March 30Blessed Bread
Jesus took some bread and blessed it.
Matthew 26:26 nlt
When our oldest child became a teenager, my wife and I gave her a journal that wed been writing in since her birth. Wed recorded her likes and dislikes, quirks and memorable one-liners. At some point the entries became more like letters, describing what we see in her and how we see God at work in her. When we gave it to her on her thirteenth birthday, she was mesmerized. Shed been given the gift of knowing a crucial part of the origins of her identity.
In blessing something as common as bread, Jesus was revealing its identity. What italong with all creationwas made to reflect: Gods glory. I believe Jesus was also pointing to the future of the material world. All creation will one day be filled with the glory of God. So in blessing bread (Matthew 26:26), Jesus was pointing to the origin and the destiny of creation (Romans 8:2122).
Maybe the beginning of your story feels messed up. Maybe you dont think theres much of a future. But theres a bigger story. Its a story of a God who made you on purpose and for a purpose, who took pleasure in you. Its a story of God who came to rescue you (Matthew 26:28); a God who put His Spirit in you to renew you and recover your identity. Its a story of a God who wants to bless you.

Reflect & Pray
How does seeing your true origin story as being made on purpose and for a purpose change the way you see yourself? Whats the bigger story than simply your situation right now?
Dear Jesus, I place my life like bread in Your hands. Only You can return me to my origin. Only You can carry me to my destiny. Jesus, You are the author and the finisher of my faith.

March 31Inheritance Isnt Earned
He predestined us for adoption to sonship through Jesus Christ, in accordance with his pleasure and will.
Ephesians 1:5Thanks for dinner, Dad, I said as I set my napkin on the restaurant table. I was home on a break from college and, after being gone for a while, it felt strange to have my parents pay for me. Youre welcome, Julie, my dad replied, but you dont have to thank me for everything all the time. I know youve been off on your own, but youre still my daughter and a part of the family. I smiled. Thanks, Dad.
In my family, I havent done anything to earn my parents love or what they do for me. But my dads comment reminds me that I havent done anything to deserve to be a part of Gods family either.
In the book of Ephesians, Paul tells his readers that God chose them to be holy and blameless in his sight (1:4), or to stand without blemish before Him (5:2527). But this is only possible through Jesus, in whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, in accordance with the riches of Gods grace (1:7). We dont have to earn Gods grace, forgiveness, or entrance into His family. We simply accept His free gift.
When we turn our lives over to Jesus, we become children of God, which means we receive eternal life and have an inheritance waiting for us in heaven. Praise God for offering such a wonderful gift!
By: Julie Schwab
Reflect & Pray
In what ways do you feel or act as if you have to earn Gods love? How can you practice living in the freedom of His love?
Faithful God, thank You for freely giving Your Son so I can be a part of Your family. Help me to honor You in all Youve done for me.
