Matthew 21:25
The reasoning of the Jewish authorities upon this question reveals much. Rather than really understanding the question, or considering their answer on the basis of truth, they considered and understood only the implications of their answer for the present situation. This tells us that they had no concept of what the answer actually was. This is why Jesus gives them the two options. Ultimately, had he not given them options, their answer would have been the same. But, that he could give them the right answer, and the very opposite of it, and they would still have no more chance of arriving at the truth, was a condemnation of them.
Bible Reading: Genesis 38:1-40:23
Scripture Memory: James 1:12 “Blessed is the man that endureth temptation: for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord hath promised to them that love him.”
Prayer: Heavenly Father, You are so glorious in Your holiness! You are the Light. You have brought Light into the world through Christ. Jesus is the Link to You. He is our Key to all the glories of heaven, but also to all that You are. We may, by Him, know You in all Your fullness. Father, Son and Spirit, three in one, You are Holy, Holy, Holy. Thank You for Your work in our lives. That You care for us is an amazing thought. How could we ask for more? You love like none else. Your love is not selfish, it is perfect. Thank You for Christ! He is the joy of our hearts, and the light of our life. Only in Him may we have peace. May all glory be to Jesus! In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ I pray and praise You, Amen.
