๐ Isaiah 53:5
5 But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities;
the punishment that brought us peace was on him, and by his wounds we are healed.

In this simple but weighty question, Jesus reminds His disciples that their calling wasnโt accidentalโit was intentional. โDid I not choose you?โ is a powerful reminder that our relationship with Christ begins not with our pursuit of Him, but with His pursuit of us. Itโs a humbling truth: the God of the universe looked at us, in all our weakness and brokenness, and still said, โI choose you.โ Even when one among the twelve would betray Him, Jesus knewโand still chose. Let this truth settle into your heart today: you are not overlooked or unwanted. You are chosen, known, and deeply loved by the Savior.
๐ John 6:27
โDo not work for the food that perishes, but for the food that endures to eternal life, which the Son of Man will give to you. For on him God the Father has set his seal.โ
๐ Isaiah 41:10
Donโt be afraid, for I am with you.
Donโt be discouraged, for I am your God.
I will strengthen you and help you.
I will hold you up with my victorious right hand.
