Daily Bread

I remember a little girl in one of our churches, her family was very involved in the life of the church.

Over the forty years of my active ministry, I had several people “answer the call to preach.”

The gospels don’t elaborate on it, but scholars have uncovered the history of conflict between the Samaritans and the Jews.

“He said what? Who’s He talking about?”

Jesus’ response in this passage has always seemed a little off kilter to me.

Have you ever said something stupid?

I would like to begin with a little history and context for this scripture.

I used to love watching Undercover Boss. Every episode was like a test—who was in it for the paycheck, and who genuinely believed in the company’s mission?

Before diving into this devotional, take a moment to read 2 Samuel 12—the moment when the prophet Nathan confronted David about his sin.

When reading this scripture, I pondered what lesson is Jesus teaching and to whom.
