Daily Bible Reading “Jesus Talks about the End of Time” (Matthew 24:1-35)

Jesus Talks About the End of Time

Today’s Daily Bible Reading is from Matthew 24:1-35. In this Scripture, Jesus left the temple and His disciples came and wanted to show Him the buildings of the temple. Jesus tells them not one of the stones will be left intact; they’ll all be thrown down. Was He speaking literally?

Jesus went to sit on the Mount of Olives, and the disciples came to Him asking Him what the signs of His coming and the end of the world would be. Jesus warns them there will be many who will come claiming to be Him, but warns them not to be deceived. We have to be careful who we listen to. It is good for us to read our Bible, so we can know the truth for ourselves.

Jesus tells them there will be wars and nations will rise against nations, there will be famines, pests, and earthquakes. Does any of this sound familiar? Jesus tells them there will be persecutions, and people will turn against one another. Jesus compares these happenings to the labor a woman goes through when she is having a baby. The pains will get stronger and stronger until the baby is birthed.

Jesus says the gospel will be preached to all nations, and then the end will come. In Matthew 24:27-35 He tells them what will happen.

Jesus compares His coming to the fig tree and reminds us to watch for the signs. When we see these things happening Jesus is talking about we’ll know the time is drawing near. We are to watch and be ready for His appearance.

I know these Scriptures are heavy, but I want to encourage you to keep the faith, and anxiously await the coming of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

If you haven’t accepted Jesus as your Lord and Savior, I encourage you to do it before it is too late. God loves you, and it isn’t His will that any should perish.

 

Daily Bible Reading:

Matthew 24:1-35

1 And Jesus went out, and departed from the temple: and his disciples came to him for to shew him the buildings of the temple.
2 And Jesus said unto them, See ye not all these things? verily I say unto you, There shall not be left here one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down.
3 And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world?
4 And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you.
5 For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.
6 And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.
7 For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places.
8 All these are the beginning of sorrows.
9 Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name’s sake.
10 And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another.
11 And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many.
12 And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold.
13 But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.
14 And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.
15 When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand:)
16 Then let them which be in Judaea flee into the mountains:
17 Let him which is on the housetop not come down to take any thing out of his house:
18 Neither let him which is in the field return back to take his clothes.
19 And woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck in those days!
20 But pray ye that your flight be not in the winter, neither on the sabbath day:
21 For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.
22 And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect’s sake those days shall be shortened.
23 Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is Christ, or there; believe it not.
24 For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.
25 Behold, I have told you before.
26 Wherefore if they shall say unto you, Behold, he is in the desert; go not forth: behold, he is in the secret chambers; believe it not.
27 For as the lightning cometh out of the east, and shineth even unto the west; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
28 For wheresoever the carcase is, there will the eagles be gathered together.
29 Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken:
30 And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.
31 And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.
32 Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When his branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is nigh:
33 So likewise ye, when ye shall see all these things, know that it is near, even at the doors.
34 Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled.
35 Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.

 

Things to think about:

  • What did Jesus tell the disciples about the temple?
  • What did Jesus say for us to take heed to?
  • What did Jesus say about the gospel of the kingdom?
  • What is the significance of the fig tree?

 

Prayer of the Day:

Dear Heavenly Father,

As we read this Scripture, where Jesus tells the disciples about the end of time, help us not to be deceived. Help us to discern the truth. Help us to keep the faith. These are troubled times we read about and we need Your help to get through them. Help us to look forward to the day when we see the Son of Man coming in the clouds. In Jesus’ name, we pray. We love You, LORD. Amen.

Daily Bible Reading “Humble Thyself in the Sight of the Lord” (Matthew 23:1-12)

Humble Thyself in the Sight of the Lord

Today’s Daily Bible Reading is from Matthew 23:1-12. In this Scripture, Jesus speaks to the multitude, and to His disciples. This is His last public speech. It shows us, Jesus, not only as a loving Savior but also as our judge.

Jesus tells the crowds that the scribes and Pharisees sit in Moses’ seat, and to do as they say, but don’t follow their example because what they say, they don’t do. In other words, they don’t practice what they preach. Jesus says they want to be seen of man, and to be put on a pedestal. We have to be careful not to try to earn our love from Jesus because He wants us to have a personal relationship with Him. We have to make sure we don’t let our pride or the desire for being recognized get in the way of our relationship with God.

Jesus says we should be humble. He tells the crowds not to desire to be called “Rabbi,” or “Masters,” because there is only one who is your Master: it is Christ. He also says we shouldn’t call anyone “Father,” for there is only one Father, and He is in heaven. Jesus reminds them the greatest among them shall be their servant, and whoever is exalted will be humbled, and whoever humbles himself will be exalted.

 

Daily Bible Reading:

Matthew 23:1-12

1 Then spake Jesus to the multitude, and to his disciples,
2 Saying, The scribes and the Pharisees sit in Moses’ seat:
3 All therefore whatsoever they bid you observe, that observe and do; but do not ye after their works: for they say, and do not.
4 For they bind heavy burdens and grievous to be borne, and lay them on men’s shoulders; but they themselves will not move them with one of their fingers.
5 But all their works they do for to be seen of men: they make broad their phylacteries, and enlarge the borders of their garments,
6 And love the uppermost rooms at feasts, and the chief seats in the synagogues,
7 And greetings in the markets, and to be called of men, Rabbi, Rabbi.
8 But be not ye called Rabbi: for one is your Master, even Christ; and all ye are brethren.
9 And call no man your father upon the earth: for one is your Father, which is in heaven.
10 Neither be ye called masters: for one is your Master, even Christ.
11 But he that is greatest among you shall be your servant.
12 And whosoever shall exalt himself shall be abased; and he that shall humble himself shall be exalted.

 

Things to think about:

  • What does Jesus say about our motives?
  • Who does Jesus say will be exalted?
  • Why did Jesus say not to call anyone “Father”?

 

Prayer of the Day:

Dear Heavenly Father,

As we read this Scripture we are humbled. Help us as we try to do the things that are right. Help us not to do things for man’s applause, but to lift You up. Help us to concentrate on our relationship with You and not what we can do to be noticed. In Jesus’ name, we pray. We love You, LORD. Amen.

Daily Bible Reading “Jesus talks to the Sadducees and Pharisees” (Matthew 22:23-46)

Jesus talks to the Sadducees and Pharisees

Today’s Daily Bible Reading is from Matthew 22:23-46. In this Scripture, the Sadducees came to Jesus and asked Him about the Law of Moses which said if a man dies and has no children his brother should marry his wife and have children with her as seed for his brother.

They tell Jesus this ridiculous story of seven brothers, how the first one married, then died and left his wife to his brother. This happened until the wife had been passed down to all seven brothers, then the woman died.

Then they ask Jesus, “In the resurrection, whose wife will she be?” Jesus tells them they don’t know the Scriptures or the power of God, for in the resurrection, there will be no marriage, and they’ll be as the angels of God. Jesus informs them concerning the resurrection, that God isn’t the God of the dead, but is the God of the living. With His response He silenced the Sadducees.

The Pharisees came asking Jesus what was the greatest commandment? Jesus told them, in Matthew 22:37-40, “Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.”

Before they could ask him any more questions, Jesus asked them, “Whose son do you think Christ is?” They responded, “The Son of David.” Jesus asks them then why does David call him Lord, if he is his son? Jesus is referring back to Psalm 110:1, which says, “The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou at my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool.”

Jesus was pointing them to His virgin birth by making them think about whose Son He was. In the last verse of this chapter it says that no man was able to ask Him any more questions from that day forward.

Daily Bible Reading:

Matthew 22:23-46

23 The same day came to him the Sadducees, which say that there is no resurrection, and asked him,
24 Saying, Master, Moses said, If a man die, having no children, his brother shall marry his wife, and raise up seed unto his brother.
25 Now there were with us seven brethren: and the first, when he had married a wife, deceased, and, having no issue, left his wife unto his brother:
26 Likewise the second also, and the third, unto the seventh.
27 And last of all the woman died also.
28 Therefore in the resurrection whose wife shall she be of the seven? for they all had her.
29 Jesus answered and said unto them, Ye do err, not knowing the scriptures, nor the power of God.
30 For in the resurrection they neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are as the angels of God in heaven.
31 But as touching the resurrection of the dead, have ye not read that which was spoken unto you by God, saying,
32 I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob? God is not the God of the dead, but of the living.
33 And when the multitude heard this, they were astonished at his doctrine.
34 But when the Pharisees had heard that he had put the Sadducees to silence, they were gathered together.
35 Then one of them, which was a lawyer, asked him a question, tempting him, and saying,
36 Master, which is the great commandment in the law?
37 Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.
38 This is the first and great commandment.
39 And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
40 On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.
41 While the Pharisees were gathered together, Jesus asked them,
42 Saying, What think ye of Christ? whose son is he? They say unto him, The Son of David.
43 He saith unto them, How then doth David in spirit call him Lord, saying,
44 The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, till I make thine enemies thy footstool?
45 If David then call him Lord, how is he his son?
46 And no man was able to answer him a word, neither durst any man from that day forth ask him any more questions.

 

Things to think about:

  • What was Jesus’ response to them concerning the woman with seven husbands?
  • What does Jesus say is the most important commandment?
  • What does Jesus say the second most important commandment is?

 

Prayer of the Day:

Dear Heavenly Father,

In this Scripture, Jesus reminds us of the first two commandments. The first one, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. The second one, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself. Help us to do both of these. In Jesus’ name, we pray. We love You, LORD.  Amen.

Daily Bible Reading “Jesus Tells Parables” (Matthew 21:28-46)

Jesus Tells Parables

Today’s Daily Bible Reading is from Matthew 21:28-46. In this Scripture, Jesus tells two parables. In the first parable, He tells about a man who had two sons whom he asked to go work in his vineyard. The first son said no, but later repented and went. The second son said he would go, but didn’t. Which one obeyed his father? Look at Jesus’ response in Matthew 21:31-32. Which son are you?

Then in Matthew 21:33, Jesus starts to tell them another parable: about a man who planted a vineyard and went to a far country and left another to attend to it. When it was time for the fruit to be harvested he sent his servants to collect the profits. The servants in return were beaten, stoned, and killed. He sent more servants and the workers at the vineyard did the same thing to them. Then the owner of the vineyard sent his son, thinking he would be respected, but he was killed for the inheritance.

Read Matthew 21:42-44 to see what Jesus’ response to them was about this parable. This parable is a picture of how God sent His people prophets and teachers before Jesus, but the people didn’t listen, instead, destroyed the prophets and teachers. Then God sent Jesus, His Son, and the people killed Him.

Daily Bible Reading:

Matthew 21:28-46

28 But what think ye? A certain man had two sons; and he came to the first, and said, Son, go work to day in my vineyard.
29 He answered and said, I will not: but afterward he repented, and went.
30 And he came to the second, and said likewise. And he answered and said, I go, sir: and went not.
31 Whether of them twain did the will of his father? They say unto him, The first. Jesus saith unto them, Verily I say unto you, That the publicans and the harlots go into the kingdom of God before you.
32 For John came unto you in the way of righteousness, and ye believed him not: but the publicans and the harlots believed him: and ye, when ye had seen it, repented not afterward, that ye might believe him.
33 Hear another parable: There was a certain householder, which planted a vineyard, and hedged it round about, and digged a winepress in it, and built a tower, and let it out to husbandmen, and went into a far country:
34 And when the time of the fruit drew near, he sent his servants to the husbandmen, that they might receive the fruits of it.
35 And the husbandmen took his servants, and beat one, and killed another, and stoned another.
36 Again, he sent other servants more than the first: and they did unto them likewise.
37 But last of all he sent unto them his son, saying, They will reverence my son.
38 But when the husbandmen saw the son, they said among themselves, This is the heir; come, let us kill him, and let us seize on his inheritance.
39 And they caught him, and cast him out of the vineyard, and slew him.
40 When the lord therefore of the vineyard cometh, what will he do unto those husbandmen?
41 They say unto him, He will miserably destroy those wicked men, and will let out his vineyard unto other husbandmen, which shall render him the fruits in their seasons.
42 Jesus saith unto them, Did ye never read in the scriptures, The stone which the builders rejected, the same is become the head of the corner: this is the Lord’s doing, and it is marvellous in our eyes?
43 Therefore say I unto you, The kingdom of God shall be taken from you, and given to a nation bringing forth the fruits thereof.
44 And whosoever shall fall on this stone shall be broken: but on whomsoever it shall fall, it will grind him to powder.
45 And when the chief priests and Pharisees had heard his parables, they perceived that he spake of them.
46 But when they sought to lay hands on him, they feared the multitude, because they took him for a prophet.

Things to think about:

  • What do you gather from these parables?
  • In the first parable, did either son obey his father’s request?
  • In the second parable, why do people find it so hard to trust?


Prayer of the Day:

Dear Heavenly Father,

Thank You for all the people You sent into this world to tell us about You. Please forgive us for where we failed You. Help us to do Your will. Thank You especially for Your Son, Jesus, who came into this world and died on the cross for our sins, that we might have eternal life with You in heaven. Help those who haven’t accepted Him yet to open their hearts and minds to You and grasp the wonderful gift You offered to us all, if we only believe. We love You, LORD.  Amen.

Daily Bible Reading “Jesus Curses the Fig Tree” (Matthew 21:18-27)

Jesus Curses the Fig Tree

Today’s Daily Bible Reading is from Matthew 21:18-27. In this Scripture, Jesus came into the city, and was hungry. He saw a fig tree, but there was no fruit, so Jesus cursed the tree by saying there would be no fruit growing on it forever. Then the fig tree withered away. Why do you think Jesus caused the fig tree to wither? It reminds me of when Jesus is talking about the vine and the branches and He says, if the branch isn’t bearing fruit, cut it off.

The disciples saw it and were amazed. Jesus tells them, “If ye have faith, and doubt not, ye shall not only do this which is done to the fig tree, but also if ye shall say unto this mountain, be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; it shall be done.”

Let’s take a look at Mark 11:23: “For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith.”

This Scripture basically says the same thing. Then Jesus tells them that whatever you ask in prayer, believing, you shall receive. After reading this Scripture, do you wonder what our problem is; that we don’t ask or we don’t believe?

This reminds me of one of my favorite Scriptures on this matter of asking God and praying to our Heavenly Father for our needs: Matthew 7:7-11

7 Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you:
8 For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.
9 Or what man is there of you, whom if his son ask bread, will he give him a stone?
10 Or if he ask a fish, will he give him a serpent?
11 If ye Then being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him?

When Jesus went to the temple the chief priests and elders asked Him by what authority He did these things. Jesus responded to them with a question instead of answering them directly, Is the baptism of John from heaven or man?” They said they couldn’t say, and Jesus told them neither could He tell them by whose authority He did these things.

 

Daily Bible Reading:

Matthew 21:18-27

18 Now in the morning as he returned into the city, he hungered.
19 And when he saw a fig tree in the way, he came to it, and found nothing thereon, but leaves only, and said unto it, Let no fruit grow on thee henceforward for ever. And presently the fig tree withered away.
20 And when the disciples saw it, they marvelled, saying, How soon is the fig tree withered away!
21 Jesus answered and said unto them, Verily I say unto you, If ye have faith, and doubt not, ye shall not only do this which is done to the fig tree, but also if ye shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; it shall be done.
22 And all things, whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive.
23 And when he was come into the temple, the chief priests and the elders of the people came unto him as he was teaching, and said, By what authority doest thou these things? and who gave thee this authority?
24 And Jesus answered and said unto them, I also will ask you one thing, which if ye tell me, I in like wise will tell you by what authority I do these things.
25 The baptism of John, whence was it? from heaven, or of men? And they reasoned with themselves, saying, If we shall say, From heaven; he will say unto us, Why did ye not then believe him?
26 But if we shall say, Of men; we fear the people; for all hold John as a prophet.
27 And they answered Jesus, and said, We cannot tell. And he said unto them, Neither tell I you by what authority I do these things.

 

Things to think about:

  • Do you believe you will receive whatever you ask of God?
  • Do you ask God to meet your needs?
  • Can you think of a time in your life when you asked, believed, and received what you asked?

 

Prayer of the Day:

Dear Heavenly Father,

Thank You for this Scripture that shows us you gave Your Son, Jesus, the authority to perform miracles on earth. Help us to have the faith we need to ask anything we need of You and believe we’ll receive it. In Jesus’ precious name, we pray. We love You, LORD.  Amen.
