Today’s Reading: Matthew 26:47–56
(EFKS Tusi Faitau Aso)
“Put your sword back in its place,” Jesus said to him.
(Matthew 26:52)
This week’s EFKS theme:
The Gospel of Matthew: From Death to Resurrection
A Thought for Today
True authority does not panic.
What This Means for Us Today
Judas arrives with a crowd carrying swords. One disciple reacts quickly with force. Jesus responds calmly and tells him to put the sword away.
He reminds them that He could call on heavenly help if He chose. He is not overpowered. He is obedient.
Presence stands steady where force reacts.
Carry This With You
Choose calm trust over hurried reaction.
A Simple Prayer
Lord, steady my heart under pressure.
Help me trust Your greater purpose.
Amen.
Today’s Invitation
When tension rises today, pause before responding.
