Accepting Jesus!
"Anyone who welcomes you is welcoming me, and anyone who welcomes me is welcoming the Father who sent me. If you welcome a prophet as one who speaks for God, you will receive the same reward a prophet gets. And if you welcome good and godly people because of their godliness, you will be given a reward like theirs." -- Matthew 10:40-41 (NLT)
KEY THOUGHT:While the previous verses have been about the disciples' willingness tostand with Jesus for Jesus and for Jesus and to proclaim Jesus no matter the hostile odds, these next few verses reassure us of Jesus'presence and concern about what happens to us. For people to reject us,with our message of salvation, we must realize they are not rejecting us, but Jesus. Through his people and through the Word of the Bible,Jesus reveals himself. But Jesus goes a step further; he promises that those who welcome Gospel messengers will receive rich rewards.
PRAYER:Loving God, please help me realize and remember that when I share Christ with others, I bring them your blessing and your salvation through Jesus. Increase my boldness to proclaim the Gospel of Jesus in a way that is both truthful and challenging. In Jesus' name I pray.Amen.
