Perception; March 19, 2026


Matthew 28:9 Suddenly Jesus met them. “Greetings,” he said. They came to him, clasped his feet and worshiped him. Matthew gets the story slightly scrambled, but he does have Mary Magdalene grabbing Jesus’ feet. John, in chapter 20, gives a bit more … Continue reading

Last Days; March 17, 2026


Matthew 24:4 Jesus answered: “Watch out that no one deceives you.” In the verses following, Jesus really lays it on the line. No believer can honestly say, “This isn’t what I signed up for.” This fits perfectly with the very succinct … Continue reading

God’s Truth; March 15, 2026


Matthew 22:15 Then the Pharisees went out and laid plans to trap him in his words. Thinking about this from our perspective, this has got to be a “time to pop the popcorn” moment, because it’s going to be very … Continue reading

Authority; March 14, 2026

Childlike; March 13, 2026


Matthew 19:14 Jesus said, “Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these.” Matthew was deeply impressed by Jesus’ attitude toward children. He had been a tax collector, which … Continue reading

Martyrdom; March 11, 2026
