Friday
Read Luke 6:20-31
20 Jesus looked at his disciples and
said,
“Happy are you poor;
the Kingdom of God is yours!
21Happy are you who are hungry now;
you will be filled!
Happy are you who weep now;
you will laugh!
22 “Happy are you when people hate
you, reject you, insult you, and say that you are evil, all because of the Son
of Man! 23Be glad when that happens, and dance for joy, because a
great reward is kept for you in heaven. For their ancestors did the very same
things to the prophets.
24“But how terrible for you who are rich now;
you have had your easy life!
25How terrible for you who are full now;
you will go hungry!
How terrible for you who laugh now;
you will mourn and weep!
26 “How terrible when all people
speak well of you; their ancestors said the very same things about the false
prophets.
(Matt 5:38–48; Matt 7:12a)
27 “But I tell you who hear me: love
your enemies, do good to those who hate you, 28bless those who curse
you, and pray for those who ill-treat you. 29If anyone hits you on
one cheek, let him hit the other one too; if someone takes your coat, let him
have your shirt as well. 30Give to everyone who asks you for
something, and when someone takes what is yours, do not ask for it back. 31Do
for others just what you want them to do for you.
Think
"...dance for joy, because a great rewards is kept for you in
heaven."
- Luke 6:23
When last did you dance for joy?
