10.1.24 - (Jude 5)

Introduction

Hello Dwell, this is Kenneth.

[1 second pause]

Today is Tuesday, October 1st. Thanks for joining us for today's Dwell Kids Daily!

[2 seconds of silence]

For the next few minutes, I invite you to join me as we look to our Great King by opening our hearts to hear from Him through the words of the Bible.

[2 seconds of silence]

Silence

As we begin, let us remember that God calls His people, young and old, to be still and know that He is God. Let's take a few seconds to clear our minds, so that we can hear him better.

[5 seconds of silence]

Opening Prayer

(Tuesday)

How can a young person live a pure life? By obeying your word, Father. Teach us today, so that we may delight in your will and walk in your ways.

Passage

Today’s passage is Jude verse 5.

English Standard Version (Chapter 1)

Now I want to remind you, although you once fully knew it, that Jesus, who saved a people out of the land of Egypt, afterward destroyed those who did not believe

[3 seconds of silence]

Exhortation

Whoa. Did you catch what Jude just said? Who saved the people out of the land of Egypt? Let’s listen to that again, “I want to remind you” he says, “that Jesus saved the people out of the land of Egypt.”

Now, clearly Jude is referring to the Exodus, which was about 1,500 years before Jesus was born in Bethlehem. So here, Jude is saying that Jesus, being God, existed before he was born to Mary and Joseph.

But he wasn’t just sitting up in heaven waiting for his birth. No! He was at work on earth in the time of the Old Testament. Jesus visited Abraham before the destruction of Sodom, He wrestled with Jacob and changed his name to Israel, he met with Joshua before the battle of Jericho

Call to Action: Take a moment to consider the wonder, the majesty, and the loyal love of our great Saving King.

[7 seconds of silence]

Closing Prayer

Let’s pray together.

[3 seconds of silence]

Oh God, Father, Son, and Spirit, we are so glad that you are the true King of all things. We rejoice that you do not leave your people in bondage. You are the Saving King, and you will reign as king forever and ever.

Outro

"It's been great to be with you today."

Tomorrow, we'll be in Jude’s short letter. Until then, go in peace, and let the word of King Jesus dwell in you richly.

[2 seconds of silence]

Alternate Outro (Record Every Time)

Now, go in peace, and let the word of King Jesus dwell in you richly.
