READING GUIDE:
- Read today's devotion below and, beginning today (see below), read also Matthew 3.
- During days 22-28 (at your own pace) read chapters 11 thru 16 from Joining Jesus on His Mission.
- After days 22-28, meet with your small group and follow the back-of-the-book discussion guide for SESSION 4.
“This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased; listen to him.” (God the Father speaking of God the Son in Matthew 17:5 ESV)
Finke explains in chapter 13, "If we want to recognize what Jesus is telling us or showing us in our daily lives, it begins with us being deeply familiar with what he's already shown us and told us in the Gospels.
Let's add something new to these daily devotions. For the next 26 days, which will take us to nearly the last day of this 50-day journey, let's read one chapter from the Book of Matthew each day. I'll include in each devotion a Bible Gateway link to the chapter for the day.
While we read each day's chapter, consider Finke's words, "Don't read to get through the words of Jesus. Read to get the words of Jesus through you."
May we also then practice what Jesus is teaching us. As James wrote, "Be doers of the word, and not hearers only..." (James 1:22a ESV)
We will start with Matthew 3 where we first see Jesus in His adult ministry.
