Reading: Hebrews 3 – 4:13 “Therefore, holy brothers… consider Jesus, the apostle and high priest of our confession….” (3:1) Moving on from Jesus’ supremacy over angels, the writer of Hebrews now makes the point that Jesus is also greater than Moses…. For Jesus has been counted worthy of more glory than Moses…. Now Moses was…
Reading: Hebrews 2.1-4 “… How shall we escape (i.e., retribution) if we neglect such a great salvation? It was declared at first by the Lord, and it was attested to us by those who heard, while God also bore witness by signs and wonders and various miracles and by gifts of the Holy Spirit distributed…
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.

Reading: Matthew 23:13-28 “… You have neglected the more important matters of the law—justice, mercy and faithfulness.” Expect me to be that preachy child in the playground telling friends and classmates that they’re going to hell because they worship graven images and make hand gesticulations that are un-biblical.

Reading: Matthew 20:29-34 “The crowd rebuked them and told them to be quiet….” (v.31) We sing during our worship service at church–our tongues articulate the words, and yet the moment it starts to enter our hearts and minds we restrain the tears from falling from our eyes, and our arms from lifting up to worship…
Reading: Matthew 20:1-16 Note that in the previous passages (Matthew 19:16-30), the subject was about salvation, following the Lord, and eternal rewards.

Reading: Matthew 19:21-30 Pardon me, but sometimes, I just can’t help laughing about how Jesus’ disciples behaved. Do you react the same, or is it just me? So here comes the rich young man who claimed to have kept all the commandments, and yet, a camel will find it easier to go through the eye…
Reading: Matthew 19:16-30 The rich young man came to Jesus to ask WHAT good thing must he do to get eternal life. Jesus replied that there is only One WHO is good.
