Today’s Reading:
Matthew 21:23–27 (EFKS Tusi Faitau Aso)
“By what authority are you doing these things?” they asked. “And who gave you this authority?”
(Matthew 21:23)
This week’s EFKS theme:
Authority and Governance
A Thought for Today
Our response to Jesus depends on who we believe He is.
What This Means for Us Today
The religious leaders questioned Jesus about the source of His authority.
Their question went deeper than the moment itself.
Jesus still confronts us with the question of authority. Will we allow Him simply to advise our lives, or will we trust Him enough to lead them?
Carry This With You
Let Jesus have more than your attention. Let Him lead.
A Simple Prayer
Lord Jesus, You are Lord over my life.
Help me trust Your authority and follow Your way.
Today’s Invitation
Think about one area where you find it difficult to surrender control.
Place it before Jesus today.
