Matteus 7:14

Matteus 7 is die slot van Jesus se Bergprediking en roep ons op tot onderskeiding, selfondersoek en gehoorsaamheid. Jesus waarsku teen huigelary, moedig opregte geloof aan, en herinner ons aan die realiteit van oordeel. Hierdie hoofstuk gaan oor hoe ons met ander omgaan, maar ook oor ons verhouding met God. Dit sluit af met ’n duidelike keuse: bou jou lewe op die rots van Christus of op die sand van eiegeregtigheid. Hierdie leesplan neem jou daagliks deur Matteus 7 en help jou om Jesus se woorde nie net te hoor nie, maar opreg te leef.

Humans are a lot like sheep. Just like sheep, we need a shepherd to guide us on the paths of life. Jesus is our Good Shepherd. He calls us by name, leads us out of bondage, finds us when we’re lost, knows us intimately, and keeps us from harm. He not only leads us, He loves us. Jesus laid down His life for us. Join me in this five-day study as we explore different ways Jesus shepherds us.

Who are you becoming? If you envision yourself at age 70, 80, or 100, what kind of person do you see on the horizon? Does the projection in your mind fill you with hope? Or dread? In this devotional, John Mark Comer shows us how we can be spiritually formed to become more like Jesus day by day.
