Day 17: January 22, 2025

Representing God to the World

Devotional:

The way we act as a church sends a message to the world about God’s character. When Jesus cleansed the temple, He was grieved by the misrepresentation of His Father. Similarly, when our actions lack love, humility, or integrity, we hinder others from seeing God clearly. The church should be a place of healing, community, and worship that points people to Christ. Let us commit to living and serving in ways that reflect His love and grace. As ambassadors for Christ, we must ensure that our words and deeds align with His character.

Scripture:

John 13:35 - "By this all will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another."

Matthew 5:16"Let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father in heaven."

Prayer:

Lord, may my life reflect Your goodness and draw others to You. Help me to represent You well in all I do. Amen.

Call to Action:

Identify one way you can be a better reflection of Christ this week—whether through kindness, service, or forgiveness
