Words That Changed Everything
Matthew 4:12-17
Jesus' first public words launched His earthly ministry: "Repent, because the kingdom of heaven has come near." These weren't casual suggestions but a divine call to action. Words shape our reality—they build up or tear down, inspire hope or destroy dreams. Jesus chose His first words carefully because He knew their power to transform lives. Today, consider both the words you speak and the words you receive. Are you listening to the culture's message that "if it feels good, it's okay," or are you heeding Christ's call to genuine transformation? The kingdom isn't just coming someday—it has come near to you right now. How will you respond to His invitation?
