Sunday 3 March
Read Luke 4:31–5:16
Think
“I must proclaim the good news of the kingdom of God to the
other cities also; for I was sent for this purpose.”
Jesus tells us that his purpose was to proclaim the good
news of the kingdom of God. His message
is not ‘just’ spiritual; it is also about a way of living – a regime.
For the task of spreading the news of the Kingdom Jesus
enlists helpers like Peter, James and John and Jesus message was so compelling
and so important that these disciples “Left everything and followed him” to
become ‘fishers of men.’
Do you realize how important the good news of the kingdom of
God is for the world?
Pray
In the Lord’s prayer we are taught to pray: “Your Kingdom
come!” Spend some time praying for and
dreaming of the kind of Kingdom God would want to see in our world. Ask God to show you an area of your life that
you can submit to his reign.
