Thought for the week:
Receiving Christ Through Others
In these closing verses of Matthew 10, Jesus teaches a profound truth: how we treat those who belong to Him reflects how we treat Him.
Jesus says, "Whoever welcomes you welcomes me, and whoever welcomes me welcomes the one who sent me." When we show kindness, hospitality, and support to God's people, we are ultimately honouring Christ Himself. God often works through ordinary people, and our willingness to receive and encourage them becomes an act of worship.
Jesus goes on to speak about welcoming a prophet, a righteous person, or even giving a cup of cold water to one of His disciples. The emphasis is not on the size of the gift but on the heart behind it. In God's kingdom, even the smallest act of love done in Christ's name is noticed and valued by God.
Today, let us ask ourselves: How am I receiving Christ through the people He places in my life? May we be people who welcome, serve, and love others, knowing that in doing so we are serving Jesus Himself.
Amen. C.T.

Gracious Father,
by the obedience of Jesus
you brought salvation to our wayward world:
draw us into harmony with your will,
that we may find all things restored in him,
our Saviour Jesus Christ.
