January 15
Introduction
After instructing his disciples, Jesus continues to teach and preach in different towns, and his ministry begins to attract much attention. While in prison, John the Baptist sends messengers to inquire about Jesus. Jesus then speaks to the crowds about John.
Today’s Key Scripture: Matthew 11:6
[Jesus said:] “How happy are those who have no doubts about me!”
Today’s Reading
Matthew 11:1-19
Reflect
Reread verses 2 and 3. The Jewish people believed that God would choose and give power to a leader who would renew the faith of the people and fulfill God’s purposes for them. What did John’s messengers ask? How did Jesus respond? Reread verses 4-6. What is the Good News that Jesus talks about? Who are the messengers of the Good News today?
Pray
Lord Jesus, you bring the Good News of healing and hope to all who are in need. Empower me to proclaim your message of love and salvation and to serve the sick, the poor, and all who are in despair. I place my hope and trust in you. Amen.
Prayer Concern
Prison chaplains
Tomorrow’s Reading
