Today’s Reading:
Matthew 13:53–58 (EFKS Tusi Faitau Aso)
“And they took offense at him.”
(Matthew 13:57)
This week’s EFKS theme:
The Gospel of Matthew — The Authority of Jesus (Questioning and Establishing It)
A Thought for Today
Sometimes familiarity can make us overlook what God is doing right in front of us.
What This Means for Us Today
The people of Jesus’ hometown knew His family and thought they knew Him too.
Their familiarity became a barrier to faith.
We can also become so accustomed to hearing about Jesus that we forget to approach Him with wonder, trust, and an open heart.
Carry This With You
Stay open to what Jesus wants to show you.
A Simple Prayer
Lord Jesus, keep my heart open to You.
Help me never become too familiar to listen.
Today’s Invitation
Read today’s passage slowly.
Ask Jesus to show you something you may have overlooked.
