Is It I?

March 17, 2022
Daily Reading – Numbers 32-33 / Mark 14:17-42

WHAT GOD HAS SAID:

Mark 14:18-19 And as they sat and did eat, Jesus said, Verily I say unto you, One of you which eateth with me shall betray me. And they began to be sorrowful, and to say unto him one by one, Is it I? and another said, Is it I?

WHAT I HAVE SEEN:

     You would think after walking with Jesus, living with Him, serving, and trusting in Him, the disciples would know if they loved Him or not. That after three years they might know in their hearts if they would betray Him. Yet Jesus said one of them would betray Him, and they ALL asked the same question. “Is It I?”

      That probably is a good question for us all to ask. You might be thinking, “What, I would never betray His love.” Yet, if we are honest with ourselves, how many of us can say we have never committed a sin?

     When we sin, we in a sense betray the love that Jesus displayed for us on the cross of Calvary. I am so glad we serve a loving, forgiving Lord and Saviour.

WHAT WILL YOU DO:

 If you ask the question, “Is It I,” and the answer comes back yes, what will you do?   (Hint: 1 John 1:9)

For The People

MARCH 16, 2022
Daily Reading – Numbers 30-31 / Mark 14:1-16

WHAT GOD HAS SAID:

Mark 14:2 But they said, Not on the feast day, lest there be an uproar of the people.

WHAT I HAVE SEEN:

  If there were any group of people in the bible that we as Christians would not want to be associated with it would be those who sought to put Jesus to death. That is what the chief priests and the scribes were planning to do. However, they decided not to do it on the feast day because it might upset the people.

    I wonder how many times in our lives we do things not for the right reasons, to glorify God, but for the wrong reason, because it might upset the people. We will not sing a song, we do not raise our hand in praise, we may not befriend a person someone else does not like all because it may offend another person. 

WHAT WILL YOU DO:

 Are we any better than these Chief Priests and scribes when we live to serve people over serving God?

Trust Him

March 14, 2022
Daily Reading – Numbers 26-27 / Mark 12:28-44

WHAT GOD HAS SAID:

Mark 12:43-44 And he called unto him his disciples, and saith unto them, Verily I say unto you, That this poor widow hath cast more in, than all they which have cast into the treasury: For all they did cast in of their abundance; but she of her want did cast in all that she had, even all her living.

WHAT I HAVE SEEN:

      Jesus made a point of calling His disciples over to see what this widow had done. Some take this as a financial lesson. That somehow, we are to give all our money to the church. However, the point of His lesson had little to do with the amount of money she gave.

      As she gave all she had, when others gave a little of their left-over wealth, Jesus wanted the disciples to see a deeper message than that of the money. His point was her faith. She totally trusted God would take care of her.

      Earlier in verse 30 Jesus told a man to love God with everything he has. His heart, mind, soul, and body. That person did not get what Jesus meant, but this widow woman did. Jesus wanted the disciples to see real faith.

WHAT WILL YOU DO:

The question is, do we see it today?
