What does Jesus have to do with your Monday?

  • The work waiting.
  • The bills.
  • The children.
  • The decision.
  • The goal.
  • The problem you still haven’t solved.

Everything.

Read the story below.

I didn’t understand God’s love until my son was born.

I love my son so much.

God gave His only begotten Son for people who did not even love Him.

I cannot imagine giving my son for people who hate me.

But God did.

“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son…”

John 3:16 KJV

Who does that?

If He cared enough to give His Son, why would I think He doesn’t care about the rest of my life?

“He that spared not his own Son… how shall he not with him also freely give us all things?”

Romans 8:32 KJV

The Father gave His Son. The Son gave Himself. I learned I could trust Them.

Jesus is more than emergency religion.

  • Bad day? Pray.
  • Sin? Ask forgiveness.
  • Die? Go to heaven.

But what about Monday?

  • Business
  • Career
  • Children
  • Body & mind
  • Decisions
  • Who you’re becoming

Jesus came to teach us how to live.

“I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.”

John 10:10 KJV

Meet Jesus, the Chief Problem Bridger

Jesus Christ — the only begotten Son of God.

Sometimes He removes the problem.

Sometimes it stays—and He still makes a way.

“I am the way, the truth, and the life…”

John 14:6 KJV

Jesus for Monday.

Jesus is not another tool for improving your life.

He is the Source.

Jesus came to save you.

Those who refuse to be saved will perish.

“Come to me, all of you who are tired and are carrying heavy loads. I will give you rest.”

Matthew 11:28 NIrV

If your heart is heavy, begin here.

Father, I need You.

Thank You for loving me
and giving Your Son for me.

Forgive me.
Save me.
Help me know You.
Lead me.

Give me the peace Jesus promised.

Amen.

You don’t have to understand everything before you come.

Don’t merely survive the world.

Become light within it.
