Luke 7:30, 33

We are joint-heirs with Christ. This is an awesome blessing! If you are doubtful and still need convincing, or if you are wavering and need some reminding, this 4-day reading plan is for you.

The word "purpose" means the reason something is done or created or exists. For Christians, we know our purpose is to glorify God—but how? Our prayer with this plan is that you would start to delve deeper into the purpose that God has called you to.

Throughout the New Testament, Jesus shows compassion toward unlikely “sinners” who expressed great faith. Whether tax collectors, Roman centurions, or Samaritan women, Jesus repeatedly shows that he came to rescue people burdened with shame. During this plan, Bible teacher and author Kat Armstrong illustrates how these stories strengthen our understanding of God’s empathy and knowledge of how all types of people express beautiful faith in Jesus.

The passage of Matthew 11 with its gospel parallels demonstrates an active interplay between the wise of the world and the wise in God’s kingdom. The ongoing crossfires and cross purposes create confusion and conflict. However, every time it’s true wisdom, God’s wisdom that prevails and the truly great, even though they may often go unnoticed, are those who are truly wise.
