No One Else
S. O. A. P.
Here’s Your 90 second AM Devotional!
S-cripture:
Acts 4:12
Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to mankind by which we must be saved.
O-bservation:
Peter and John had healed a man who had been crippled from birth at the gate Beautiful that day. He was put at that gate every day, where he would beg from the passersby. When Peter and John walked past him, he asked them for money. Peter told him he didn’t have any money, but what he did have, he would freely give him. Then he told him to get up and walk. At that moment, the man was healed.
A-pplication:
This miracle got everyone’s attention because everyone knew the lame man had been there for years and was now healed. Many gathered around Peter and John, and Peter preached. The leaders of the priests and captains of the temple guard had Peter and John put in prison overnight. But the next day, they were released, and they began to preach again. Peter finally told the crowds in closing that there was “No One Else” who could give them salvation because there is no other name given to humankind by which we must be saved. Of course, they were speaking of Jesus. From this point on, since there were now over five thousand believers in Jerusalem, the Christian faith grew and grew because the people learned that there was “No One Else” who could save them and give them eternal life but Jesus.
P-rayer:
Dear Jesus,
Since the day I knew who you were, and you saved me at a young age, I’ve been telling people that there is “No One Else” who can save them but You, my Lord. Amen
