Can jealousy ever be a good thing? Over a thousand years before Jesus, God told Israel that they would one day become jealous of the Gentiles for the spiritual blessings that they would be enjoying. Even today, Jesus can showcase blessings through his followers so that others will be provoked to desire what God is offering not just to a select few, but graciously to all!

For Reflection:
Sometimes, we discover what we truly desire only when we see it being enjoyed by others.
- Have you ever been jealous of a good thing you saw someone else enjoying? In particular, did that desire ever cause you to make a choice or a change to gain that same experience for yourself? Recall and describe that process.
- Is there someone in your life who you wish would draw closer to Christ? How might you prayerfully invite them to witness and experience the good things shared by those who follow Jesus?
