Daily Bible Reading “Hosanna in the Highest” (Matthew 21:1-17)

Posted on by

Hosanna in the Highest

Today’s Daily Bible Reading is from Matthew 21:1-17. In this Scripture, Jesus and the disciples were going to Jerusalem, and they came to Bethphage, to the Mount of Olives. Jesus sent two of his disciples to the village to find an ass, a colt, and bring them to Him.

Notice Jesus already knows the donkey and the colt are there, and where to send His disciples to get them. He tells them if anybody asks; tell them the Lord has need of them. This was done, so it would be fulfilled what the prophet had said.

Zechariah 9:9, says “Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion; shout, O daughter of Jerusalem: behold, thy King cometh unto thee: he is just, and having salvation; lowly, and riding upon an ass, and upon a colt the foal of an ass.”

The disciples did as he had asked them and made them ready and sat Jesus on it. The multitude spread their clothes and cut branches from the trees and placed them along the way, saying, “Hosanna to the Son of David: Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord; Hosanna in the highest.”

Jesus went to the temple of God, and found people there buying and selling. He became angry, turned over the tables and told them, “My house shall be called the house of prayer; but ye have made it a den of thieves.” Then the blind and lame came to Him in the temple, and He healed them.

When the scribes and Pharisees saw what Jesus had done and that the children were crying out and praising him, they were upset and asked Jesus, “Do you hear what they are saying?” Jesus answers them, “Have you not read, Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings thou hast perfected praise?”

Don’t you think we could take some pointers from this Scripture about how to praise Jesus?

 

Daily Bible Reading:

Matthew 21:1-17

1 And when they drew nigh unto Jerusalem, and were come to Bethphage, unto the mount of Olives, then sent Jesus two disciples,
2 Saying unto them, Go into the village over against you, and straightway ye shall find an ass tied, and a colt with her: loose them, and bring them unto me.
3 And if any man say ought unto you, ye shall say, The Lord hath need of them; and straightway he will send them.
4 All this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying,
5 Tell ye the daughter of Sion, Behold, thy King cometh unto thee, meek, and sitting upon an ass, and a colt the foal of an ass.
6 And the disciples went, and did as Jesus commanded them,
7 And brought the ass, and the colt, and put on them their clothes, and they set him thereon.
8 And a very great multitude spread their garments in the way; others cut down branches from the trees, and strawed them in the way.
9 And the multitudes that went before, and that followed, cried, saying, Hosanna to the Son of David: Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord; Hosanna in the highest.
10 And when he was come into Jerusalem, all the city was moved, saying, Who is this?
11 And the multitude said, This is Jesus the prophet of Nazareth of Galilee.
12 And Jesus went into the temple of God, and cast out all them that sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the moneychangers, and the seats of them that sold doves,
13 And said unto them, It is written, My house shall be called the house of prayer; but ye have made it a den of thieves.
14 And the blind and the lame came to him in the temple; and he healed them.
15 And when the chief priests and scribes saw the wonderful things that he did, and the children crying in the temple, and saying, Hosanna to the Son of David; they were sore displeased,
16 And said unto him, Hearest thou what these say? And Jesus saith unto them, Yea; have ye never read, Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings thou hast perfected praise?
17 And he left them, and went out of the city into Bethany; and he lodged there.

 

Things to think about:

  • How did Jesus know where to send the disciples to get the animals He needed?
  • Why did Jesus turn the tables over in the temple?
  • Why were the children praising Jesus?

 

Prayer of the Day:

Dear Heavenly Father,

We thank You for this Scripture telling us about your Son, Jesus. We see that He foreknew things. We also see how He touched people and healed them. Help us to learn to praise Him, as the people in this Scripture did. Help us to make Your house, the house of prayer and not misuse our churches of today. We love You, LORD. Amen.

Daily Bible Reading “Come and Follow Me” (Matthew 19:13-30)

Posted on by

Come and Follow Me

Today’s Daily Bible Reading is from Matthew 19:13-30. The little children were brought to Jesus and the disciples rebuked them. Jesus told them not to forbid the children to come to Him, for such is the kingdom of heaven. What did Jesus mean by this statement? Jesus laid His hands on the children and then departed.

Then a young man came to Jesus and asked Him what he should do to have eternal life. Jesus asks him why he calls Him good. “God is the only one good,” Jesus says, and tells him to keep the commandments and quotes them to him. The young man tells Jesus he has kept all the commandments. Jesus tells him to sell all he has and give it to the poor, and come and follow Him. The Scripture says, “He went away sorrowful: for he had great possessions.”

Jesus tells the disciples that it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven. Then He says, “With man it is impossible, but with God all things are possible.”

Peter asks Jesus, “What will we receive for following You?” Jesus says they’ll sit on twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel. Jesus tells them anyone who has forsaken houses, or land, or family will receive a hundredfold, and will have everlasting life. He says, “Many who are first, will be last and those who are last will be first.” What is keeping you from coming to Jesus?

Thank God for Jesus, who died on the cross for our sins, that we may be able to inherit eternal life. Ephesians 2:8-9 says, “For by grace are ye saved through faith; it is a gift of God; Not of works, lest any man should boast.”

Daily Bible Reading:

Matthew 19:13-30

13 Then were there brought unto him little children, that he should put his hands on them, and pray: and the disciples rebuked them.
14 But Jesus said, Suffer little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me: for of such is the kingdom of heaven.
15 And he laid his hands on them, and departed thence.
16 And, behold, one came and said unto him, Good Master, what good thing shall I do, that I may have eternal life?
17 And he said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God: but if thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments.
18 He saith unto him, Which? Jesus said, Thou shalt do no murder, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness,
19 Honour thy father and thy mother: and, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
20 The young man saith unto him, All these things have I kept from my youth up: what lack I yet?
21 Jesus said unto him, If thou wilt be perfect, go and sell that thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come and follow me.
22 But when the young man heard that saying, he went away sorrowful: for he had great possessions.
23 Then said Jesus unto his disciples, Verily I say unto you, That a rich man shall hardly enter into the kingdom of heaven.
24 And again I say unto you, It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.
25 When his disciples heard it, they were exceedingly amazed, saying, Who then can be saved?
26 But Jesus beheld them, and said unto them, With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible.
27 Then answered Peter and said unto him, Behold, we have forsaken all, and followed thee; what shall we have therefore?
28 And Jesus said unto them, Verily I say unto you, That ye which have followed me, in the regeneration when the Son of man shall sit in the throne of his glory, ye also shall sit upon twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.
29 And every one that hath forsaken houses, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my name’s sake, shall receive an hundredfold, and shall inherit everlasting life.
30 But many that are first shall be last; and the last shall be first.

 

Things to think about:

  • Why would the disciples rebuke the children?
  • What does Jesus tell them about rebuking the children?
  • Who does Jesus say is good?
  • What does Jesus say to the rich young man?


Prayer of the Day:

Dear Heavenly Father,

Help us as we read this Scripture to understand what it is You want us to do. Thank You for Your Son, Jesus, who came to this world and died on the cross for our sins, so we might have everlasting life. You knew it would be nearly impossible for us to keep all the commandments and do what was required to inherit the kingdom. Help us, dear Lord. In Jesus’ name, we pray. We love you, LORD. Amen.

Daily Bible Reading “What Manner of Love” (1 John 3:1-24)

Posted on by

What Manner of Love

Today’s Daily Bible Reading is from 1 John 3:1-24. In this Scripture, we are told about the great love the Father has given us through His Son, Jesus, so we can become the sons of God. When we accept Jesus Christ as our Savior we are adopted into the family of God.

While we wait for Jesus to come back to get us, we should be purifying ourselves through studying God’s Word and hiding it in our hearts, so we might not sin against Him.

If we have accepted Jesus as our Savior we no longer live under the law, but under grace; but that doesn’t mean we can do as we please.

There should be evidence in our lives that we are saved and one aspect of that evidence should be that we love our brethren.

If God has blessed us and dwells in our hearts then when we see a brother in need, we should help him.

We don’t show our love by words alone, but by doing for one another with sincerity and brotherly love.

 

Daily Bible Reading:

1 John 3:1-24

1 Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not.
2 Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is.
3 And every man that hath this hope in him purifieth himself, even as he is pure.
4 Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law.
5 And ye know that he was manifested to take away our sins; and in him is no sin.
6 Whosoever abideth in him sinneth not: whosoever sinneth hath not seen him, neither known him.
7 Little children, let no man deceive you: he that doeth righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous.
8 He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil.
9 Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God.
10 In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the devil: whosoever doeth not righteousness is not of God, neither he that loveth not his brother.
11 For this is the message that ye heard from the beginning, that we should love one another.
12 Not as Cain, who was of that wicked one, and slew his brother. And wherefore slew he him? Because his own works were evil, and his brother’s righteous.
13 Marvel not, my brethren, if the world hate you.
14 We know that we have passed from death unto life, because we love the brethren. He that loveth not [his] brother abideth in death.
15 Whosoever hateth his brother is a murderer: and ye know that no murderer hath eternal life abiding in him.
16 Hereby perceive we the love of God, because he laid down his life for us: and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren.
17 But whoso hath this world’s good, and seeth his brother have need, and shutteth up his bowels of compassion from him, how dwelleth the love of God in him?
18 My little children, let us not love in word, neither in tongue; but in deed and in truth.
19 And hereby we know that we are of the truth, and shall assure our hearts before him.
20 For if our heart condemn us, God is greater than our heart, and knoweth all things.
21 Beloved, if our heart condemn us not, then have we confidence toward God.
22 And whatsoever we ask, we receive of him, because we keep his commandments, and do those things that are pleasing in his sight.
23 And this is his commandment, That we should believe on the name of his Son Jesus Christ, and love one another, as he gave us commandment.
24 And he that keepeth his commandments dwelleth in him, and he in him. And hereby we know that he abideth in us, by the Spirit which he hath given us.

 

Things to think about:

  • Can you even imagine how much love God has for you?
  • As children of God, how are we to show our love for others?

 

Prayer of the Day:

Dear God,

Thank You for the love You have shown to us by sending Your Son, Jesus to die on the cross for us, that we might be able to become the sons of God. Help us to love one another and show our love for each other. In Jesus’ name, we pray. We love You, LORD.  Amen.

Daily Bible Reading “Great is Thy Faith” (Matthew 15:21-39)

Posted on by

Great is Thy Faith

Today’s Daily Bible Reading is from Matthew 15:21-39. In this Scripture, Jesus departed into the coasts of Tyre and Sidon, which is north of Israel. There was a Canaanite woman who came to Jesus telling Him her daughter was possessed with a devil. But Jesus didn’t answer her. Why did He not acknowledge this woman?

The disciples told Him to send her away because she was crying after them. Jesus told them He was only sent to the lost sheep of Israel. What did He mean by that statement? She was not going to take no for an answer. She knew Jesus was her only hope. She worshiped Him, and begged Him to help her.

Jesus said to her, “It is not meet to take the children’s bread, and to cast it to dogs.” She answered Him, saying, “Truth, Lord: yet the dogs eat of the crumbs which fall from their masters’ table.” Jesus finally acknowledged her, stating that her faith was great and her will would be done.

Then Jesus went by the Sea of Galilee, up into a mountain and sat down. Multitudes of people followed Him there and brought people with all sorts of illnesses and Jesus healed them.

The people had been there with Jesus for three days fasting, and He didn’t want to send them away hungry. So Jesus asked the disciples what they had to give the people to eat. The disciples told Jesus they only had seven loaves of bread and a few fishes.

Jesus instructed the people to sit down. He gave thanks for the food, and gave it to His disciples to distribute to the people. There were four thousand men plus the women and children. When they finished eating, they took up the leftovers and there was seven baskets-full left. Jesus then sent the multitude away and went by ship to the coast of Magdala.

There are two things we can learn from this Scripture. One, is nothing is impossible with God if we turn our problems over to Him and have faith enough to believe He can solve them. The other is, if we bring what we have and present it to God for His use, no matter how small it may seem He can do much more with it than we can even imagine.

 

Daily Bible Reading:

Matthew 15:21-39

21 Then Jesus went thence, and departed into the coasts of Tyre and Sidon.
22 And, behold, a woman of Canaan came out of the same coasts, and cried unto him, saying, Have mercy on me, O Lord, thou Son of David; my daughter is grievously vexed with a devil.
23 But he answered her not a word. And his disciples came and besought him, saying, Send her away; for she crieth after us.
24 But he answered and said, I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel.
25 Then came she and worshipped him, saying, Lord, help me.
26 But he answered and said, It is not meet to take the children’s bread, and to cast it to dogs.
27 And she said, Truth, Lord: yet the dogs eat of the crumbs which fall from their masters’ table.
28 Then Jesus answered and said unto her, O woman, great is thy faith: be it unto thee even as thou wilt. And her daughter was made whole from that very hour.
29 And Jesus departed from thence, and came nigh unto the sea of Galilee; and went up into a mountain, and sat down there.
30 And great multitudes came unto him, having with them those that were lame, blind, dumb, maimed, and many others, and cast them down at Jesus’ feet; and he healed them:
31 Insomuch that the multitude wondered, when they saw the dumb to speak, the maimed to be whole, the lame to walk, and the blind to see: and they glorified the God of Israel.
32 Then Jesus called his disciples unto him, and said, I have compassion on the multitude, because they continue with me now three days, and have nothing to eat: and I will not send them away fasting, lest they faint in the way.
33 And his disciples say unto him, Whence should we have so much bread in the wilderness, as to fill so great a multitude?
34 And Jesus saith unto them, How many loaves have ye? And they said, Seven, and a few little fishes.
35 And he commanded the multitude to sit down on the ground.
36 And he took the seven loaves and the fishes, and gave thanks, and brake them, and gave to his disciples, and the disciples to the multitude.
37 And they did all eat, and were filled: and they took up of the broken meat that was left seven baskets full.
38 And they that did eat were four thousand men, beside women and children.
39 And he sent away the multitude, and took ship, and came into the coasts of Magdala.

 

Things to think about:

  • Have you ever been in a situation where you knew God was the only one who could help you, as the Canaanite woman did?
  • What did you do?
  • Do you find it amazing how Jesus took the little bit of food that the disciples had and fed so many with it?

 

Prayer of the Day:

Dear Heavenly Father,

Thank You for this Scripture which tells us about the way Jesus went about healing people and feeding the multitudes. We see through this Scripture that if we have faith enough to believe, there is nothing impossible with God. As we study Your Word and see all the miracles Jesus performed, help our faith and belief to continue to grow in You. In Jesus’ name, we pray. We love You, LORD. Amen.

Daily Bible Reading “What is the Condition of Your Heart?” (Matthew 15:1-20)

Posted on by

What is the Condition of Your Heart?

Today’s Daily Bible Reading is from Matthew 15:1-20. In this Scripture, the scribes and Pharisees came to Jesus asking Him why the disciples didn’t wash their hands when they ate. Have you ever noticed how people love to condemn others when they have faults themselves?

Jesus tells the scribes and Pharisees they disobey the commands of God by their traditions. He talks to them about one of the Ten Commandments: Honor your father and mother. He tells them they make the commandment of God to honor your parents of no effect by their traditions.

Jesus reminds them that people honor Him with their mouths, but their hearts are far from Him. The disciples ask Jesus if He offended the scribes and Pharisees. Jesus says that the scribes and Pharisees are like the blind leading the blind. Jesus tells them every plant that His Father has not planted will be rooted up.

He tells them it isn’t what goes in the mouth, but what comes out of the mouth that defiles a man. Jesus explains to the disciples that whatever comes out of the mouth comes from the heart. He says the evil that is in your heart comes out of your mouth and that shows the condition of your heart.

We should all use this Scripture from Psalm 19:14, as a prayer to God concerning the words we speak, “Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight, O LORD, my strength, and my redeemer.” Make it a point to guard the words you speak and see how it changes your life.

 

Daily Bible Reading:

Matthew 15:1-20

1 Then came to Jesus scribes and Pharisees, which were of Jerusalem, saying,
2 Why do thy disciples transgress the tradition of the elders? for they wash not their hands when they eat bread.
3 But he answered and said unto them, Why do ye also transgress the commandment of God by your tradition?
4 For God commanded, saying, Honour thy father and mother: and, He that curseth father or mother, let him die the death.
5 But ye say, Whosoever shall say to his father or his mother, It is a gift, by whatsoever thou mightest be profited by me;
6 And honour not his father or his mother, he shall be free. Thus have ye made the commandment of God of none effect by your tradition.
7 Ye hypocrites, well did Esaias prophesy of you, saying,
8 This people draweth nigh unto me with their mouth, and honoureth me with their lips; but their heart is far from me.
9 But in vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.
10 And he called the multitude, and said unto them, Hear, and understand:
11 Not that which goeth into the mouth defileth a man; but that which cometh out of the mouth, this defileth a man.
12 Then came his disciples, and said unto him, Knowest thou that the Pharisees were offended, after they heard this saying?
13 But he answered and said, Every plant, which my heavenly Father hath not planted, shall be rooted up.
14 Let them alone: they be blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind lead the blind, both shall fall into the ditch.
15 Then answered Peter and said unto him, Declare unto us this parable.
16 And Jesus said, Are ye also yet without understanding?
17 Do not ye yet understand, that whatsoever entereth in at the mouth goeth into the belly, and is cast out into the draught?
18 But those things which proceed out of the mouth come forth from the heart; and they defile the man.
19 For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies:
20 These are the things which defile a man: but to eat with unwashen hands defileth not a man.

 

Things to think about:

  • What is the condition of your heart?
  • Have you ever considered that the words you speak come from your heart?
  • Do you honor God with your heart and life?

 

Prayer of the Day:

Dear Heavenly Father,

Thank You for this Scripture. Help us to obey Your Word and to speak words of life. Give us the strength we need to live in a way that is pleasing to You. In Jesus name, we pray. Amen.

But those things which proceed out of the mouth come forth from the heart; and they defile the man. – Matthew 15:18
