Matthew 5:43-48; Romans 5:10; Ephesians 4:32 — As humans, our natural response is to show love to those we like, and hate to those we don’t. But Jesus’ striking instruction and the testament of His life and death is precisely the opposite: “Love your enemies”. We, who were His enemies but now stand reconciled through His sacrificial love, are called to do the same.

Luke 1:46-56 — Mary was an ordinary young woman who found herself in extraordinarily unexpected circumstances: virgin-mother of the promised Messiah. And yet, in spite of all the unknowns and implications, Mary responded with a deep, humble dependence on God. As we face the unexpected happenings of life, may we too humbly depend on Him; magnifying and anchoring into the enduring character of the One who is our faithful present and future hope.

Matthew 5:1-9; Ephesians 6:10-18; Luke 2:14; Colossians 1:20; John 14:27; Mark 4:35-41 — At times it is easy to feel too small to make a difference in our world. But as we see conflict around us, we are reminded that Jesus’ peace was not defined by the absence of turmoil; it was the powerful assurance He declared into the very midst of the storm. As we anchor into and receive Jesus’ gift of peace, may we go forth as bringers and makers of it in the world around us.
