S3E048-Matthew 17-19: Loving Enough To Confront
Loving Enough to Confront
Today’s reading covers Matthew 17–19, where we see Jesus revealed in glory, teaching His disciples about
faith, humility, forgiveness, and the radical call of the kingdom. This trio of chapters is packed with
moments of clarity, challenge, and compassion as Jesus shapes those who follow Him.
In Matthew 17, the Transfiguration gives Peter, James, and John a glimpse of Christ’s majesty—a memory that
would anchor them in the difficult days ahead. In Matthew 18, Jesus teaches on relational reconciliation,
revealing that confronting sin is an act of love designed to restore—not condemn. And in Matthew 19, the
conversations about marriage, children, and wealth remind us that the kingdom belongs to those who approach
God in humility and surrender.
Thank you for joining me today as we walk through the Gospel together and listen anew to the words of the
One who leads, restores, and teaches us how to love well.

Today we reflect on events highlighting the legacy of Nicholas of Myra, the spiritual wrestling of
Blaise Pascal, and the early beginnings of James Dobson’s Family Talk. These stories remind us of the
way God works through compassion, intellect, and faithful proclamation.
