When Jesus saw the crowd around him, he told his followers to go to the other side of the lake. Then a teacher of the law came to Jesus and said, “Teacher, I will follow you any place you go.” Jesus said to him, “The foxes have holes to live in, and the birds have nests, but the Son of Man has no place to rest his head.” Another man, one of Jesus’ followers, said to him, “Lord, first let me go and bury my father.” But Jesus told him, “Follow me, and let the people who are dead bury their own dead.” Jesus got into a boat, and his followers went with him. A great storm arose on the lake so that waves covered the boat, but Jesus was sleeping. His followers went to him and woke him, saying, “Lord, save us! We will drown!” Jesus answered, “Why are you afraid? You don’t have enough faith.” Then Jesus got up and gave a command to the wind and the waves, and it became completely calm. The men were amazed and said, “What kind of man is this? Even the wind and the waves obey him!”

This reading plan from Scarlet Hiltibidal is an invitation to give up your striving, to accept that you are the worst, to embrace that you are poor in spirit, and to receive the perfect love from the very best: Jesus. God’s offering to us—the broken, the hopeless, the try-hards, and the imperfect—leads us to humility, repentance, and dependence on Jesus as our Savior. That’s where we find freedom and joy.
Leadership ebbs and flows in effectiveness based on how well we follow Jesus. Boyd Bailey reminds us in this 5-day reading plan to follow Jesus first, keep integrity and accountability at the forefront of planning, and stand up for what you know to be true for yourself and others in the role He has placed you.
In our culture, few concepts have been misunderstood and misappropriated as much as the idea of what it means to love. Luckily, in Christ we find a perfect example of what biblical love looks like. Over the next five days, we’re going to look at the way Jesus loved people to better understand how we are called to love in return.
