Exalting Jesus
The apostles’ message
was not about themselves, but about exalting Jesus as Prince and Savior (Acts
5:31). They proclaimed His death, resurrection, and exaltation to God’s right
hand.
For us today, the
temptation is to make faith about personal comfort, success, or recognition.
But true witness always points away from self and toward Christ. He is the One
who grants repentance and forgiveness. He is the exalted Lord who reigns over
all. Exalting Jesus means we live in a way that honors Him, giving Him first
place in our priorities, our conversations, and our daily choices. The more we
lift Him up, the more others are drawn to His saving power.
Scripture:
1 Peter 2:9 - But you are A CHOSEN RACE, A royal PRIESTHOOD, A HOLY NATION, A PEOPLE FOR God's OWN POSSESSION, so that you may proclaim the excellencies of Him who has called you out of darkness into His marvelous light;
Application:
Begin and end your day by exalting Jesus — thanking Him for who He is, not just what He does for you.
Prayer:
Jesus, You are exalted above every name. Teach me to honor You with my words, my decisions, and my life. May everything I do point others to You as Savior and Lord.
