ECWA Food for the Day – 17th August, 2025
The religious leaders knew the Scriptures but missed Jesus, the very source of eternal life. True knowledge of God must lead us to Christ, not just theology.

When Jesus healed a man bedridden for 38 years, the religious leaders saw a law broken, not a life restored. Are we letting rules overshadow love?
Jesus broke cultural barriers to reach a Samaritan woman, and her testimony led many to believe. What might happen if we shared the gospel with those society overlooks?
Jesus teaches that our true nourishment is doing the will of God, not chasing physical gain. In a world driven by wealth and power, are your priorities aligned with His kingdom?
Jesus offers living water that quenches spiritual thirst forever, reaching even the outcast and broken. Are you ready to trade your old wells for His eternal supply?
John the Baptist’s humility shines as he rejects envy and embraces his God-given role, teaching us to overcome one of the seven deadly sins.
Nicodemus said, “We know…”, a subtle admission that even the learned leaders recognized the divine hand in Jesus’ ministry. Yet, knowledge alone isn’t salvation. Many today, like Nicodemus, know about God but lack a personal relationship with Him.
Many justify drinking alcohol by saying, “Jesus turned water into wine.” But the wine Jesus made at Cana was fresh, unfermented grape juice, called “new wine” in Scripture, not intoxicating alcohol. God cannot contradict Himself by blessing what He forbids.
When Philip met Jesus, he didn’t keep it to himself, he found Nathanael. Though skeptical at first, Nathanael became a believer after encountering Christ. Many “Nathanael’s” are still waiting, will you go after yours?
John the Baptist wasted no time on protocols or personal glory. He introduced Jesus as the Lamb of God and made Him the focus. Today, our churches need to return to that simplicity and urgency.
