May 18th – Matthew 28:19-20

Matthew 28:19-20

As the days grow short until the Lord’s return, Matthew 28:19-20 reminds us of the importance of sharing the gospel. Jesus commanded us to “go and make disciples of all nations,” and this mission becomes even more urgent as we see the signs of His imminent return. Though the world may grow increasingly hostile to Christians, our mandate remains unchanged. We must persevere in spreading the Good News of salvation, regardless of opposition. The eternal destiny of countless souls hangs in the balance, and our efforts can make a difference. Sharing the gospel isn’t just a duty. It’s an act of love and obedience to our Savior, who desires that none should perish. As ambassadors of Christ, we carry the hope and truth that the world desperately needs. Let us be steadfast and unwavering, knowing that our labor for the Lord is never in vain. Until He calls us home, let us continue to work diligently, shining His light in the darkness and proclaiming His name boldly.

May 17th – Matthew 25:21

Matthew 25:21

I long to see so many things when I get to heaven. Most of all to behold the face of my beloved Savior, Jesus Christ. And what my heart would burst to hear is my Lord saying, “Well done, good and faithful servant.” In Matthew 25:21, we are reminded of the critical importance of faithful stewardship as we await Jesus’ return. Our Master commands us to wisely use our time, talents, and resources, investing them in the work of God’s kingdom. As we labor in service to the Lord, we are called to maximize what He has entrusted to us, whether great or small. Each day is an opportunity to sow seeds of faith, kindness, and generosity, working for God’s eternal harvest. And obedience to our calling is both a reflection of our love for the Lord and our commitment to His purposes. So let us not grow weary or lose heart. For no efforts are never in vain when done for His glory. And one day we will hear those cherished words, “Well done, good and faithful servant.”

May 3rd – Mark 13:35-37

Mark 13:35-37

Jesus often taught in parables. And in Mark 13:35-37, Jesus tells of a traveling man who leaves his servants in charge while he’s gone. A story Jesus tells to impart a sacred charge, entrusting His house, authority, and work to us until His glorious return. As stewards of His divine inheritance, we are called to vigilance and diligence, keeping the lamp of faith burning bright. Just as a master entrusts his servants with responsibility, so too has Christ entrusted us with the sacred task of advancing His kingdom. Let us not grow weary or complacent, but instead, let us labor tirelessly in His name, knowing that our efforts bear eternal significance. With each passing moment, let us remain watchful and ready, for the hour of His return is unknown. May we be found faithful and obedient, fulfilling His purposes until the very minute He comes. And when that moment arrives, may we hear the sweet words of our Master saying, “Well done, good and faithful servant,” as we enter into His eternal joy.
