Disciples Do That!

And the disciples went, and did as Jesus commanded them.

Matthew 21:6

Reading:

Matthew 21:1-16

“Behold, thy King cometh unto thee, meek…” (Matthew 21:5).

When may I not be meek?

What loopholes to meekness have I “discovered”?

How careful am I with Jesus’ commands?

Do I have answers for the questions of the day?

How do I respond to the wonderful things that God does?

Can I match the praise of the babes and sucklings?

[The Scriptures say in Matthew 21:3 -- The Lord hath need of them]
from Matthew 21:3

Be Last First!

But many that are first shall be last; and the last shall be first.

Matthew 19:30

Reading:

Matthew 19:16-30

Do I value anything above perfection and above entering into eternal life?

Have I deluded myself into thinking I love my neighbor as myself?

Do I think Jesus required too much of the young man?

Am I glad Jesus doesn’t say the same thing to me?

Or does He?

Since it impedes entering into the kingdom of heaven, why get more stuff?

Do I doubt my reward for having forsaken all to follow Jesus?

What’s the solution to unbelief in all this?

“Then answered Peter and said unto him, Behold, we have forsaken all, and followed thee; what shall we have therefore?” (Matthew 19:27).

[The Scriptures say in Matthew 19:27 -- Behold, we have...what shall we have?]
