In everything I did, I showed you that by this kind of hard work we must help the weak, remembering the words the Lord Jesus Himself said: “It is more blessed to give than to receive.” – Acts 20:35
Steps on Your Journey to Know God More Intimately
- This is a compound name. The Greek word for Lord here is kurios, meaning master or sir, showing He is supreme in authority. Jesus is His human name, meaning the Lord saves.
- Meditate on this name. Praise the Lord Jesus.
- Think about what this verse says the Lord Jesus said. How can you apply what He said today?
- What areas of your life clearly show that He is the Lord Jesus?
- How well does your generosity reveal that Jesus is your Lord?
- Are there areas of your life where Jesus isn’t Lord?
A Prayer for You
Lord Jesus, I praise You today for being my Master and the One who saves me. Thank You for all Your teachings. Help me to always honor You as my Lord and to remember that it is more blessed to give than to receive.
