Good morning! Yesterday, we read verses on how much Jesus cares for a little sparrow and how much more he loves and cares for us. Today we will continue our reading in Matthew chapter 10. Enjoy!
BIBLE VERSES – Matthew 10:32-33 NLT
“32 “Whoever acknowledges me before others, I will also acknowledge before my Father in heaven. 33 But whoever disowns me before others, I will disown before my Father in heaven.”
REFLECTION
Over the past few weeks, we read Matthew 10 verses 10-33, we learned how Jesus comforted the twelve disciples before he sent them out. He reminded them of the power they had, who to minister to first, that they should not worry because God cares for them, and knows every detail down to the number of hairs on their heads. Now Jesus, instructs them – as they go out to acknowledge the Father before others and do not disown Him, or they will be disowned.
This time of the year, the world would have us deny Jesus and celebrate Easter, and force us to water down the Resurrection of Jesus and replace it with an Easter Bunny, and chase eggs. There have been numerous moves and petitions to put Christ Jesus and God last, but today these verses remind us to keep Him first.
Brothers and sisters don’t forget Jesus’ love for us. His love for us took Him to the cross so that our sins would be forgiven and so that we can be reconciled to God.
