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

Daily Reflection: Many times throughout his ministry, Jesus spoke of his death, burial, and resurrection. Those who followed Jesus, especially his disciples, were told of these things so that they did not go into those seasons unaware. The disciples walked closely with Jesus, and they followed him in awe. The crowd, on the other hand, walked at a distance in fear. As part of God’s family, we do not have to walk at a distance in fear, but we can follow confidently in gratefulness and awe of his sacrifice on the cross.

Daily Demonstration: Spend some time meditating on the gift Jesus gave us by dying on the cross in our place. Pay close attention to the feelings that arise. Do you look on with a sense of awe and gratefulness, or does it inspire fear? Perhaps ask loved ones the same question. Help to lead your loved ones into walking confidently with Christ, as well.
