Read 1 Corinthians 11:23-26.
Paul is coming to the church in Corinth with words that are difficult to hear: ​“In  the following directives I have no praise for you, for your meetings do more harm than good” (vs. 17). Though these words seem harsh, they are however true. In  bringing them back to the Word of Christ and the words that Jesus instituted, which is the Word of truth, Paul said: ​“For what I received from the Lord is also what I passed on to you…” ​ He then went on to speak the Words of Institution -  the words that Jesus spoke on the night in which He was betrayed and instituted  the Lord’s Supper.    

Receiving the body and blood of Jesus is giving the body and blood of Jesus to others. How might you receive Jesus’ body and blood so that you can give Him to others?

    I think we need to ask ourselves each day whether we have lived that day as though Jesus gave His life for us. Did that truth make a difference in our day?

    Are we really *proclaiming* His death? Does everyone who comes into contact with us know that we are Christian? If they were asked if we are, would they be sure?

Read James 1:2-15. One of the greatest challenges I face is seeing the trials that I face as assets. It is through those trials – difficult and distressing as they may be – that my faith becomes stronger. In them I learn to trust in God’s providence and His promises. So today, instead of grumbling or bemoaning, I want to ask:   “God, what can I learn today? How can I grow?”

Read John 15:1-17. The phrase from this passage that stands out the most to me is found in verse 15: “I no longer call you servants … instead I have called you friends.” This speaks to me of a different kind of God – a God who desires a relational connection to each of us. That echoes throughout the passage, of course, with the imagery of branches connected to the vine. But to be considered a friend of Jesus is a far more intimate image for me. As with any friendship, I need to cultivate that friendship, spending time with Him, talking to Him, listening to Him. That’s my goal today.

Read John 4:5-26.  The story of the Samaritan woman reminds me that everything in this life will eventually leave us to thirst again. The things of this life come and go. But in Jesus, our thirst is forever quenched. In Jesus, everything we need is provided. In Jesus, our lives are complete and whole. So why seek anything else? Why drink from the well of this world and be thirsty again? Come to Jesus and never thirst again.
