January 15
Introduction
Jesus encourages the disciples to remain courageous and faithful amid persecution. He warns his followers that his message will create conflict and division within families but assures them that those who remain faithful to the gospel will receive their reward.
Scripture Reading
Matthew 10:32-42
Today’s Key Verse: Matthew 10:39
[Jesus said:] “Those who try to gain their own life will lose it; but those who lose their life for my sake will gain it.”
Reflect
Yesterday we read about the challenges that face those who follow Jesus (Matthew 10:16-31). Based on today’s reading, what are the rewards of discipleship? Reread verse 38. What does it mean to you to “take up your cross” and follow Jesus?
Pray
Lord Jesus, I boldly confess that I choose to follow you. You are the Lord of my life. Empower me with your Holy Spirit to serve you faithfully always. Amen.
Tomorrow’s Reading
Matthew 11:1-19: Messengers from John the Baptist question Jesus.
