| Guaranteed Reward! |
|
| ¡°If anyone gives even a cup of cold water to one of these little ones because he is my disciple, I tell you the truth, he will certainly not lose his reward.¡± ( Matthew 10:42 , NIV ) |
|
¡°$82,000,000 contract¡± that was a newsflash about a professional athlete who decided to continue in his profession. With that kind of news, we see no reward in being the person in charge of the water jug. But on Jesus¡¯ team, everyone is guaranteed a reward, including the person who gives even a cup of cold water to one because he is Jesus¡¯ disciple. Jesus says, ¡°He will certainly not lose his reward.¡±
In today¡¯s reading, Jesus warns His disciples (who had already left friends, family, job everything to follow Him), that following Him does, at times, call for extreme sacrifice. But Jesus also reminds them that He notices and rewards even the smallest of kindnesses done on His behalf.
Love¡¯s strength standeth in love¡¯s sacrifice.
- Harriet E. King |

Father, may we always remember that even the smallest of kindnesses done in Your name will be rewarded by You. In Jesus¡¯ name. Amen. - NEIL DAVIDSON, Lubbock, Texas |
