Hear Him

This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased; hear ye him.

Matthew 17:5

Reading:

Matthew 17:1-13

I like life’s highs (even though sometimes I find myself dreading the lows that I know are sure to come).

“Then answered Peter, and said unto Jesus, Lord, it is good for us to be here…” (Matthew 17:4).

Apparently good ole Peter wanted to prolong the experience.

I would have also, I’m sure.

But we have to come down.

Jesus went with them.

I’m glad He goes with me as well.

Iniquity and Love

And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold.

Matthew 24:12

Reading:

Matthew 24:1-14

How alert and discerning am I?

Could I swayed by deceivers?

“Then shall they deliver you up” — Do I qualify as a target?

How deep and secure is my loyalty to my fellow Christians?

What effect is iniquity having on me?

Is my spiritual commitment now sufficient to carry me through to the end?

Is the gospel of the kingdom going forth from me?
