Introduction
Amid persecution, Jesus encourages the disciples to remain courageous and faithful. He warns his followers that his message will create conflict and divisiveness within families, but that those who remain faithful to the gospel will receive their reward.
Today’s Key Scripture: Mathew 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.”
Today’s Reading
Matthew 10:32-42
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.
Prayer Concern
All who publicly confess to being a follower of Jesus
Tomorrow’s Reading
Matthew 11:1-19: Messengers from John the Baptist question Jesus.
