6-Day Devotional
A Life That Points Others to Christ
March 14 | Saturday  
John 6:37 (NIV) 
“All those the Father gives me will come to me, and whoever comes to me I will never drive away.” 
Exhortation 
Jesus’ invitation is wide and welcoming: anyone who comes to Him will never be turned away. This promise reveals the heart of the gospel and the mission of every believer. When we experience the satisfaction Christ brings, our lives become a testimony to others who are still searching. The world is filled with people who are hungry for meaning, hope, and peace. As followers of Christ, we are called to point them to the Bread of Life. Our words, actions, and faith can guide others toward the Savior who welcomes every seeking soul and offers eternal life. 
Reflection 
A satisfied soul becomes a powerful witness. When people see the peace, hope, and joy that Christ brings, they become curious about the source of that transformation. Evangelism is not simply sharing information—it is sharing the life we have found in Jesus. As we walk with Him daily, our lives naturally reflect His love. Every conversation, act of kindness, or word of encouragement can point someone toward Christ. God invites us to participate in His mission by showing others where true satisfaction can be found. When we live faithfully, our lives become an invitation for others to come to Jesus. 
Life Application 
Today, look for one opportunity to share Christ’s hope with someone. Offer encouragement, share a testimony, or pray for someone in need. Even a small act of faith can become a doorway for someone to discover the Bread of Life. 
Prayer 
Lord Jesus, thank You for welcoming me when I came to You. Help me share Your love with others who are searching for hope. Use my words and actions to point people to You, the Bread of Life who satisfies every soul. Amen.

When Darkness Is Exposed.
March 16 | Monday 
Scripture Focus 
John 8:12 (NIV) 
“When Jesus spoke again to the people, he said, ‘I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.’” 
Exhortation 
When Jesus declared Himself the Light of the world, He was speaking during the Feast of Tabernacles while massive lamps illuminated the temple courts. Those lights symbolized God’s guidance in the wilderness. Yet Jesus boldly proclaimed that He was more than a symbol—He was the true Light. His light does not merely brighten our surroundings; it reveals the condition of our hearts. When Christ shines into our lives, darkness cannot hide. Sin, confusion, fear, and deception are exposed. This moment of exposure is not meant to condemn us but to awaken us. Before transformation begins, we must first see clearly. The light of Christ brings conviction that leads to life. 
Reflection 
Darkness often feels comfortable because it hides what we do not want to confront. We can live with hidden attitudes, unconfessed sins, quiet doubts, and subtle compromises. But when Jesus shines His light, we suddenly see things differently. The motives of our hearts become visible. The paths we thought were harmless suddenly appear dangerous. This can be unsettling, yet it is also deeply hopeful. Light reveals not to destroy but to restore. The moment Christ exposes darkness in our lives is the moment healing begins. God does not shine His light to shame us. He shines it to guide us out of darkness into freedom. 
Life Application 
Ask God to search your heart today. Take a few moments in prayer and honestly examine areas where darkness may be hiding—attitudes, habits, or thoughts. Invite the light of Christ to expose and cleanse them. Confession is the first step toward walking fully in God’s light. 
Prayer 
 Lord Jesus, You are the Light of the world. Shine Your truth into my heart today. Reveal anything that keeps me from walking closely with You. Give me courage to face what You show me and humility to surrender it. Thank You that Your light leads me toward freedom and life. Amen
