April 30, 2026 – No, Not One
Scripture: Romans 3:10 – “As it is written: ‘There is no one righteous, not even one.’”
Devotional: “No, not one” reminds us that Jesus is unmatched and that we have no hope apart from Him. The phrase points first to our need: none of us can stand righteous on our own, and none of us can rescue ourselves. But it also points to Christ’s beauty, because He is the only One who never sinned, never failed, and never stopped loving us.
The old hymn “No, Not One” celebrates Jesus as the Friend who knows our struggles, heals our souls, and never turns away the one who comes to Him. That makes the phrase a testimony of both humility and hope: we are not enough, but He is. We are weak, but He is faithful. We are broken, but He is the Friend who stays near.
Prayer: Lord Jesus, thank You that there is no one like You. I confess that I cannot save myself, and I rejoice that You are the righteous One who stands in my place. Help me trust You fully and love You deeply. Amen.
Action: Read Romans 3:10–12 and then write one sentence finishing this thought: “There is no one like Jesus because…”
Word of the Day: Monogenēs – “unique, one and only.” This reminds us that Christ stands alone in holiness, grace, and saving power.
Wisdom of the Day: “No, not one” humbles us before our need and lifts us up in the sufficiency of Jesus.
