Our identity isn’t built on what we’ve done wrong—or what we’ve done right—but on Jesus alone. Only grace, not performance, brings us into God’s family and His service.

As we prepare for family, services, and joyful celebration, let’s not forget that Thursday held moments of deep sorrow, challenge, and love. Join me in reflecting on the final evening Jesus spent with his disciples, and let it shape how we celebrate what’s to come.

During His ministry, Jesus revealed the ways of God’s kingdom through His teachings, miracles, and parables, demonstrating His divine authority.

There is no holding back for later when it comes to our discipleship. When it comes to following Jesus, we are called daily to give ourselves away to Jesus as well as to his visible body in the world today, the church.

Nowhere are the ugly consequences of sin made clearer than in the book of Leviticus. They make us even more grateful for the once-for-all sacrifice of Jesus.

Maybe it was while staring at God’s creation that David recalled the truth of God’s Word.
