'To All Nations' — Matthew 1:1-6

This is a record of the ancestors of Jesus the Messiah, a descendant of David and of Abraham:
Abraham was the father of Isaac.
Isaac was the father of Jacob.
Jacob was the father of Judah and his brothers.
Judah was the father of Perez and Zerah (whose mother was Tamar).
Perez was the father of Hezron.
Hezron was the father of Ram.
Ram was the father of Amminadab.
Amminadab was the father of Nahshon.
Nahshon was the father of Salmon.
Salmon was the father of Boaz (whose mother was Rahab).
Boaz was the father of Obed (whose mother was Ruth).
Obed was the father of Jesse.
Jesse was the father of King David.— Matthew 1:1-6 NLT

Key Thought

Matthew's gospel, while in many ways the most Jewish of the gospels, emphasizes God's love and grace for all people. At the beginning of Jesus' life on earth, he is welcomed by foreigners, Magi, who come from many miles away to worship him. At the end of Jesus' life on earth, he challenges his disciples to go tell every nation about him and his Good News, baptizing them and welcoming them into God's family. Even in the genealogy of Jesus, Matthew prepares us for the fact that, by God's grace, all people can be included in God's family. In the lineage of great King David, and of the Messiah Jesus, is a Gentile woman. Her name is Ruth, and her story is a marvelous story of God's grace and the faithful heart that finds its home in the God of Israel.

Today's Prayer

Father God, Lord of all peoples, please use my study of the Gospel of Matthew this year to awaken my heart to the needs of everyone to know about Jesus. Please give me more understanding and make me less judgmental of other cultures and races. Help me see your image in each person I encounter and see each one's need to know you as Abba Father. In the name of the Lord Jesus, I ask this. Amen.

*Prayer :*

I ask for Your healing today over Your people who are sick, whether at home or in hospitals overcome the physical weaknesses. But even more I pray for the healings to overcome our spiritual weaknesses.

Give us patience in the way Paul had patience with his health conditions - make us more aware of Your grace and its sufficiency for us.

I am sure of Your promise of one day receiving a new body and to enjoy the glorification awaiting those who believe. 

Thank You for Your promise and comfort.
In Jesus' name, I pray.

*_Blessed Sunday_*

Be intentional about attending physical fellowship; it is essential for your growth as a believer. Virtual attendance should only be a last resort due to unavoidable circumstances. Do not replace physical fellowship with virtual attendance because it serves your convenience.

Is Consistent; Seek Him

Text:

Have you not known? Have you not heard? The Lord is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. He does not faint or grow weary; his understanding is unsearchable…Isaiah 40:28

There is no need to be upset (or even surprised) when the people in our lives let us down. The best of men are still limited. Although friendships are beautiful, and God calls us to live in community (Romans 12:4-5), and it is important to live amongst others and create relationships, but we must recognize that no one will satisfy us the way Christ will. No spouse, friend or job will fulfill our desire for an unconditional love and acceptance. When the world fails us, and when we fail the people we love, we can have hope in an eternal, perfect life with our Saviour. Men do fail, but Jesus will never fail. Even when we are frustrated with ourselves and our own inconsistency, Jesus is forgiving and offers us an unending amount of grace.

What would it look like if we channelled the trust, dependency and reliance we place on people towards our relationship with Jesus? What will be the result if we hold unto our Stable Jesus than holding unto unstable men? Our lives would drastically change! We can begin to focus and invest in the eternal, not the temporary, and allow Jesus to be our rock! Do not let one more heartbreak, burnt bridge or disappointment distract you from Jesus, who truly holds our heart. We will no longer exchange our love and devotion for our perfect Creator with the sinful, broken people around us. Jesus is the only constant, consistent person in our lives – seek Him and find Him!

Prayer:
Father, I repent from giving Your place to inconsistent men. Help me to seek You consistently in Jesus’ Name.

'No Hidden Skeletons' — Matthew 1:6-10

David was the father of Solomon (whose mother was Bathsheba, the widow of Uriah).
Solomon was the father of Rehoboam.
Rehoboam was the father of Abijah.
Abijah was the father of Asa.
Asa was the father of Jehoshaphat.
Jehoshaphat was the father of Jehoram.
Jehoram was the father of Uzziah.
Uzziah was the father of Jotham.
Jotham was the father of Ahaz.
Ahaz was the father of Hezekiah.
Hezekiah was the father of Manasseh.
Manasseh was the father of Amon.
Amon was the father of Josiah— Matthew 1:6-10 NLT

Key Thought

Nearly every family has a few skeletons in its closets, and you can find them if you open up enough closets! (For those not familiar with the idiom "skeletons in the closet," it is another way of saying that someone has some bad family secrets and tries to keep them hidden. One of the most significant "skeletons" is Bathsheba, the wife of Uriah and the one for whom David lusted, then had Uriah placed in danger so that he died in battle, and finally married her.) As a propaganda piece, the Bible is not very good because it doesn't even try to hide the skeletons — not even in Jesus' family tree. Instead, the Scriptures are brutally honest about the failures of even our greatest Bible heroes. You look through today's verses and you'll find some serious skeletons. It's as if God is saying to us, "If I can bring triumph through them and their failures, just imagine what I can do through you!" I don't know about you, but that surely is encouraging to me. I call this the principle of "Hallelujah anyway!" God's power and grace triumph over our failures.

Today's Prayer

Almighty God, I am thankful that your strength is made perfect in weakness. I don't want to stumble or fall in my service to you, but it is very encouraging to know that you have raised so many others up from failure and made them useful and holy to you. Please forgive my sins and empower me to overcome my weaknesses and sin. Thank you for giving me reasons not to give up when I do falter. In the name of Jesus, my atoning sacrifice and hero, I pray. Amen.
