Your Reaction To Jesus - The One Year Daily Wisdom

Your Reaction To Jesus

Read Proverbs 28

God blesses those who do not turn away because of me.

Matthew 11:6

Most people need to feel uncomfortable before they see a need to change their perspectives or behaviors. But people don’t like discomfort, and they don’t like change. Matthew 11:6 emphasizes the need for discernment regarding these feelings. Why do we feel a burden when we hear Jesus speak? Why do his words turn some people away while convicting others to hear him out?

It takes humility to see that Jesus’ words are meant to correct us, not to antagonize us. They are spoken to guide us, not alienate us. His motive is to love us, not to turn us away. Recognizing God’s intentions allows us to enjoy the gifts he has for those who aren’t offended. Jesus risked rejection in order to save us.

A WORD FOR TODAY

Stay boldly true to Christ.

Today, Lord, I will remember that you had my best interest in mind when you inspired the Bible. I will remember that when I study your Word.
