Daily Bible Reading — Sustained by God’s Word of JoySample

December 4
Introduction
Today’s reading concludes Jesus’s apocalyptic/judgment discourse with a parable to describe the judgment that will take place at his return. Up to this point, warnings have been given about being watchful and ready for Jesus’s return, but today we hear about the judgment that will take place “when the Son of Man comes.”
Today’s Scripture: Matthew 25:34a
Then the King will say to the people on his right, ‘Come, you that are blessed by my Father!’
Today’s Reading
Matthew 25:31-46
Reflect
How are the two groups of people in today’s reading described? How will each group be treated? What does today’s reading teach you about how to live your life today? According to Jesus, in what ways can people show God’s love to others? In what ways do you show God’s love to others?
Pray
God of grace and mercy, teach me to live in a way that demonstrates your love to others. Amen.
Prayer Concern
The poor and marginalized in society
Tomorrow’s Reading
Psalm 24: The LORD is praised as the great king.
Scripture
