Although Matthew is recording the some of the same things Luke does, He mentions a few details Luke doesn’t. I’m sure glad that more than one person wrote a “Gospel”…and I wish that there were more! Think of what we could learn!
Matthew 19, Mark 10
The problem with most marriages isn’t the spouse. It’s you. You are the problem. I thought someone should tell you…I mean, if we truly love one another, shouldn’t we say in love what we honestly believe will help? I promise you this: If you are willing to change you, or allow God to change you…then your marriage can be saved. Or would you rather that it ended? (that says something too).
Luke 17:11 – 18:14
Jesus offered some clues as to what the world would look like when He returned. Will His return catch Christians off guard?
John 11
Even though I have read this many times, I still get a chill when I imagine Jesus yelling “Lazarus, come out!”.
Luke 16-17:10
For years I couldn’t understand why Jesus was commending a guy who was ripping off his boss. Then I finally got it…
Luke 14-15
You have to admire the genius of Jesus. Every conversation, every word, every occasion….all of it is used to illustrate the grand decision that lies before the human race.
Luke 12 – 13
Looking at the main theme’s today, it seems to be Preparation and Warning against Greed. The two are closely related, and how we handle worldly possessions will either benefit us or send us into hell.
Luke 10-11, John 10:22-42
Knowing that I would soon be blogging on what I read today, I felt almost overwhelmed. How can I possibly comment on all this? Jesus provided more teaching in these two chapters than I could preach on in an entire sermon series.
John 9 10:21
As I have said before, John is writing to offer convincing proofs that Jesus is the Messiah, and today’s reading contains two great examples.
John 7-8
Okay, I have to be honest…for just a second there I had the fleeting thought that Jesus told a lie.
