Lent Journal 5 (Friday, March 22, 2019)

Jesus said to them, "Did you never read in the Scriptures: ‘The stone that the builders rejected has become the cornerstone; by the Lord has this been done, and it is wonderful in our eyes?’ Therefore, I say to you, the Kingdom of God will be taken away from you and given to a people that will produce its fruit."
Matthew 21:42-43

Lord, help me to not turn my back on you when others reject your message. Grant me the courage to be your faithful servant, building your Kingdom here on earth.

When presented with an opportunity to spread God’s Kingdom, do you find yourself building it up or tearing it down?
