Matthew 12:1-21
REFLECT
What do you think the Spirit is trying to teach or reveal to you in this reading?
How might this shape your identity as a follower of Jesus and the person God designed you to be? How might it change the world around you?
This chapter discusses the Sabbath (a day of rest customary in the Jewish faith and culture). Do you engage in Sabbath regularly? What is one thing you can take away from Jesus' teaching about Sabbath?
ENGAGE
Give it away - Write down one problem in your life. Take that problem and leave it at a place of worship, near a cross, or put it in a river and watch it float away.
