In what ways does your community of faith invite and welcome people? Reread verses 23-25. How is Jesus’s ministry described? What did you learn about Jesus from these verses?

Lord Jesus, you have called me to follow you. Guide me daily and empower me to share the Good News and extend your Kingdom so that all may know of your love and salvation. Amen.
