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

Daily Reflection: It is no coincidence that Jesus chose 12 disciples to send into the world to preach and help the oppressed. It just so happens that God’s original family, Israel, was a nation made of 12 tribes who were called to be set apart from the nations of the world. At the onset of the mission of the 12 disciples, Jesus is sending a new nation into the world – one that would include both the Jew and the Gentile, as we will see in the book of Acts. This new nation is to witness to the world the love of God.

Daily Demonstration: In the Old Testament, the family of God existed as the nation of Israel. Today, the family of God has been extended to all those who are willing to declare loyalty to King Jesus. As you pray and fast, set aside time to express gratitude to God for his inclusion of his family through the work of Jesus. There is no greater place to be than in the eternal family of the creator of the universe!
