Miracles and Mysteries: Matthew 8-13Sample

How do you measure what is truly valuable in God’s kingdom?

Jesus assures His disciples that anyone who receives them is, in fact, receiving Him—and receiving Jesus means receiving the Father. Even the smallest act of kindness, like offering a cup of cold water to one of His followers, will not go unnoticed by God.

This reveals the global scope of God’s plan. Just as God’s blessing was never meant for Israel alone (Genesis 12:3), Jesus is now expanding the mission. Every person has a role to play in welcoming the message of Christ, whether through direct ministry or in supporting those who bring it.

Today, ponder this: Do you see your hospitality, generosity, and service as part of something eternal?
