Day 12
Have you ever found yourself wary or uncomfortable of claiming you are a Christian?

Two thousand years ago, claiming faith in Jesus carried weightier significance. That’s why Jesus told the rulers around him who refused to publicly claim Him as Israel’s Savior, “For they loved praise from men more than praise from God” (12:43, NET).
As you read this text and reflect upon its meaning by journaling, quiet your mind and allow God to shed light within your heart.
