Day 33: If You Only Love Those Who Love You, What Reward Do You Have?

March 31, 2025

Matthew 5:46-48

"For if you love those who love you, what reward have you? Do not even the tax collectors do the same? Therefore you shall be perfect, just as your Father in heaven is perfect."

Devotional
Welcome to The Turnaround!

 

Introduction

The Scripture for today speaks of a”Love” not common to man. It is the “Love” of The Father—that is what verse forty-eight is describing.

Insight

A “Love” so “Radical” and “Perfect” that the Creator of The Universe sent His Son to be a substitutionary sacrifice for us that we might become Sons and Daughters in His Eternal Kingdom where “Love” is the theme!

This passage, from the most famous sermon ever preached, “The Sermon on The Mount”, is the model for how we are to “Love” others—Not with the common love of man, but with the Uncommon, Radical, Perfect “Love” that our beloved “Heavenly Father” bestows upon us.

“Loving” others in this manner is how we become “Perfect as your Father in Heaven is perfect”!!!

Turnaround Questions

“How Radical and Perfect can your “Love” be for
“THE CHILDREN?”
“Our Children?”
God’s Children?”

What sacrifices and commitments are you willing to make to fulfill the Great Commission by carrying the Gospel to “The Children?”

And make sure that you start with YOUR Children!
Shower them with the Love of Christ!

Prayer

FATHER God, You ARE our Father!
As Your Loving Children, we pray that we will be obedient and faithful to share Your great message of “Love” with “The Children”. Please empower us by Your Spirit to carry the message of The Gospel—The greatest message of Love—to The Children that they may be drawn to invite Christ into their lives and experience Your Amazing Grace, Tender Mercy, and Perfect Love. In the Holy and Precious Name of our Blessed Savior, Jesus Christ, we pray. Amen
