Day 1: The Call to Repentance
Reading: Matthew 11:20-24
Jesus' warning to the unrepentant cities reveals His heart of love, not harshness. Like a parent warning a child of danger ahead, Christ calls us to turn from our own way before destruction comes. Repentance isn't about a harsh God demanding conformity; it's about a loving Father protecting His children from the consequences of rebellion. When we resist repentance, we're not preserving our freedom—we're choosing our own destruction. The greatest grace is that God cares enough to warn us while there's still time. Today, ask yourself: What areas of my life am I resisting God's gentle correction? His warnings are expressions of His love.
