Lenten Reflections, Day 13

Written by: Gail Seeram

Reading: John 8: 31-33

Through these verses, Jesus is sending the message that if you read "my word" and meditate on "my word" then you are truly my disciples. We read the word from the Bible, which has 1000 - 2000 pages (depending on the version) and we hear the word through the sermon and readings during church – but do we follow the word? As a disciples of Jesus, we should strive to not only read the word and hear the word, but also spread the word of Jesus and follow the word of Jesus.

Let us Pray:
Jesus, as a disciple, help me to read and meditate on your word on a daily basis. Guide me to follow your example in loving God, loving people, and making disciples. Amen.

FAMILY MOMENT:

"…the truth shall set you free." It is important to remember that telling the truth is always the right thing to do. Talk with you family about what can happen when you don’t tell the truth.
Lord, help me to always tell the truth. Thank you for showing us the truth in you. AMEN
