Scripture Reading

John 15:18-27

Today’s Key Verse: John 15:26a

[Jesus said:] “The Helper will come—the Spirit, who reveals the truth about God and who comes from the Father."

Reflect

What are your thoughts concerning Jesus’s words to his disciples? Are these words hard to hear? Why or why not? Does today’s reading contain any words of reassurance? What does today’s reading teach about the cost of discipleship? Are you aware of anyone who has been persecuted for his or her faith?

Pray

Dear Jesus, keep me close to you and strong in faith. You are my Lord and Savior, and I am your disciple. May I never stray from your teachings. Give me a spirit of boldness to proclaim the good news of your love and salvation. Amen.
