JESUS’ GLOWING TRIBUTE TO JOHN
MEMORY VERSE: “Verily I say unto you, Among them that are born of women there hath not risen a greater than John the Baptist: notwithstanding he that is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he” (MATTHEW 11:11).
As observed by Charles F. Stanley, “Disappointments are inescapable, but Christ’s love is always there. When life lets us down, Jesus lifts us up.” Tribute is anything said or presented to show admiration, praise or gratitude. In today’s Bible text, Jesus paid tribute to John. Jesus always appreciates our genuine efforts, no matter how little. He paid tribute to the woman who poured costly oil from an alabaster box on His head (Matthew 26:7-13) as well as the old widow who gave two mites which was all she had.
Although John the Baptist was a fiery servant of God who faithfully discharged his assigned duties in his time, yet he met disappointments and challenges in life. John faced many discouragements; he was imprisoned for preaching and ultimately beheaded. But Jesus Christ would bear witness to the courageous fulfilment of his ministry, and even publicly showcased his greatness in the kingdom of God, over and above other prophets. You too can earn similar commendation. Just pray and do your best.
QUOTE: You too can earn similar commendation.
CHALLENGE: Work out your own salvation with fear and trembling.
PRAYER: Help me, LORD, to end my ministry well and earn your commendation
