“There is salvation in no one else! God has given no other name under heaven by which we must be saved.” (Acts 4:12, NLT)

Peter’s declaration to a skeptical — if not hostile — audience is not made with malice. It is made as a faithful testimony to the scriptures, and to the evidence of God’s work in our time.

Each day, we have an opportunity akin to Peter and John’s, as recorded in today’s reading. If we are diligent students of the holy scriptures, and are vigilant for His presence, we will have numerous occasions to give faithful testimony.

People may dispute the former, and discount the latter; but our role as faithful witnesses remains, nevertheless.  – Luther

“For those who find me find life, and receive favor from the Lord.” (Proverbs 8: 35, NIV)

The testimony of the Lord is everywhere. We only need pay attention to see (and hear) it.

Today’s words, from the book of Proverbs, are inscribed on the museum building of the University of Kansas (my alma mater). Just across the street and up the block a bit is a large stained-glass window of Moses before the burning bush — which is also depicted on the University’s seal.

There it was (and is) for every passerby: An invitation to life, divine favor, and communion with the Holy.

What invitations from God will we see today? And what will be our response? – Luther
