committed. Unfortunately, this is not the case with the Pharisees and Scribes; instead, they expanded their wrongdoing. As for us, when we come to Jesus, we are not blameless either, but we should approach with a hope for salvation. In such circumstances, we undoubtedly receive justification and salvation.
2. Come to the Truth for improvement
"So, for the sake of your tradition, you have made void the word of God."
In this context, the elevation of God’s commandments, as Jesus teaches, is more important than adhering strictly to the tradition of the elders. As caretakers of the laws, Jesus reminds them of the significance of God’s commandments over ancestral teachings. No laws or instructions can go beyond the importance of God’s commandments. Indeed, aligning ourselves with God’s laws makes us obedient to all societal laws and instructions that do not conflict with God’s will. Considering social instructions and laws above God’s commandments becomes a temptation for people. Here, Jesus clearly teaches that it is inconceivable to exchange or revoke scriptures and the words of God to follow others’ commands. There is a trend to introduce as doctrines the commandments of men, the instructions, and laws to make pressure to people on following and accepting them. In nowadays’ society, living in a tightening environment, many choose to follow unconventional instructions due to fear of the power. One notable example is the institutionalization of gay marriage as a national law. The church strongly protests this instruction, particularly the FJKM church, as God's word teaches us about Christian, explicitly stating that it is the union of one man and one woman. Therefore, stand firmly by the truth taught in the scriptures, as it defines us as true Christians.

1 John 5. 1-3
THE TRUST IN JESUS CHRIST
1Everyone who believes that Jesus is the Christ has been born of God, and everyone who loves the Father loves whoever has been born of him. 2 By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God and obey his commandments. 3 For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments. And his commandments are not burdensome.
----------
Everyone who puts their faith in Jesus Christ is "born of God." the marks of true believers including love and proper belief about Jesus. Put our trust in Jesus and believing and accepting Jesus’ saving work, that has consequences in the Christian life:
1. It is a sign of being a Son of God
“Whoever believes that Jesus is the Christ, is born of God”- v.2
Being born of God represents being a God’s child. Having the image of God is the proof of being the child of God. But because of sin, we do not have this image either. God then was looking for a way to make us His child once again. Through faith in Jesus as Messiah, we are restored to being born again as God’s child. We are born again since we have entered into a relationship with God through Jesus Christ, such as being taught by Jesus to Nicodemus.
Trusting Jesus as the Messiah brings back to us the true image of God that was lost in Eden. Whoever does not fill-out this confession of faith in Jesus, and whoever does not obey the Son shall never be a child of God. This faith in Jesus Christ gives us the legitimacy of being child of God. After all, by this how God will recognize us in the future when He will separate the wheat from the weeds. We are blessed because we believe in Jesus which restores us as His child.
2. The love dwells in us:
“and everyone who loves Him who begot also loves him who is begotten of Him”
When we put our trust in Jesus, His saving works in our lives. By placing our total trust in God, we can rely on Him to direct our path. True believers were described as “abiding in God”. When we earnestly seek to be obedient to Jesus, we will abide in His love. So our love and obedience to God is a demonstration of love to the body of Christ.
Indeed, when we are conquered by temptations of this world, and if we go on sinning deliberately, we are separated from God’s love and we become God’s enemies. Even the Jews became Jesus’ enemies and managed to kill the Son of God. The Jews is the human beings ‘portray which are dominated by sins to act dangerously.
Trust in God is important because it leads naturally to love, just as much as our love for the people of God reflects our love for God. By this we are known as God’s child.
3. It leads us to obedience:
“When we love God, we keep His commandments. His commandments are not burdensome when we see how wise and good the commandments of God are.” v.3
Our love and obedience to God is a demonstration of love to the body of Christ. When we love God, then we will keep His commandments. No one is good except Jesus Christ and He dwells in us through His Holy Spirit that teaches us this obedience to God. Whoever has God’s commandments and keeps them, he it is who loves God. And whoever loves God has been born of God and knows God. When we love God, we shall not love other gods before Him. Those who truly love God assumed that we will love others who are begotten of Him – our brothers and sisters in Christ. We show this love for others through obeying God's commands.
These are not isolated items on a checklist but the collective contour of Christian living. Thus, faith, love, and obedience are all inseparably bound together. His grace that sustains us and He is the one who causes our spiritual growth as we come to Him in trust and in obedience.

1 John 3 : 18-24
LOVING ONE ANOTHER
Little children, let us not love in word or talk but in deed and in truth. 19 By this we shall know that we are of the truth and reassure our heart before him; 20 for whenever our heart condemns us, God is greater than our heart, and he knows everything. 21 Beloved, if our heart does not condemn us, we have confidence before God; 22 and whatever we ask we receive from him, because we keep his commandments and do what pleases him. 23 And this is his commandment, that we believe in the name of his Son Jesus Christ and love one another, just as he has commanded us. 24 Whoever keeps his commandments abides in God, and God in him. And by this we know that he abides in us, by the Spirit whom he has given us.
----------
In this chapter, John stresses his teachings about loving one another. As he states, loving one another is an old but also a new command.
1. True love is not only declared, but also displayed (verse 18)
« Little children, let us not love in word or talk but in deed and in truth »
Love, if only declared but not acted out, is an empty shell. John was so close to Jesus that he could feel the true in Jesus, and was able to teach others about it. Besides, scholars refer to John as the “beloved disciple.” Jesus actually displayed his love in his deeds, by working to bring us salvation on the cross. God displayed his true love by what Jesus performed. Therefore, if we say that we love our spouse and children, we prove that by what we do at home for their good. If anyone claims to love the church, they easily prove that by serving the church. If we claim to be patriots, we prove it by doing our part to develop the country, etc.
2. God listens to those who obey his commands (verse 22)
« And whatever we ask we receive from him, because we keep his commandments and do what pleases him. »
Those who obey God get his attention and an answer to their prayers. Let us always remember that obeying God’s commands is a testament to our love for Him. God certainly loves those who love him. And since we love God, he grants our requests. If you want to make sure you get what you ask from God, carefully obey his commands. By following God’s commands, you will make requests in line with his will, and he will grant it. Obey the commands, dare to ask, as God will actually favor you.
3. The Holy Spirit helps us (verse 24)
« And by this we know that he abides in us, by the Spirit whom he has given us. »
Obeying God’s commands is never easy. This is why God sent the Holy Spirit to help us do so. He will empower us to obey God. Always remember that Jesus himself, the Son of God, always had to be filled with the Holy Spirit during his time on earth. This enabled him to strictly obey God down to the smallest details. Give the Holy Spirit a way to work with you at all times. Allow the Holy Spirit to help you do what pleases God.

1 John 2. 3-11
WALKING AS JESUS WALKED
We know that we have come to know him if we keep his commands. 4 Whoever says, “I know him,” but does not do what he commands is a liar, and the truth is not in that person. 5 But if anyone obeys his word, love for God[a] is truly made complete in them. This is how we know we are in him: 6 Whoever claims to live in him must live as Jesus did. 7 Dear friends, I am not writing you a new command but an old one, which you have had since the beginning. This old command is the message you have heard. 8 Yet I am writing you a new command; its truth is seen in him and in you, because the darkness is passing and the true light is already shining. 9 Anyone who claims to be in the light but hates a brother or sister[b] is still in the darkness. 10 Anyone who loves their brother and sister[c] lives in the light, and there is nothing in them to make them stumble. 11 But anyone who hates a brother or sister is in the darkness and walks around in the darkness. They do not know where they are going, because the darkness has blinded them.
--------
The Gospel of John is composed of the Three Epistles and the Apocalypse. Following are the things that need to be noted:
- Gospel: Jesus Christ and His work in the world. Jesus is God's love, and His actions are the visible manifestation of the invisible love of God.
- Epistle: Encouraging the Church to live by love. It is an inspiration for Christians to cultivate godly devotion. It is an instruction to believe in pure conduct based on love of God and neighbor.
- Revelation: It shows that Jesus is ruling forever in heaven. Those who are victorious like Jesus will go to heaven with him. This was a great encouragement to the first - century congregation. Today's Christian faith is also very difficult to understand.
John tells us that through faith in Jesus, we have eternal life. He who has eternal life goes as Jesus did, because:
1. He already explains (verses 6,9)
"He who says he abides in him... The darkness is gone, and the true light is now shining."
In the world, Jesus appeared to be walking in love. He is the light of the world according to his word. He brought light into the world. Walking in love kept Jesus in the light. Darkness did not reach Jesus because of this power of love. A world that is dark, dominated by darkness because of the power of sin incites hatred and rivalry. Evil forces that destroy societies that end up destroying and killing each other. But the world is becoming lighter because we as Christians try to live in love. Forgiveness is already present in our society, resentment decreases, fewer people are taking revenge, socialism and s*x are gaining momentum, and people are beginning to feel better. This is the life of the church. And it is gratifying that Christians are fully partakers of the darkness of the world. You and I have a love for you and I who are like Jesus.
2. He coordinates the community (verse 10)
"He who loves his brother abides in the light, and there is no cause for stumbling in him."
Jesus is not the source of evil, for he is not the source of sin. Because of his walking in love, faith is a guarantee of peace and security. Love is the only way to get rid of this mess. We're already doing our best not to cause offence. The most important thing to do is to make sure that the smallest (family) is possible. It is the work of sin in man, but it is the work of God, guided by the work of love as the source of peace and peace. Jesus sought to be the source of order in the world, and though He had power to repay those who had wronged Him, He chose to forgive and be merciful. Martin Luther King said it was the power of love in his book.

1 King 2. 1-4
DAVID’S INSTRUCTIONS TO HIS SON SOLOMON
[1] When David’s time to die drew near, he commanded Solomon his son, saying, [2] “I am about to go the way of all the earth. Be strong, and show yourself a man, [3] and keep the charge of the LORD your God, walking in his ways and keeping his statutes, his commandments, his rules, and his testimonies, as it is written in the Law of Moses, that you may prosper in all that you do and wherever you turn, [4] that the LORD may establish his word that he spoke concerning me, saying, ‘If your sons pay close attention to their way, to walk before me in faithfulness with all their heart and with all their soul, you shall not lack a man on the throne of Israel.’ (ESV)
-----------
One of the things that David prepared Solomon for to succeed him was to nurture undivided relationship with God. David tried to raise and educate his son Solomon with the words of God. After all, David's family is a chosen generation, and as such, they are bound to God through His words. When David instructed Solomon, he made him aware of the importance of the value of God’s words in the administration of the kingdom. This is what the observance of God's commandment does:
1. You prosper in whatever you do and wherever you turn (verse 3)
“… and keep the charge of the LORD your God, walking in his ways and keeping his statutes, his commandments, his rules, and his testimonies, as it is written in the Law of Moses, that you may prosper in all that you do and wherever you turn”
The word “MBA” in Malagasy usually implies and suggests a goal. Observance of the commandments, rules and testimonies here aims to prosper you in what you do and where you go. Everything that is done in governing the kingdom according to David's words is perfect when the ruler carefully observes the commandments of God. There is no success at any given time if the word of God is not the standard to carry it out. The word of God, according to the Psalmist, gives wisdom in all that we do and where we go. It is a guarantee of success. Even if we do not lead a kingdom, this principle also applies to us: when our life aligns with God's commandments, we are also successful, filled with wisdom while walking in this world. This will make us stand out from the world. If you feel like you have failed in the past and want to succeed in the future, you can start it by reading and obeying the word of God.
2. Your authority will last and prevail (v. 4)
“If your sons pay close attention to their way, to walk before me in faithfulness with all their heart and with all their soul, you shall not lack a man on the throne of Israel.”
The kingdom will not leave the descendants of David if they carefully obey God's commandments. Keeping the commandments of God is a long process. You will have a long-lasting reign because the Lord will advise you on how to manage and rule the kingdom. You will have a long reign also because the Lord will be with those who observe His words. The observance of God's commandments helps sustain your ministry.
We should not forget that we live in a society where everything seems to pass and not last; the observance of God’s commandments will help us sustain and prosper us. The Lord is truly an eternal God, so those who have His word and obey it will endure like Him and succeed in everything. The success grounded on the word of God is what will sustain us.

Matthew 19:16-19
Keep the commandments to have eternal life.
16 And behold, a man came up to him, saying, “Teacher, what good deed must I do to have eternal life?” 17 And he said to him, “Why do you ask me about what is good? There is only one who is good. If you would enter life, keep the commandments.” 18 He said to him, “Which ones?” And Jesus said, “You shall not murder, You shall not commit adultery, You shall not steal, You shall not bear false witness, 19 Honor your father and mother, and, You shall love your neighbor as yourself.” ESV
----------
There was this rich man, a respected one in his community, he may be a legal expert, many also mentioned that he is a leader of the synagogue, he came to Jesus to ask some questions. He wanted to know what good actions he needed to take to inherit eternal life. Here are the messages that we need to retain when we read this passage:
1. People without eternal life feel unfulfilled.
V. 16 And behold, a man came up to him, saying, “Teacher, what good deed must I do to have eternal life?”
This man seemed being satisfied as he possessed authority and wealth. However, even though he has everything, he still felt incomplete, he felt that something was still missing. He was unsure that he truly has eternal life. He deeply searched for a response as he sensed a profound emptiness, that’s the reason he came to see Jesus.
Approaching Jesus to fulfill his emptiness is an important step this man had taken.
Today’s devotional by Matthew’s gospel emphasizes that only Jesus can provide eternal life stressing that through Jesus we can get what is lacking in life and experience true fulfillment.
This man teaches us that:
- we may have everything, but still feel unhappy when we don’t have the everlasting life.
- the most important thing to do is to come to Jesus as He is the right way to gain the eternal life.
2. Eternal life has a close connection with obeying God’s commandments.
(v.17) « If you would enter life, keep the commandments. »
This man thought about something else when he reached Jesus. Jesus teaches that eternal life has a connection with a communion and obedience to God’s words. This is not something new, this man would enjoy eternal life through the easiest way. It doesn’t require difficult ways since we have entered into a relationship with God through His words. God’s laws were given to all of us and living in obedience can guarantee us to inherit the eternal life. But we need to remember that for whoever keeps the whole law but fails in one point has become guilty of all of it.
Fortunately, God grants eternal life to all who believe in the Gospel of Jesus Christ. When a person believes in Christ as Lord, they acknowledge Him as God and submit themselves to Christ’s rightful authority over their life. This means their life revolves around living in obedience to Jesus by obeying His commands: by honoring the father and mother, not murder, not commit adultery, and love the neighbor as oneself.

Galatians 5: 13-15
LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF
For you were called to freedom, brothers. Only do not use your freedom as an opportunity for the flesh, but through love serve one another. 14 For the whole law is fulfilled in one word: “You shall love your neighbor as yourself” (Lev. 19. 18) 15 But if you bite and devour one another, watch out that you are not consumed by one another.
------------------
Many scholars agree that Paul wrote this epistle to the Galatians after the first great synod held in Jerusalem, around the year 50 after Jesus Christ. He wrote it in response to the false teachings that made it into the church, which forced Christians to follow Jewish traditions to be saved. Among other things, Paul taught that circumcision was not a requirement for salvation. Believing in Jesus Christ was enough. Faith alone can ensure our salvation. In Gal 5. 13-25, Paul teaches about the work of the Holy Spirit. He also encourages Christians to walk according to the Spirit, as a way for them to overcome the works of the flesh leading them to sin. So, as to the issue of loving one’s neighbor as oneself, let us remember the following two points.
1. That is the works of the Holy Spirit among believers
As Paul addresses the work of the Holy Spirit within people, he first mentioned love. Some scholars insist that love is actually the only work of the Spirit in people. Those who have the Holy Spirit have the ability to love, first to love God, then love one’s neighbors. Therefore, people who have the Holy Spirit stand out easily: they love God and love their neighbors. Here, we are told to love our neighbors just like we love our own selves. As such, whatever good we want to do to ourselves, we want to do for our neighbors; and whatever harm we avoid to ourselves, we keep our neighbors safe from that as well. O, Holy Spirit, always show me how I can love my neighbors as myself!
2. This is how we imitate Jesus
As per the gospel, when Jesus was on earth, he was filled with the Holy Spirit. Unsurprisingly then, he was able to love his neighbors as his own self. Besides, Jesus is the only one who truly knows how to love God, hence his ability to truly lover his neighbors as himself. Truth be told, with a closer look at Jesus’ life on this world and the way he interacted with his fellow humans, Jesus actually loved others more than he loved his own self. That is the reason he sacrificed himself to save them. Jesus loves you and me more than his own self and gave his own life to save you. Jesus further stated: « Greater love has no one than this, that someone lay down his life for his friends for salvation » John 15. 13. We thank you Jesus, for you truly love us, we will also do our best to love our friends the same way you proved us your love. That is true love!

Acts 10: v34-43
THE LORD PREACHED BY THE CHURCH.

34 Then Peter began to speak: “I now realize how true it is that God does not show favoritism
35 but accepts from every nation the one who fears him and does what is right.
36 You know the message God sent to the people of Israel, announcing the good news of peace through Jesus Christ, who is Lord of all.
37 You know what has happened throughout the province of Judea, beginning in Galilee after the baptism that John preached—
38 how God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and power, and how he went around doing good and healing all who were under the power of the devil, because God was with him.
39 “We are witnesses of everything he did in the country of the Jews and in Jerusalem. They killed him by hanging him on a cross,
40 but God raised him from the dead on the third day and caused him to be seen.
41 He was not seen by all the people, but by witnesses whom God had already chosen—by us who ate and drank with him after he rose from the dead.
42 He commanded us to preach to the people and to testify that he is the one whom God appointed as judge of the living and the dead.
43 All the prophets testify about him that everyone who believes in him receives forgiveness of sins through his name.”

---------------

When Peter was convinced that the Gentiles can take part of the salvation, he agreed to go to Cornelius who was a Gentile soldier. When he came to him, he preached the gospel to him. Following are the content of the gospel that he preached:

1- God is the Lord of reconciliation (verse 34)
"Then Peter began to speak: “I now realize how true it is that God does not show favoritism"
As stated here, God reconciled both, Cornelius who is a Gentile and Peter who is a Jew. It was not an easy for the Jews to come in the Gentiles’ home, since Cornelius was a Gentile soldier, who came to Palestine to colonize the Jews. God knew how to convince Peter to agree and come to see Cornelius enabling him to preach the gospel. God is able to reconcile two different civilizations that were enemies. The Lord is truly a God of peace. After all, this reconciliation is why Jesus came to this world

2- God is the a victorious Lord(verses 39-41)
“They killed him by hanging him on a cross, but God raised him from the dead on the third day”.
Because of sin, Jesus was killed on the cross, but God raised him from death on Easter day. Through Jesus, God defeated the grave and death, God defeated the sin that separated the world from Him. There is nothing in this world that God has not defeated including death which is the last enemy of human kind. In Jesus, we detain the power to overcome death, through Him we have strength to rise from the dead, we also overcome the world.

3- God is a Lord of forgiveness (verses 42-43)
“All the prophets testify about him that everyone who believes in him receives forgiveness of sins through his name.”

Our relationship with God was broken because of sin, but it has been restored because the Lord agreed to forgive us. This forgiveness was accomplished by God through Jesus Christ. No one can enjoy forgiveness except in Jesus Christ. Those who are in Jesus have been forgiven, and have made peace with God. If Cornelius, who is a Gentile, wants to be forgiven, he will be brought to Jesus Christ. So do I and you, all of us.
