The Bite-Sized Gospel with Aneel Aranha

Day 211

Aneel Aranha Season 3 Episode 211

Explore God's overwhelming glory in Ezekiel's vision and Jesus as the Word made flesh in John 1, discovering how divine revelation empowers faithful witness and mission.


Reflection
In today's readings, God reveals His overwhelming glory to Ezekiel while commissioning him as a watchman. John introduces Jesus as the eternal Word who became flesh. Both passages show divine revelation leading to mission. They call God's people to witness His glory and speak His truth faithfully, even when the message proves difficult or the audience resistant.

The key insight we can draw from these passages is this: God reveals His glory and calls us to faithful witness, equipping us for mission even when the task seems overwhelming or the audience unreceptive.

Let's break this down into a simple principle:

Encounter God's presence deeply, accept His calling courageously, and faithfully proclaim His truth regardless of response.

Here are five practical steps we can take to apply today's readings:

1. Spend 15 minutes in silence contemplating God's holiness and majesty.

2. Write down one way God might be calling you to speak truth in your sphere.

3. Identify someone who needs to hear about Jesus and pray for an opportunity.

4. Choose obedience in one area where you've been hesitant to follow God.

5. Share your faith story with one person this week.

As you go about your day, reflect on this question: How does seeing God's glory change your perspective on your current challenges?

Conclusion
Thank you for joining me today. God's glory reveals His majesty and empowers our mission. Let His presence transform your witness. Until tomorrow, may you encounter His glory and faithfully share His truth.
