Week 46 November 12 - 18

Day 1 

The Greeks were seeking Jesus. There is more than just seeing Him, we must entrust our spiritual well-being to Him. The hour is near that Jesus will be lifted up. Still after all of the signs and wonders they still did not believe. Their eyes were blind and their hearts were hard.  Some believed but would not confess it so that they would not be thrown out of the synagogue. They wanted glory from men rather than from God.  Signs of Jesus is coming -False prophets, wars, nations against nations, famine, earthquakes, tribulations, backsliding and lawlessness. But the one who endures to the end will be saved, be ready for the rapture. Heaven and earth will pass away but My words will not. Watch yourselves lest your heart be weighted down with the cares of this life. Be ready and stay awake.

Day 2

No one knows the exact day that Jesus will come back for us so be ready be faithful and wise.  Tell others about Jesus and spread God's word, multiply it. When we help those who are in need we are doing it for the Lord and will be blessed. Stay awake and pray that you will have strength to escape and stand ready for Jesus's is coming. 

Judas makes plans to betray Jesus. Jesus shares the Passover meal with His disciples.

Day 3

Jesus washes the disciples feet.   A servant is not greater than his Master. The flock of sheep will be scattered. Jesus tells Peter that he will deny him three times. Jesus tells them that once he is gone the commandment is to love one another. The Lord's supper is shared - the bread represents His body and the wine represents His blood that was poured out for forgiveness of sins. He tells them to do this in remembrance of Me.

Day 4 

Do not let your hearts be troubled, believe in God and Jesus. There is a place prepared for us and He will come and take us so that we will be with Him and He with us. Jesus is the Way, the truth and the life. No one goes to the Father except through Jesus. Jesus is in the Father and the Father in Him. Jesus will send a Helper which is the Holy Spirit and He will be with us, He is the Spirit of Truth. Jesus said peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you. We are to bear fruit. Apart from Jesus we can do nothing. Jesus loves us as much as the Father has loved Him. Jesus laid down His life for us. We are not of this world and it will hate us. The Spirit of Truth will guide us in all truth. In this world we will have tribulation but take heart, I have overcome the world.

Day 5

Jesus is taken and the disciples flee Jesus told the high priest he has done nothing in secret and all he is done they know.  The people were speaking falsely against him and the beating begins. They were mocking him. Peter was following at a distance but denied him three times and the rooster crowed. Peter wept bitterly.

Day 6

Pilate was amazed at Jesus and found no guilt in Him. Jesus was then brought before Herod. Pilates wife even told him to not convict Jesus and that He is a righteous man. Pilate washed his hands of it and said that the blood is not on his hands but on theirs and  the people did not care. The people continue to shout, "Crucify Him". They clothed Him with royal clothes and said "Hail the King of the Jews" striking him on the head, spitting and mocking Him. 

Day 7

Jesus is taken to Golgotha, the place of the skull. The people divided His clothes and they told Jesus to save himself. Jesus said Father forgive them for they not know what they do. One criminal asked Jesus to remember him. He realized that he was being killed for his deeds but Jesus was innocent. Jesus told him, today you will be with Me in Paradise. There was darkness for three hours and Jesus cried out to Father and yielded His body. The curtain in the temple was torn into from top to bottom.  The people watching this take place realized that He was the Son of God.  Jesus is placed in the tomb and they sealed the stone and put guards on duty because they remembered that He said that He would rise in three days. Jesus does indeed rise on the third day. When the women came to the tomb they saw the angel with an appearance like lightning and clothes white as snow. They had great fear and great joy and went quickly to tell the disciples. Jesus has risen He has conquered the grave!

Week 45 November 5 - 11

Day 1

Jesus was eating at the house of a Pharisee. He talked to the people about humility. Jesus should always come first in your life. The officials were mad because Jesus would eat with sinners. But he would leave 100 sheep and go after the one, and when He would find it He would celebrate and rejoice. There is great rejoicing for one sinner who will repent. We cannot serve God and money. 

Day 2

We will be tempted to sin but woe to him from who the temptation comes from. Jesus said I Am the Resurrection and the Life, whoever believes in Me never dies. The Pharisees and Sadducees made plans to kill Jesus. Jesus no longer walked openly among the Jews. Jesus healed the 10 lepers. But only one came back and thanked Him. In the last days people will be going about their lives not expecting, waiting or thinking of Jesus's return and many will be left behind. Always be praying and don't lose heart.

Day 3

The Pharisees would pray aloud so other men would hear them, they would exalt themselves. We are to be humble so that the Lord can exalt us.

The Lord told us that when two are married that the two become one flesh, what God has joined together let not man separate.

Jesus called the little children unto Him. The kingdom of heaven belongs to them. Receive the kingdom of heaven like a child.

Day 4

Jesus foretells of his death and resurrection. Jesus came not to be served but to serve and gave his life as a ransom for many. Jesus continues to go throughout the city's healing people. The good news about Him continues to grow.

Day 5

Jesus tells the disciples to go ahead of Him and get a donkey for Him to ride on in the city. People spread their cloaks and palm branches as He entered the city. The people shouted, "Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord". If the people weren't praising Jesus the very stones would have cried out. Whatever you ask in prayer, you will receive, if you have faith. When you pray forgive those who you have things against so your Father in heaven can forgive you.

Day 6

We must all repent to go to Jesus. 

Day 7

You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul and with all your mind. Love your neighbor as yourself. Hear, O Israel; "The Lord our God, The Lord is One." Jesus speaks to the scribes and Pharisees. He said listen to what they teach but do not act as they do. They are hypocrites. Their outward appearance looks good but inside it is filthy. Beware of them.

Week 44. October 29 - November 4

Day 1

John the Baptist is beheaded.

People continue to follow Jesus so He withdrew in a boat. But the people that were following went on land and got to the town ahead of Him. Jesus came onshore and had compassion on the people. They were far away from any towns to get anything to eat. There were only five loaves of bread and two fish Jesus prayed over them and fed 5000 men plus women and children and there were 12 baskets of leftovers. All ate and were satisfied.  Jesus walked on water to catch up with disciples. Peter saw Him and said if it is you Lord have me walk to You. As long as Peters eyes were fixed on Jesus he stayed afloat.  But when he looked down he starting to sink. This should be a note to us to keep our eyes on Jesus and not at the downers in our lives.   Peter said truly you are the son of God.

Day 2

Crowds continuing to seek Jesus. Jesus tells them don't work for the food that perishes but for the food that endures to eternal life. Believe in Him who He has sent and you will have eternal life. Jesus is the bread of life, you will not hunger or thirst. People honor with their lips but their hearts are far from Him. The Pharisees and the Jews were seeking to kill Him.

Day 3

Jesus was healing many, the deaf were hearing and the mute were speaking. He told the people not to tell others but they told everyone that they could. Jesus fed the 4000 people with seven loaves of bread and a two small fish and  again was leftovers. Beware of the teachings of the Pharisees and Sadducees. The disciples believed that Jesus was the Christ the Son of the Living God. If anyone should come after Christ then he must deny himself and take up his cross and follow Him.

Day 4

The Transfiguration. God said this is my Beloved Son, with Whom I Am well pleased; listen to Him. If you had the faith of a mustard seed you could move a mountain and nothing wouldn't be impossible for you. All things are possible for him who believes. Jesus tells the disciples that He will be delivered into the hands of men and will be killed but will rise on the third day. You must be converted and be like a child to enter the kingdom of heaven. Those who cause children to stumble would be better for them to have a millstone around their neck and drowned. Woe to the man who puts up stumbling blocks. The Lord would leave 99 to find one lost sheep. Be at peace with one another

Day 5

If your brother sins go and tell him one-on-one. If he doesn't listen bring others with you, still if he still doesn't listen then go before the church. Where two or three are gathered in My name I am among you. Forgive your brother 70×7 times and forgive fully from your heart. The cost to follow Christ meant that you left everything, no turning back, to follow him.

Day 6

Jesus said I am the light of the world I am not of this world. When you lift up the Son of Man you will know that I am He. I do nothing of my own authority but speak as the Father has taught Me. The Father is with Me and I always do the things that are pleasing to Him. Abide in My word, know the truth and it will set you free. If you practice in sin then you are a slave to it. Jesus is our Good Shepherd.

Day 7

Jesus sent out 72 men. He sent them out as lambs before the wolves. He told them to pray, heal the sick, and tell  that the kingdom of God has come near to them. Woe to the unrepentant cities. Blessed are those who have eyes that see. You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your strength and mind and love your neighbor as yourself. Ask and it will be given, seek and you will find, knock and it will be opened unto you. Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord.
