This is my 143rd post, and I hope this concludes my personal study of the gospel of Matthew. I started this blog for myself, and if you have been blessed by it as well–praise be to God! Just in case we all got overwhelmed with my previous post (I did), I made a more concise…
Reading: Matthew 28:16-20 “Then Jesus came to them and said, ‘All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptising them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have…
Reading: Matthew 27:11-26 Pilate said to them, “Then what shall I do with Jesus who is called Christ?” They all said, “Let him be crucified!” And he said, “Why, what evil has he done?” But they shouted all the more, “Let him be crucified!” – vv.22-23 And all the people answered, “His blood be on…
Reading: Reading: Matthew 26:69-75 “Surely you are one of them, for your accent gives you away.” (v.73) Have you been to another place wherein you first seemed to blend in the crowd, say in a local market place until—you spoke. Then everybody’s head turned round toward you. You might have spoken in a generic language,…
Reading: Matthew 26:43-46 “Are you still sleeping and resting? Look, the hour is near….” v.45 “Behold, now is the favourable time; behold, now is the day of salvation.” – 2 Corinthians 6:2
Reading: Matthew 26:41 “Watch and pray so that you will not fall into temptation. The spirit is willing, but the body is weak.” Lord, thank you for your Holy Spirit who helps me to pray. I also pray for your Spirit of discernment. Open my eyes, my ears, my mind and my heart, Lord, and…
Reading: Matthew 26:17-25 “I wish, God that you just didn’t bring me forth into this world.” Many of us would have said that in our younger years as we went through trials, disciplines and self-inflicted pain. Even Job said that (Job 10:18-19). Jesus said that it would had been better for the man who betrayed…
Reading: Matthew 26:6-13 When Jesus was anointed with nard at the house of Simon the Leper in Bethany, his disciples would have been with him 3 years—witnessing all the healing, the raising of the dead, multiplying loaves of bread and many other miracles. When He walked on the water and calmed the storm they realised…
Reading: Matthew 25:31-46 After the thousand years of Jesus’ reign on earth will come the Great White Throne Judgment. I believe Matthew 25:31-46 is part of that scene. But going back to my question—will politicians go to heaven (or which among them)? I don’t know—I will be judged myself, as I also belong to the…
Reading: Matthew 25:31-46 When Jesus returns to earth, He will be governor of the whole world. And after a thousand years, He will judge the nations. He will separate the peoples—the sheep on the right, the goats on the left. To the righteous (sheep on the right) He will give the kingdom. He will tell…
