Day 7: Come Back to the Table

Jesus is speaking to religious people who are upset that sinners are coming near Him. He leaves the story open because He is asking them: 'Will you stay outside in your anger, or will you come in and celebrate grace?' How do you bring Jesus into your family drama? He's already there — He's asking you to give grace like He already has. You may not be able to fix your entire family. You cannot force someone to apologize, repent, change, or reconcile. But walking with faith means you do not enter family drama alone. Jesus is with you in the hard conversation, the needed boundary, the grief, and the next faithful step. As you prepare for tomorrow, pick one family relationship and ask: Jesus, walk with me into this relationship. Show me what is mine to own. Show me how to respond instead of react. Show me the next faithful step.
