Day 1- JESUS HEALS THE SICK

Read Matthew 9:35-36 and Matthew 4:23-25
What did Jesus do for people who needed Him?
How did He feel towards the people who needed Him?
Read 1 Peter 5:7
What should you cast on Jesus and why?
Do you trust Jesus to take care of what you need?
Do you believe He cares?
Are you compassionate towards others’ needs?

GIVE IT A TRY!

We are supposed to be the hands and feet of Jesus while on earth. We are called to be His light to others. He was compassionate towards people in need.
This week, think of how you can be compassionate towards others’ needs.

Day 2- JESUS STARTS TEACHING

Jesus spent a lot of time teaching His disciples about His Kingdom.
Read Matthew 7:13-14
What is the gate like to enter into His Kingdom? What is the gate to destruction like?
Which gate seems easier? Which gate do the majority go through?
Read John 14:6
How does Jesus describe Himself? If He is the only way, is this why He describes the gate as narrow?
There are many ways to believe a lie. There are many religions that are not true. There are many beliefs that are false. The gate to destruction is very broad. It might be easy to follow or it might feel easy at first but the consequence of going through it is destruction. Jesus wants you to enter through the gate He has made. He is the only truth and the only way.

Day 3- NICODEMUS

Read John 3:1-3
What does Jesus tell Nicodemus a person must do to enter the Kingdom of heaven?
Read Galatians 2:20
How does this verse explain what it means to be born again? Who lives within you when you believe in Jesus? What must you do for Him to live within you?
To believe in Jesus, you must die to your own way and your own self. When you do, Christ will make you alive by living inside you. This is what it means to be born again.
Have you decided to be born again? Have you given up your life for Christ?

Day 4- THE WOMAN AT THE WELL

Read John 4:1-42
Did Jesus know the sins of the woman at the well?
Did her sins keep Jesus from offering her living water?
Do you think the woman was ashamed of her sin?
Did she know about the coming Messiah?
Did she believe when Jesus told her who He was?
What did she run off to do? Did others believe?
There is no sin that is too big to keep you from drinking the “living water.” Jesus will forgive any sin. You must believe in who He is and give your life to Him. When you do, you will be free from the sinful life you have been living. God has the ability to change lives and will use those lives to change others!
What have you learned from this story? How can you apply it to your life?

Day 5- SHINE BRIGHT

Read Matthew 5:14-16
What does Jesus teach that those who follow Him are to the world?
Think about how you can be a light for Jesus wherever you are today. Write down some specific ways you want to be a light for Him… big or small.
