ByDr. Mark April 2, 2026 2 Comments
“After Jesus said these things, He was going on ahead, going up to Jerusalem. When He approached Bethphage and Bethany, near the mountain that is called Olivet, He sent two of the disciples, saying, “Go into the village ahead of you; there, as you enter, you will find a colt tied, on which no one yet has ever sat; untie it and bring it here. And if anyone asks you, ‘Why are...

“While I was in Susa, one of my brothers named Hanani and some other men came from Judah. I asked them about the Jews who had escaped captivity and still lived in Judah. I also asked them about the city of Jerusalem. They answered, “Nehemiah, the Jews who escaped captivity and are in the land of Judah are in much trouble. They are having many problems and are full of shame because the wall...

"So, when we preach about Christ dying to save them, the Jews are offended, and the Gentiles say it’s all nonsense. But God has opened the eyes of those called to salvation, both Jews and Gentiles, to see that Christ is the mighty power of God to save them; Christ himself is the center of God’s wise plan for their salvation.” (I Corinthians 1:23-24 The Living Bible) Tuesday night, as...

“Seventy years are given to us! Some even live to eighty. But even the best years are filled with pain and trouble; soon they disappear, and we fly away.” (Psalm 90: 10 NLT) Since yesterday’s meditation did not meet the criteria to be classified as a Monday Short, I will make it up today. In a Sunday School lesson, I used an analogy of life being like a basketball game, divided into four...

“And Jesus came up and spoke to them, saying, ‘All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to Me. Go, therefore, and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, teaching them to follow all that I commanded you; and behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.’” (Matthew 38:18-20 NASB) The Lord does...

BREAKING NEWS…REALLY!

“Christ arrives right on time to make this happen. He didn’t, and doesn’t, wait for us to get ready. He presented himself for this sacrificial death when we were far too weak and rebellious to do anything to get ourselves ready. And even if we hadn’t been so weak, we wouldn’t have known what to do anyway. We can understand someone dying for a person worth dying for, and we can...

“For those whom He foreknew, He also predestined to become conformed to the image of His Son, so that He would be the firstborn among many brothers and sisters; and these whom He predestined, He also called; and these whom He called, He also justified; and these whom He justified, He also glorified.” (Romans 8:29-30 NASB) It seems like an eternity, but years ago, when my adult...

THE BEST IS YET TO COME

“But on the first day of the week, at early dawn, they came to the tomb bringing the spices which they had prepared.  And they found the stone rolled away from the tomb, but when they entered, they did not find the body of the Lord Jesus.  While they were perplexed about this, behold, two men suddenly stood near them in gleaming clothing; and as the women were terrified and bowed their faces...

IT’S A GOOD DAY!

“We praise you, Lord God!  You treat us with kindness day after day, and you rescue us.” (Psalm 68:19 CEV) I finally surrendered to the fact that you have to put gas in your vehicle occasionally and I stopped at a local gas station to fill up.  Another individual, a young man, drives up to the pump on adjacent to the one I was using.  He nods his head as if to say hello.  I...
