Week 51

Day 1

Jesus is our great high priest who knows what we go through. God appointed Him and lifted Him to this position. Grow up and mature in the things of God. Be imitators of those, through faith and patience inherit the promises of God. It is impossible for God to lie, we can trust in His promises. Jesus is a guarantor of a better covenant.

Day 2

God puts the law in the minds of His people and will write it onto their hearts. He will be our God and we shall be His people. He will be merciful towards our iniquities and will remember our sins no more. When Christ came He allowed us to come to Him freely. He paid the price for our sin. His sacrifice was once for all. Let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith for we are cleansed now. Hold fast to our confession of our hope without wavering for He who has promised is faithful. Stir up others to good works, encouraging and meeting together. Do not go on sinning in living like you used to. Jesus is our confidence. Faith is the assurance of things hoped for, and not seen. Without faith it is impossible to be pleasing to Him. Set aside sin as run the race before us, looking to Jesus the founder and perfector of our faith. The Lord disciplines those He loves like a good Father. Discipline will benefit us and will help us to be better. 
Marriage should be held in honor.  Keep your life free from the love of money and be content with what you have. The Lord is my helper; I will not fear; what can man do to me? Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today and forever. Continually offer at the sacrifice of praise to Him.

Day 3

Our aim is to love with a pure heart, good conscience and a sincere faith. Jesus gives us strength, He came into the world to save sinners and He has perfect patiences. For God desires for all people to be saved and come to the knowledge of truth. There is one God and one Mediator between God and man which is Christ Jesus. Notes to women – they shall have respectable apparel, modestness, self-control and not flashy. We should learn to live quietly with also submissiveness. Also not having authority over man in teaching. God has a perfect order. 
An overseers qualifications – above reproach, husband of one wife, sober minded, self-controlled, respectable, hospitable, able to teach, not a drunkard, gentle, not quarrelsome, not a lover of money. He must manage his house well and not a recent convert and well liked by outsiders. Paul wrote these things to Timothy so that the people would know how to behave in the household of God. Train yourself for godliness. We have our hope set on the living God. Be Christlike and practice the things of Christ. Don't rebuke but encourage. Take care of those in your family and pay your preachers. Watch out for those who do not teach the truth because some desire money and esteem. Pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, steadfastness, gentleness and be free from reproach.

Day 4

Qualifications for elders – is the same as overseers but added some more things. Children must be believers, not arrogant or quick-tempered, not drunkard, violent, greedy for gain, must be hospitable,  lovers of good, upright, holy, and disciplined. We need to be good examples to others. The grace of God appeared bringing salvation to all people. We are being trained to renounce ungodliness and worldly passions, live a self-controlled, upright and godly life.

Day 5

Jesus has caused us to be born again and we now have an inheritance in heaven that is guarded. Rejoice even though we may have trials because we can look to what is to come. Do not be conformed to former passions, be holy in all conduct. We were ransom by the precious blood of Jesus. Love others earnestly with a pure heart. The word of the Lord remains forever. Put away malice, deceit, hypocrisy, envy and slander. For I am chosen and precious. Abstain from all fleshly passions and submit to authority. Wives be subject to husbands and let your adorning not be external but from the inside out. The beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit is precious to God. Husbands live with wives and honor them as the weaker vessel understanding them. Always be ready to make a defense to anyone who asks for a reason for the hope that is in you. Do this with gentleness and respect. We may suffer but better to suffer from doing good. We are an example of Christ and he suffered in the flesh. Arm yourself with the same way of thinking. Above all keep loving each other earnestly because the sincere love covers a multitude of sins. Entrust your soul to our faithful Creator while doing good. Clothe  yourself with humility and Christ will exalt you. Cast all your anxieties on Him because He cares for you. Resist the devil and stay firm in your faith.

Day 6

His divine power has granted to us all things that pertain to life and godliness. He has granted to us His precious and very great promises. Through these promises we have become partakers of the divine nature. If you want to be effective and fruitful - supplement your faith with virtue, knowledge, self-control, steadfastness, godliness, brotherly affection and love. Practice these things and you will not fall. False teachers will come in, looking to destroy. The ungodly will be condemned to extinction. For whatever overcomes the person, to that he is enslaved. The Lord isn't slow, but is patient towards us. He wishes that none should perish but reach repentance. Be diligent to be found by Him without spot or blemish and at peace. Content for the faith. The ungodly people will pervert the grace of God and denied Jesus. Build yourself up in the most holy faith and praying in the Holy Spirit, keep yourselves in the love of God, waiting for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ that leads to eternal life.

Day 7

Fan into flame the gift of God given to us. God gave a spirit not of fear but of power and love and self-control. Do not be ashamed of the testimony about our Lord Jesus for He abolished death and brought life. By the Holy Spirit who dwells within us, guard the good deposit entrusted to you. Be strengthened by the grace that is in Christ Jesus. Do your best present yourself to God as one approved, a worker who has no need to be ashamed, rightly handling the word of truth. Flee youthful youthful passions and pursue righteousness, faith, love, and peace, along with those who call on the name of the Lord from a pure heart. In the last days there will be much ungodliness – lovers of self and money, pride, arrogance, abuse, disobedient to parents, ungratefulness, unholiness, heartless, unappeasable, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not living good, treacherous, reckless, swollen with conceit, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, appearance of godliness - but denying its power. Avoid such people. You can see that we must be close to the end days as many of these above ways listed are the ways of men today. All Scripture is God breathed and profitable for teaching, reproof, correction and training in righteousness. Preach the word of God and be ready always. Fight the good fight and finish the race, keep the faith.

Week 50 December 10-16

Day 1

Whenever Paul taught he did not hold back the things of Jesus. He didn't count his life is value but he just wanted to finish his course of ministry. Beware of those who will twist things and bring confusion. You're more blessed to give than to receive. Paul gave the Gospel freely without hindrance. Paul always wanted to do the will of the Lord. Paul spoke to the people in Jerusalem and told them his testimony. People got mad and shouted at him and we're about to flog him. Paul said that he always lived his life for God with a good conscience. We should also always be ready to give our testimony.  It may make people mad but like Paul we shouldn't count our life as value but what we do for Jesus is most valuable. 

Day 2

The Jews began fasting until Paul was killed. They set up an ambush to kill him. Paul said believe and hope in God that is what I do. Paul stays in prison under Felix for two years then Paul goes and appeals to Caesar. There was no proof of what the men had accused him of.

Day 3

Paul made his defense to King Agrippa. He was on trial because of his hope in Jesus. Again he gave them his testimony. The king had said that Paul did not deserve death. Paul is off to set sail to be seen by Cesar. The ship is struggling in bad weather Paul told them not to sail but none listened. The ship is finally wrecked and people thought that Paul was a god because he healed many on the island. He just continued to tell them about Jesus and how they needed salvation through Christ. 

Day 4

Paul begins to write letters to Philemon and the Colossians. Paul prays for them and asks the Lord to strengthen them with all power, according to His glorious might, for all endurance and patience with joy. By Jesus all things are created and by Him all things are held together. Dont listen to falseness,we once were dead but now we are alive in Him . Set your minds on the things that are above with Christ.  Put aside earthly things, you once walked in them, but no more. Put on compassionate hearts, kindness, humility, meekness, patience bearing with one another and forgiving. Put on love which binds everything together in perfect harmony.. Submit to your husbands and husbands love your wives. Children obey your parents for God has perfect order. Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord and not for men.

Day 5

We are blessed with every spiritual blessing in heavenly places; we are adopted by Him as sons. He lavishes his grace on us and we are sealed with the Holy Spirit. We were dead in our sins, but God rich in mercy, loving us so much saved us by His grace. We were separated from Christ but now we are near Him and He is our peace. Paul prayed for the Ephesians to know the amazing love of Christ that surpasses knowledge, so that they would be filled with all the fullness of God. He can do more abundantly then all we can ask or think. Walk in a manner worthy to which you have been called. Do this with all humility, gentleness, patience, bearing with one another in love and eager to maintain the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace. Don't walk like you used to. Put off your old self. Be renewed in the spirit of your mind. Be angry and do not sin; don’t let the sun go down on your anger and give no opportunity to the devil. Be imitators of God and walk in love. Have nothing to do with the unfruitful works of darkness but rather expose them. Be strong in the Lord and the strength of His might. Put on the whole armor so you can stand firm against the schemes of the devil.

Day 6

He who began a good working you will bring it to completion on the day of Jesus Christ. May your love abound more and more. Paul was imprisoned but he said it was for God's glory. He rejoiced in all circumstances. Count others more significant than yourselves. Christ did this for us. Jesus’ name is above every other name. Every tongue will confess and every knee will bow that Jesus Christ is Lord. Do all things without grumbling or disputing that you may be blameless and innocent in this twisted generation. Press on towards Christ and don't look behind but look to the goal in Christ. Look to those who walk up rightly and follow their example. Do not be anxious about anything but in everything by prayer and supplication let your request be known to God. The peace of God which surpasses all understanding will guard our hearts and our minds. Dwell on truth, honor, what is right, what is pure, what is lovely, and of good repute. Also dwell on anything that is excellent or anything worthy of praise. God will supply all your needs according to the riches in glory in Christ Jesus.

Day 7

God speaks to us through Christ and He is the radiance of the glory of God He is supreme. Jesus tasted death for all of us. He is a merciful and faithful High Priest. Be careful that we do not fall away from the things of God. We can enter into the rest of our Jesus. For the word of God is living and active, sharper than any two edged sword, piercing to the division of soul and spirit, of  joints and of marrow, and discerning the thoughts and intentions of the heart.

Week 49 December 3-9

Day 1

We have an eternal heavenly dwelling and we have the spirit as a guarantee. We walk by faith not by sight. Make it your aim to please God. If anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation, the old has passed away and the new has come. For our sake God made Him to be sin who knew no sin, so that in Him we might become the righteousness of God.

Godly grief produces a repentance that leads to salvation without regret, whereas worldly grief produces death. Give generously. Sow sparingly and you will reap sparingly, and whoever sows bountifully will also reap bountifully. Give as you have decided in your heart, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver. God makes grace abound to you, and having sufficiency in all things at all times, you may abound in every good work. God will always supply your needs. Overflow with thanksgiving to God.

Day 2

Take every thought captive to obey Christ. Paul defends his ministry. He doesn't just write how to live but he lives his life as an example. He warns them about the false apostles and speaks of his hard sufferings to show his weakness. Paul had a thorn in the flesh that kept him humble and God tells us that his grace is sufficient for us, for his power is made perfect in weakness. For when I am weak, then I am strong in Christ.

Paul was concerned that the church was not behaving properly. He told them to repent and turn from sin. Examine and test yourselves. He prayed for their restoration. He told them to comfort one another, agree with one another, live in peace and the God of love and peace will be with you.

Day 3

Paul continues to travel to Greece and back to Macedonia. Paul speaks about his testimony and what he went through and how he began to know Jesus. The people there were being confused by the Judaizers and felt like they needed to be back under the law. We aren't justified by works of the law but by faith in Christ. The people there were being confused by the Judaizers and felt like they needed to be back under the law. If we want to live by the law we must abide by the entire law which is impossible for us. The law was given to show our sin. It showed us how much we need a savior. To go back under the law says that what Christ did on the cross wasn't needed or wasn't sufficient. Christ set us free so stand firm and don't submit again to slavery. Walk by the Spirit not by the flesh. The fruits of the Spirit our love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control. Don't grow weary in doing good.

Day 4

Paul longed to see and encourage and be encouraged by the Romans. He wasn't ashamed of the Gospel. The wrath of God is against all ungodliness and unrighteousness. God gave them who were ungodly and unrighteous in the lust of their hearts to impurity. They exchanged the truth about God for a lie. God gave them to dishonorable  passions – homosexuality. They did not see fit to acknowledge God. God's kindness is meant to lead us to repentance for God is always faithful. Through the love comes knowledge of sin and through faith we can believe and be righteous. We have all sinned and fall short of the glory of God. We are justified by faith. We are blessed because we are forgiven and our sins are covered. The Lord does not count our sins against us.

Day 5

We had access by faith into Grace and we rejoice in the hope of the glory of God. Christ died for us while we were still sinners. Be dead to sin and alive to God. Our old self is crucified and we can set free from sin. Sin has no dominion over us. The wages of sin is death but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. There is no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus, he has set us free. We live according to the spirit. Set your mind on the things of the Spirit.

Day 6

The sufferings of this present time are not worth comparing  with the glory that is to be revealed to us. All things work together for those who are called according to his purpose. God is for us who can be against us? Nothing can separate us from the love of Christ! If you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead you will be saved.  How beautiful are the feet of him who brings good news. We are grafted into the family of Christ. God is a just God who has kindness and sovereignty. From Him and through Him and to Him are all things, to Him be the glory forever. Present your bodies as living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God. Don't be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. God gives us gifts, use them to glorify God and let your love be genuine. Abhor  what is evil, hold fast to what is good. Outdo one another and showing honor. Rejoice in hope, be patient in tribulation, be consistent in prayer and live in harmony and peaceably with all.

Day 7

Be subject to the governing authorities as God has appointed them. We don't owe others except to love each other, love fulfills the law.  Welcome the weak in faith and encourage them, and not judge. Every knee will bow, every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord. Never cause another brother to stumble. We who are strong have an obligation to the weak and not  to please ourselves.  May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that by the power of the Holy Spirit you may abound in hope. Paul always gives glory of his ministry to Christ not himself. Be wise to what is good and innocent to what is evil.

Week 48 November 26 - December 2

Day 1

Paul and Silas take Timothy with them preaching. The churches are strengthened and are increasing. The Lord guides them where they should go and not go. Paul and Silas are put in jail. They prayed and praised God while in chains. The doors opened in the prison and the jailer was about to kill himself because the prisoners would be freed.  Paul told him not to. The jailer wanted to know how to be saved. Paul told him to believe in the Lord Jesus and he would be saved. 

The Breanans  received the word with all eagerness, examining the Scriptures daily to see if it was true.  We need to be like the Breanans and also examine and study the scriptures daily.

Day 2

The Thessalonians became imitators of Paul, Sylvania's and Timothy after receiving the gospel. They turned from idols to God and the word spread from them.  Paul was approved by God and entrusted with the gospel to bring it to many, not to please men but to please God. Paul was thankful to hear that the Thessalonians continue to stand firm in their faith. He told them to continue to walk, pleasing God more and more. Told them to continue to have love for their brothers, and aspire to live quietly, mind your own affairs and work with your hands.  Do these things so that you will walk properly before outsiders and be dependent on no one. 
We will be caught up together to meet the Lord and will always be with Him. We should encourage each other with these words. Be ready for Jesus to come for us. Be at peace among yourselves, admonish the idle, encourage the fainthearted, help the weak and be patient with them all. Don't repay evil for evil. Seek to do good to one another. Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, give thanks in all circumstances for this is the will of God.

Day 3

The Lord will come against those who come against his people. Those who do not know the Lord will suffer punishment of eternal destruction away from the presence of the Lord.  I pray that God would make me worthy of His calling and may fulfill every resolve for good work of faith by His power that He is glorified in me and me in Him. Stand firm and hold on to what you have been taught. The Lord will guard you against the evil one. May the Lord direct your hearts to the love of God and to the steadfastness of Christ. Stay away from any brother who is walking in idleness. Work quietly and earn your own living. Do not grow weary in doing good.

Day 4

Paul prays for the Corinthians to not have divisions among themselves but to be united and of the same mind and judgment.  Christ is not divided. The word of the cross is folly to those perishing but power to those who are being saved. Let the one who boasts, boast in the Lord.  We have wisdom from God, "What no eyes have seen, no ears heard, nor the heart of man can imagine, what God has prepared for those who love Him". 

Day 5

If you have disputes with your brothers do not take them before an unbelieving judge.

Those who will not receive the kingdom of heaven are the, sexually immoral, idolaters, adulterers, homosexual, thieves, greedy, drunkards, reviles, and swindlers. Such were some of you. But now we are washed, sanctified and justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ by the Spirit of God. 
All things are lawful but not all things are helpful. Do not be enslaved by anything for you were bought with a price.  Christ is our rock. No temptation will overtake you more than you can bear. Jesus will help. Don't just seek your own good but the good of your neighbor. Do all you do for the glory of God.

Day 6

Be imitators of Christ. The head of man is Christ, head of wife is man. God has a perfect plan for us. God is a God of order. There is one body with many members, one is not more important than the other. All members are important. If one suffers we all suffer, if one rejoices we rejoice with them. We must have love for others, without it you are nothing. 
Love is patient and kind; does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but rejoices with the truth.  Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things, love never ends.  Pursue love.

Day 7

God is the Father of mercies. He comforts us in any affliction and we can then share this comfort with others.

We must rely on God and He will deliver. God establishes and anoints us and put His seal on us with the Holy Spirit in our hearts as a guarantee. Don't be outwitted by satin. But thanks be to God who in Christ always leads us into triumphal procession and through us spreads the fragrance of the knowledge of Him everywhere. We are the aroma of Christ to God among those who are being saved and among those who are perishing. 
Jesus is with us, so don't lose heart. Though our outer self is wasting away, our inner self is being renewed day by day. Don't look to the things that are seen but those that are unseen, for they are eternal.

Week 47 November 19-25

Day 1

Jesus appeared to the disciples and they worshiped at His feet. He told them to tell their brothers and to go to Galilee and He will see them there. The Jews did not believe that Jesus had risen from the dead. The elders paid off the guards at the tomb to say that Jesus' body was stolen and the story spread among the Jews.

When Jesus was with them He said to them, "Peace be with you. As the Father has sent Me, even so I am sending you. Receive the Holy Spirit". Jesus told them the Great Commission -To make disciples and to teach them. He also said behold I am with you always. Proclaim the Gospel to the whole creation, tell of repentance and forgiveness of sins.

Day 2

Jesus told the apostles not to leave Jerusalem until they receive the promise of the Holy Spirit and power. They will be His witnesses to the remotest parts of the earth. And it shall be that everyone who calls upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. Peter tells others to repent and be baptized and receive the Holy Spirit. Be saved from this perverse generation. 3000 people were saved on that day and they continually devoted themselves to the apostles teaching and to fellowship and breaking of bread and prayer. They were all of one mind and ate together with gladness and sincerity of heart praising God and having favor with all the people. The Lord continued adding to their numbers day by day those who were being saved. 

Day 3

The apostles continued preaching in the towns even after the high priest had told them not to. The apostle said we must obey God rather than men. They were beaten and told not to speak of Jesus but they continued to share the good news of Jesus.

Day 4

The Lord calls Saul, a man who hated Christians and was persecuting them. Saul was blinded and was brought before Ananias, he regained his site and proclaimed Jesus. 

God shows no partiality. All should hear the gospel. It was in Antioch that the believers were there first called Christians.

Day 5

Count it all joy when you meet trials of various kinds. The testing of faith produces steadfastness. If you lack wisdom ask God with faith without doubting. Blessed is the man who remains steadfast under trial. Stand the test and you will receive the crown of life. Every good and perfect gift is from God. Be quick to hear, slow to speak, and slow to anger. Put away filthiness, rampant wickedness, and receive with meekness the implanted word which is able to save our souls. Be doers of the word.

Day 6

Don't treat some differently than others in church. Love your neighbors as yourself. Faith without works is dead so show your faith by your works. Teachers of the Word will incur a stricter judgment. Watch your tongues. Where jealousy and selfish ambition exist, there is disorder and every evil thing. Wisdom from above is pure, peaceable, gentle, reasonable, full of mercy and good fruits, unwavering without hypocrisy. God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble. Submit yourself to God, resist the devil and he will flee from you. If you know the right thing to do and fail to do it then it is sin. Let your yes be yes and your no be no.

Day 7

The apostles spoke and many believed. But the disbelieving Jews stirred up the minds of the Gentiles and the people of the city were divided. The unbelievers will always try to cause confusion and division among those who believe.  We must always continue to pray and stand firm in Christ Jesus.

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.
