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

Daily Reflection: Following Jesus’ example requires sacrifice. Even so, he promises that we will be given a hundred-fold in return. When you pledge loyalty to the kingdom of God, you become part of the ekklesia and are connected to all of God’s family and blessings. These blessings do come with persecutions by the world, but if we endure, we know that the reward is eternal life. This kingdom perspective is what drove the character of Jesus as he ministered to others. God gives generously to his family, which allows us to be generous to others as a demonstration of the kingdom.

Daily Demonstration: Our Father has given us so much, and we have the opportunity to model that generosity in our world. Generosity isn’t always financial; you can be generous with your time, your words, and many other ways. Look for an opportunity to be generous to someone today.
