True!
"You men have stayed with me through many struggles. My
Father has given me a kingdom. I also give you authority to
rule with me. You will eat and drink at my table in my
kingdom. You will sit on thrones and judge the twelve tribes
(family groups) of Israel."
-- Luke 22:28-30 (ERV)
KEY THOUGHT:
While most, if not all, of Jesus' disciples will forsake him and run
away during his arrest, trial, and crucifixion, they have been true to
him through his ministry to this point. He lets them know that they
have places of honor in the coming Kingdom. While they may not know all
that will happen in that Kingdom, they do know that they will be in the
presence of the Lord, will eat at his table, will reign on thrones, and
will judge the 12 tribes of Israel. While their earthly struggles are
great and their rewards in this life seem paltry, Jesus assures them
that they will reign with him in glory.
TODAY'S PRAYER:
Father, give me the faith to wait for the dawning of your day of
victory. Help me to not give up when I'm discouraged. Keep me
passionate as I seek to serve you with all of my heart, soul, mind, and
strength. I know that all that I offer to you will be small in the face
of all that awaits me in your presence. In Jesus' name I praise and
thank you. Amen.

VELVET ELVIS: REPAINTING THE CHRISTIAN FAITH, by Rob Bell
In this provocative, hopeful book, Bell asks what the church might look
like if today's believers fully embraced "the way" of love, peace,
sharing possessions, compassion, risk, forgiveness, and harmony.
