God’s Love for Humanity
  • Zechariah 8:20-23
  • Psalm 87:1-7
  • Luke 9:51-56

When God comes to us in mercy, we must respond with joy and faithfulness. Zechariah speaks of nations seeking God, drawn by his presence among his people. This foreshadows Jesus’ journey in the Gospel reading, where he sets his face toward Jerusalem, knowing he will face opposition and suffering. The Samaritans reject him, yet he does not retaliate but remains steadfast in his mission of redemption. Like Jesus, we too must walk difficult paths with trust in God. Though we may face rejection or hardship, his plan is greater. Zechariah reminds us that what seems like loss can become a blessing, as God draws people to himself through his people’s faithfulness. Jesus’ journey was not just one of suffering but of ultimate victory. Just as the nations longed to cling to God’s people, may our own perseverance in faith draw others to Christ. The road may be hard, but it leads to redemption, where God turns curses into blessings and sorrow into joy.

PRAYER: Abba Father, prepare us to be your sanctuary, pure and holy, tried and true. Amen.
