Last week, (see 4/10/21 below)
we thought about how various
"TRANSFORMERS LOOKED AT THE HEART &
RESPONDED TO JESUS!"
This week, as we think of them some more...
LOOK AT YOUR OWN HEART.
How will you respond?
Respond with Action & Prayer!
1. Think about Jesus & Peter. Read: John 21:1-17
Peter's Response: He told Jesus he loved him and took care of his "sheep".
Your Response: Will you tell Jesus you love him and care for his "sheep" (others who need to know about Jesus' love for them)?
Peter's Prayer Starter: Lord, help me to respond to Jesus like Peter did, accepting your forgiveness, declaring my love for you, and obeying your call to, "Feed my sheep".
*****
2. Think about Jesus and Friends on the Emmaus Road. Read: Luke 24:13-35
Their Response: Ran and shared the good news of Jesus!
Your Response: Will you share the good news about Jesus?
Emmaus Road Friends' Prayer Starter: Lord, help me to respond to Jesus like our friends did on the Emmaus Road, rushing out to tell others the good news that you are alive!
*****
3. Think about Jesus & Thomas. Read: John 20:24-29
Thomas' Response: He called Jesus, "Lord!"
What about you? Do you want to call Jesus your "Lord"?
Thomas' Prayer Starter: Lord, help me to respond to Jesus like Thomas did, calling you, "My Savior & My God!"
*****
4. Think about Mary meeting Jesus at the tomb. Read: John 20:1-18
Mary's response: She called Jesus, "Teacher!"
What about you? Do you want to call Jesus your "Teacher"?
Mary's Prayer Starter: Lord, help me to respond to Jesus like Mary did, with tears that turn from grief to joy as I hear you call my name, call you "teacher", and understand that you are alive!
