Today’s Devotional
In this passage, the Apostle Paul highlights the spiritual blindness that afflicts unbelievers, as the god of this age has blinded their minds. This spiritual blindness prevents them from seeing the truth and beauty of the Gospel, which reveals the glory of Christ. As followers of Jesus, we must recognize the challenges that unbelievers face in understanding and accepting the message of the Gospel.
Moreover, it is our responsibility as Christians to be bearers of the light, sharing the Gospel with those around us. The light of Christ has the power to break through the darkness and bring clarity to the blinded minds of unbelievers. By faithfully sharing God’s Word and living out the teachings of Jesus, we become a beacon of hope, guiding others to the life-changing truth of the Gospel.

Today Wisdom
As Christians, we have the great privilege and responsibility of sharing the light of the Gospel with those who live in spiritual darkness. Let us not take this task lightly, but instead, approach it with prayerful dependence on the Holy Spirit and a genuine love for those who do not yet know Christ.
Together, as the body of Christ, we can illuminate the darkness and lead others to the life-changing truth of the Gospel. In doing so, we participate in God’s redemptive work, bringing hope, healing, and transformation to a world in desperate need of the love of Christ.
