DAY 32
Marc Turnage
Scripture
For I tell you that unless your righteousness surpasses that of the Pharisees and the teachers of the law, you will certainly not enter the kingdom of heaven. - Matthew 5:20
Marc reminds us of Jesus’ hard teaching in Matthew 5, that unless our righteousness exceeds that of the scribes and Pharisees, we cannot enter the Kingdom of Heaven. Jesus also challenges us to give and serve in secret, so that our reward is in Heaven, not on Earth.
Marc encourages us to choose gratitude in our own circumstances and look for opportunities to come alongside someone and help them out.
Question: Is there any part of you that gives or serves out of guilt, fear, compulsion, or a desire to feel better about yourself? Take your motives to Jesus and ask Him what He wants you to do about that.
Family Chat: Is there something that you are going through that is hard? How can you show Jesus thankfulness in the middle of this hard situation?
Take Action: Find an opportunity today to share tangibly and physically with someone in need.
