Scripture
Matthew 4: 17
From that time Jesus began to preach, saying, “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.”
Reflection
Repentance was foundational to the ministry of Jesus.
Repentance is a heart shift. A direction change. Turning from our way back to God’s way.
Repentance isn’t about shame or guilt – it’s about a willingness to change. It’s not just saying “I’m sorry.” It’s saying, “Lord, change my heart.”
Repentance is the first step to becoming a true follower of Jesus. Because without it, there is no renewal and no room for transformation.
Let's Pray Together
Lord Jesus, You called us to repent, and today I answer that call.
Search my heart. Show me what needs to change. Turn me from my way back to Yours. Remove pride and anything that keeps me away from You.
Please transform my heart. Renew me and make me more like You.
Amen.
