The Whole Story: A Life in God's Kingdom, Part ThreeExemplo

Daily Reflection: The son of the vineyard owner must have known that going to the vineyard at the request of his father was dangerous – but he still went. He knew that his father loved him, and he undoubtedly wanted to save what belonged to them. Jesus knew all that was ahead for him, but he loved the world and came to give his life as a ransom for many, even though he knew the cost. This example of sacrifice and selflessness is unmatched in all of human history. In the face of confrontation, he drew from the same scriptures that believers can draw from today, and the scriptures spoke to him.

Daily Demonstration: In our daily lives, may we always remember that Jesus willingly sacrificed himself for us. He dealt with disbelief, doubt, and disapproval at every turn, but he did not grow weary. May we draw strength and courage from His perfect example, and always turn to the scriptures for guidance, as Jesus beautifully modeled.
