Get Your Story Straight
MARCH 18, 2026
Daily Reading—Deuteronomy 1 / Mark 15:1-23
WHAT GOD HAS SAID:
Mark 14:57-59 And there arose certain, and bare false witness against him, saying, We heard him say, I will destroy this temple that is made with hands, and within three days I will build another made without hands. But neither so did their witness agree together.
WHAT I HAVE SEEN:
One way law enforcement officials determine whether a group of people is telling the truth is by placing them in separate rooms and asking them about the same story. If their stories line up, there is a good chance they are telling the truth. If not, they are probably lying.
The men accusing Christ in our verses could not get their stories straight. Why? because they were lying.
The world needs to hear the truth about Jesus Christ. It is so great to have the Word of God, which never contradicts itself. All the authors, at various times and places, tell the same story in all 66 books of the Bible. Why? It is the truth.
WHAT WILL YOU DO:
Shouldn’t we thank God for the straight truth about His love and grace?
IF YOU ARE JOURNALING:
Ask yourself, what are MY THOUGHTS concerning this passage and today’s devotion?
Within this reading, do I find a CHALLENGE for my life?
What actions will I take today or this week to meet this CHALLENGE?
