Today’s Reading: John 11:47–53
(EFKS Tusi Faitau Aso)
“It is better for you that one man die for the people.”
(John 11:50)
This week’s EFKS theme:
Maintaining unity (in the Church)
A Thought for Today
Unity is sometimes formed through sacrifice. What looks like loss can become the place where healing begins.
What This Means for Us Today
In this passage, leaders act out of fear and self-interest, yet God’s greater purpose is revealed. The death of Jesus would become the way God draws people together.
This reminds us that unity in the church is rooted in the cross. It is shaped by self-giving love rather than personal comfort.
Carry This With You
True unity is built through sacrifice.
The cross draws us together.
A Simple Prayer
Jesus, thank You for the cross.
Teach us to live with self-giving love.
Unite us through Your grace.
Amen.
Today’s Invitation
Reflect today on how the cross shapes your relationships.
Ask God to grow unity through love.
