Daily Walk Through the New Testament

April 15

Read Matthew 10:40-11:24

God sent John the Baptist to the Jews with an important message: “Get ready, for your long-awaited Messiah is here!” Today’s reading tells us that as John the Baptist illuminated the way to Jesus, he was really making a way to the Father. Jesus said, “He who receives Me receives Him who sent Me” (Matthew 10:40). What a promise!
Will you come in contact with those who need to receive Jesus today? Will you invite them to receive Him? When you introduce people to Jesus, you are preparing the way for them to know the Father, just like John the Baptist did. Ask God to help you fulfill your purpose in Him and to be the “way maker” in someone’s life today. And ask God to give those you will share Jesus with ears to hear!
