Family Devotion Day 3: Love God, love people

Read

Matthew 25:31-33 “When the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, he will sit on his glorious throne. All the nations will be gathered before him, and he will separate the people one from another as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats. He will put the sheep on his right and the goats on his left.”

Learn

We do not know when Jesus is coming back. But we know we must bring as many people to Jesus as possible before He comes again.

To do that, we must:

Share the Gospel. All Christians are to present Jesus Christ to all people in the world.
Be Christians who love one another and a Church that cares for those who do not know Jesus.
Think about people who may be lost forever if they do not know Jesus.
Keep loving God and loving people by focusing on the cross, where Jesus died for our sins to give us eternal life.

When you have that passion, people will see it in your heart and they will catch that passion too.

Will you be the generation that steps up and reaches out to those who do not know Jesus?

/ Discuss

Read Matthew 25:35-36. Who do you think are the sheep and who are the goats?
How do you feel when you think of people who may be lost forever if they don’t know Jesus?
How did Jesus show His love for us when He died on the cross?

/ Pray

Pray that God will open our eyes to see the people around us who have not yet heard the Gospel. Ask God to give us the words to share about God’s love and grace.
Ask God for a heart that is eager and excited to tell our friends about Jesus.
Pray that God will help you love the things that He loves.
