May 19—Acknowledge Jesus

Read

Matthew 10:32-33

Reflect

Have you ever had a significant person in your life (teacher, boss, pastor, celebrity) acknowledge you before others? Wow! Can you imagine Jesus doing that to you before his Father in heaven? Our reading tells us that Jesus will do just that if we acknowledge him before those we know here on earth. How do we acknowledge Jesus in that way? Have you ever denied knowing Jesus? It might not get headlines like Peter’s denial did, but it is equally harmful when we don’t acknowledge Jesus’s place in our lives. What does Jesus say he will do if we deny him? That’s serious stuff!

Engage

Read today’s Scripture passage. Say or write it out in your own words, considering the following questions:

· What does it say about God?

· What does it say about us?

· Is there a promise to trust?

· Is there a command to obey?

· How will I apply this Scripture to my life?

· Who will I show that I care by sharing this truth?

Memorize

Now read this week’s memory verse, 1 Thessalonians 2:4. Spend a few minutes working to memorize it.
