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.

Daily Bible Reading “Blessed is He who Comes in the Name of the Lord” (Matthew 23:13:39)

Posted on by

Blessed is He who Comes in the Name of the Lord

Today’s Daily Bible Reading is from Matthew 23:13:39. In this Scripture, Jesus turns His attention to the scribes, Pharisees, and hypocrites. Today’s lesson is hard because Jesus was angry with them for the way they conducted themselves. Do you wonder what they did to make Him angry?

They made much of some things but left other things undone. They weren’t honest in their dealings with people. As you read through these Scriptures, think about these things Jesus is talking about. If you are guilty of any of them, bow your head, pray, and ask Him to forgive you.

Jesus says we need to get the inside, our heart, and soul, right with Him, instead of just putting on an outward appearance of being right with Him. He is more concerned about us having a relationship with Him than a lot of other things we concern ourselves with.

 

Daily Bible Reading:

Matthew 23:13-39

13 But woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye shut up the kingdom of heaven against men: for ye neither go in yourselves, neither suffer ye them that are entering to go in.
14 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye devour widows’ houses, and for a pretence make long prayer: therefore ye shall receive the greater damnation.
15 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye compass sea and land to make one proselyte, and when he is made, ye make him twofold more the child of hell than yourselves.
16 Woe unto you, ye blind guides, which say, Whosoever shall swear by the temple, it is nothing; but whosoever shall swear by the gold of the temple, he is a debtor!
17 Ye fools and blind: for whether is greater, the gold, or the temple that sanctifieth the gold?
18 And, Whosoever shall swear by the altar, it is nothing; but whosoever sweareth by the gift that is upon it, he is guilty.
19 Ye fools and blind: for whether is greater, the gift, or the altar that sanctifieth the gift?
20 Whoso therefore shall swear by the altar, sweareth by it, and by all things thereon.
21 And whoso shall swear by the temple, sweareth by it, and by him that dwelleth therein.
22 And he that shall swear by heaven, sweareth by the throne of God, and by him that sitteth thereon.
23 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye pay tithe of mint and anise and cummin, and have omitted the weightier matters of the law, judgment, mercy, and faith: these ought ye to have done, and not to leave the other undone.
24 Ye blind guides, which strain at a gnat, and swallow a camel.
25 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye make clean the outside of the cup and of the platter, but within they are full of extortion and excess.
26 Thou blind Pharisee, cleanse first that which is within the cup and platter, that the outside of them may be clean also.
27 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye are like unto whited sepulchres, which indeed appear beautiful outward, but are within full of dead [men’s] bones, and of all uncleanness.
28 Even so ye also outwardly appear righteous unto men, but within ye are full of hypocrisy and iniquity.
29 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! because ye build the tombs of the prophets, and garnish the sepulchres of the righteous,
30 And say, If we had been in the days of our fathers, we would not have been partakers with them in the blood of the prophets.
31 Wherefore ye be witnesses unto yourselves, that ye are the children of them which killed the prophets.
32 Fill ye up then the measure of your fathers.
33 Ye serpents, ye generation of vipers, how can ye escape the damnation of hell?
34 Wherefore, behold, I send unto you prophets, and wise men, and scribes: and some of them ye shall kill and crucify; and some of them shall ye scourge in your synagogues, and persecute them from city to city:
35 That upon you may come all the righteous blood shed upon the earth, from the blood of righteous Abel unto the blood of Zacharias son of Barachias, whom ye slew between the temple and the altar.
36 Verily I say unto you, All these things shall come upon this generation.
37 O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, thou that killest the prophets, and stonest them which are sent unto thee, how often would I have gathered thy children together, even as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, and ye would not!
38 Behold, your house is left unto you desolate.
39 For I say unto you, Ye shall not see me henceforth, till ye shall say, Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord.

 

Things to think about:

  • What were some of the things the Lord talked to the scribes, Pharisees, and hypocrites about?
  • Was Jesus more concerned about the outside being clean or the inside?
  • Why does Jesus tell them their house is left desolate?

 

Prayer of the Day:

Dear Heavenly Father,

Please help us not to be like the scribes, Pharisees, and hypocrites. Help us to do what is right in Your eyes. Help us to get the inside of our vessels clean and pure before You and then the outside will be clean also. 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)

Posted on by

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)

Posted on by

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 “Parable of the Wedding Feast” (Matthew 22:1-22)

Posted on by

Parable of the Wedding Feast

Today’s Daily Bible Reading is from Matthew 22:1-22. In this Scripture, Jesus tells a parable saying the kingdom of heaven is like a king who made a marriage for his son. He sent his servants to gather the people who were invited to the marriage and they wouldn’t come. He sent out more servants telling the people the wedding feast was ready, but they still wouldn’t come, then he took his servants and slew them. This made the king angry so he sent his armies to destroy them and burned up their city.

He tells his servants that the wedding feast is ready, but the ones who were invited weren’t worthy, so “Go into the street, and ask anybody you see to come.” The servants went into the streets and gathered as many as they could so the wedding was full of guests.

When the king saw the guests there was one man who didn’t have wedding garments on, and the king asked him how he got in without his wedding garments? Back in this day and time, the wedding garments were provided by the person giving the wedding. The man was speechless. The king had his servants bind his hands and feet and cast him into outer darkness. Then he says, “Many are called, but few are chosen.” This is a picture of those who are lost without God.

The father is a picture of God. The son is a picture of Jesus. The wedding guests are a picture of Israel. They were the first ones to be invited, but they rejected Jesus. Romans 1:16 says, “For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.” Everyone is invited, but not everyone will accept the invitation to come to the Lord Jesus Christ.

The Pharisees tried to trick Jesus by asking Him if it was lawful to pay taxes. Jesus tells them to render to Caesar what was Caesar’s and to God what is God’s. Have you given your life to God? He wants you to give your heart and life to Him.

 

Daily Bible Reading:

Matthew 22:1-22

1 And Jesus answered and spake unto them again by parables, and said,
2 The kingdom of heaven is like unto a certain king, which made a marriage for his son,
3 And sent forth his servants to call them that were bidden to the wedding: and they would not come.
4 Again, he sent forth other servants, saying, Tell them which are bidden, Behold, I have prepared my dinner: my oxen and my fatlings are killed, and all things are ready: come unto the marriage.
5 But they made light of it, and went their ways, one to his farm, another to his merchandise:
6 And the remnant took his servants, and entreated them spitefully, and slew them.
7 But when the king heard thereof, he was wroth: and he sent forth his armies, and destroyed those murderers, and burned up their city.
8 Then saith he to his servants, The wedding is ready, but they which were bidden were not worthy.
9 Go ye therefore into the highways, and as many as ye shall find, bid to the marriage.
10 So those servants went out into the highways, and gathered together all as many as they found, both bad and good: and the wedding was furnished with guests.
11 And when the king came in to see the guests, he saw there a man which had not on a wedding garment:
12 And he saith unto him, Friend, how camest thou in hither not having a wedding garment? And he was speechless.
13 Then said the king to the servants, Bind him hand and foot, and take him away, and cast him into outer darkness; there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
14 For many are called, but few are chosen.
15 Then went the Pharisees, and took counsel how they might entangle him in his talk.
16 And they sent out unto him their disciples with the Herodians, saying, Master, we know that thou art true, and teachest the way of God in truth, neither carest thou for any man: for thou regardest not the person of men.
17 Tell us therefore, What thinkest thou? Is it lawful to give tribute unto Caesar, or not?
18 But Jesus perceived their wickedness, and said, Why tempt ye me, ye hypocrites?
19 Shew me the tribute money. And they brought unto him a penny.
20 And he saith unto them, Whose is this image and superscription?
21 They say unto him, Caesar’s. Then saith he unto them, Render therefore unto Caesar the things which are Caesar’s; and unto God the things that are God’s.
22 When they had heard these words, they marvelled, and left him, and went their way.

 

Things to think about:

  • Who is invited to the wedding feast?
  • Who will attend?
  • Who won’t attend? Why?

 

Prayer of the Day:

Dear Heavenly Father,

Thank You that You are preparing the wedding feast for us today. We pray You will help those who haven’t accepted Christ as their Savior yet that they’ll accept Him as Savior and come to know You. Help us to do what is right in all things, render to Caesar what is Caesar’s and to God what is God’s. In Jesus’ name, we pray. We love You, LORD. Amen.
