Today’s Reading:
Hebrews 5:1–10 (EFKS Tusi Faitau Aso)
“Son though he was, he learned obedience from what he suffered.”
(Hebrews 5:8)
This week’s EFKS theme:
Authority and Governance
A Thought for Today
Jesus shows us that authority and obedience can belong together.
What This Means for Us Today
Christ possessed authority, yet He willingly walked the path of obedience to the Father.
We often associate authority with having control.
Jesus shows us something different: strength that submits itself faithfully to God and remains obedient even when the road is difficult.
Carry This With You
Godly authority remains submitted to God.
A Simple Prayer
Lord Jesus, teach me Your obedience.
Help me remain faithful when Your way is difficult.
Today’s Invitation
Before insisting on your own way today, pause.
Ask whether God may be calling you toward obedience instead.
