Above All Voices

Date: Saturday, December 20, 2025

Readings: 2 Samuel 7:23–29 | John 3:31–36

John declares Jesus as the One who comes from above, speaking truth with authority unmatched by any earthly voice. Modern narratives are saturated with competing concerns, but God’s voice calls us to re-center our listening. Christ’s witness cuts through the noise, offering clarity where confusion reigns.

John reminds us that rejecting Jesus’ words isn’t just a disagreement, it’s resisting the very life God offers. Advent challenges us to tune our hearts to the voice that brings light, not fear; truth, not distortion. The world is loud, but the Kingdom grows through those who listen deeply and obey boldly.

Amidst the backdrop of many voices, John encourages a countercultural move: to elevate Christ’s voice above all others. His truth isn’t merely informational, it’s transformational, reorienting us toward trust in God rather than the instability of human wisdom.

Devotional Prompts:

• What voices most compete with Christ’s in your daily life?
• How can you create space to listen more intentionally to Jesus?
• What truths from His teaching bring you clarity right now?

Prayer:
Lord Jesus, speak above the noise of our world. Quiet our anxious hearts and help us trust the truth You reveal. Make us attentive to Your voice and bold in living out Your life. Amen.
