Scripture Reading: Luke 14:1 (NKJV)
“Now it happened, as He went into the house of one of the rulers of the Pharisees to eat bread on the Sabbath, that they watched Him.”

Reflections: Jesus often faced opposition from the Pharisees, who criticized His teachings and actions. Yet, in this passage, He accepted an invitation to dine with a chief Pharisee, fully aware they were watching Him closely. Instead of avoiding the encounter, Jesus saw it as an opportunity to minister. He healed a man with dropsy and used the occasion to teach kingdom principles through parables. Jesus’ example reminds us that ministry isn’t limited to those who support us. He reached out to everyone, even His critics, because their salvation mattered. Likewise, you are called to share the gospel with all—including those who dislike or oppose you. Every encounter can be a moment to extend God’s love and truth.

Prayer: Lord, help me to recognize and use every opportunity to share Your gospel.

Confession: I boldly share the gospel with everyone.
