Daily Bible Reading - September 2020 God's Life-Giving Word of WisdomCampione
September 8
Introduction
Jesus issues a series of warnings about evil and Judgment Day, and the religious leaders demand that Jesus perform a miracle. The passage concludes with Jesus offering a definition of what constitutes family in God’s Kingdom.
Scripture Reading
Matthew 12:33-50
Today’s Key Verse: Matthew 12:50
[Jesus said,] “Whoever does what my Father in heaven wants is my brother, my sister, and my mother.”
Reflect
Reread verses 33-37. How do you interpret Jesus’ statement, “A tree is known by the kind of fruit it bears”? If you were to describe yourself as a tree, what would you say and why? What does Jesus say is the basis for belonging to the family of God (verse 50)?
Pray
Loving Jesus, thank you for welcoming me into God’s Kingdom and for calling me to be a member of your family. May I grow day by day in your grace and be like a tree that bears good fruit, so that all I say and do brings glory to you. Amen.
Prayer Concern
Children in foster care.
Tomorrow’s Reading
Matthew 13:1-17: Jesus teaches about the Kingdom of heaven by means of a parable.
