God’s Greatest Miracle God so loved the world that he gave his only Son. (John 3:16) What would you say was God’s single greatest and most significant miracle? If you had to choose between all the mighty things God has done from the beginning of the world until now, what would you list as his crowning achievement? Most people might point to Creation. The fact that he created the world and the universe from nothing and life from dust. The way he set the stars and planets in motion, perfectly placing the galaxies in the sky. We look at the expanse of the universe and stand in awe of God’s power and authority, and we imagine that this must certainly be God’s greatest accomplishment. But is that how God would answer the question? What do you think he would say when asked about his greatest miracle? Just a quick glance through the pages of Scripture gives us enough insight to see the answer. The story of Creation is dealt with in the beginning of Genesis. It starts at Genesis 1:1 and ends ten paragraphs later at Genesis 2:4 with the words “This is the account of the creation of the heavens and the earth.” And what is the message behind the balance of God’s Word? From that verse forward until the last word of Revelation, what story is God telling? What miracle gets the most press in God’s great Book? The redemption of God’s people. God’s plan to restore humanity to himself after the fall of Adam. God’s strategy to save people from their sin and bring them safely home to paradise. If the Bible is an example of God’s priorities, then the redemption of humanity is easily his greatest miraculous feat. And why wouldn’t he see it that way? Look at what it cost him. The Creation cost God six days. Man’s redemption cost him his only Son. Creation took a little time out of his calendar. Redemption ripped through the core of his heart. Creation took some words and breath. Redemption took his Son through the bowels of hell and back. So what is God’s greatest miracle? That would be you and me.
Today’s Reading John 3:13-17 Reflection How should you live in light of God’s greatest miracle? What will you say to God to show your love and appreciation?

The best-selling Left Behind series has captured the attention of millions of readers, and it has changed lives. It has brought millions of believers the motivation to examine their hearts. Are you ready to embrace eternity? Live each moment as if it could be your last? Your future is more important than your past. Where you are going matters more than where you have been. What you do from this day forward means much more than what you have already done. You may be affected by your past, but you are not defined by it. Not in the eyes of God. What does it mean to embrace eternity? It means grasping each breath as if it could be your last, living life moment by precious moment with your feet planted firmly on earth but your heart aimed squarely at heaven. It means learning to embrace the role of dual citizenship—living in one world while belonging to another. It is a lifestyle of living like there’s no tomorrow and then dying so that your real life can finally begin! This 365-day devotional explores the themes introduced in the Left Behind series—themes of salvation, grace, obedience, and faith. New believers as well as mature believers will find a message of faith that will inspire and motivate daily.
