Growing Disciples

Read the Bible through:
AM –
1 Chronicles 1-2 : PM – John 3:22-36

Of the Suffering Savior
Luke 9:21-22

22 "The Son of Man must suffer many things, and be rejected by the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and be raised the third day

Laura accepted Christ at an early age. She has always been unusually perceptive and possesses deeper insight than normal for her age. She is well aware that Jesus, on the cross, paid the penalty for her sins. At night when her parents pray with her, she thanks Jesus for dying on the cross. It is a heartfelt prayer of thanks from this little seven-year-old child.

Laura wants her friends to embrace Jesus as their savior, too. This has been evident in her having led three of her classmates at school in praying to accept Jesus as their Savior. Laura does not have an adult understanding of theology, but she does know Jesus personally and truly desires that others also know Him.

Are you growing in your discipleship by telling others about the Savior?

Lord, give me the courage to become more faithful in my witness.
