Mark 2:19
The Pharisees should remember John the Baptist calling Jesus the bridegroom. If these men had believed in Christ as the Messiah, this question would not have been asked. Note how Jesus says this, ‘they cannot’ fast. It would be wrong for them to do so at the time because fasting shows our patience and devotion in spite of our position as strangers and pilgrims in this world.
Bible Reading: John 12:1-13:38
Scripture Memory: James 5:17 “Elias was a man subject to like passions as we are, and he prayed earnestly that it might not rain: and it rained not on the earth by the space of three years and six months.”
Prayer: Heavenly Father, no matter what it takes to know you, it is worth it. You cannot be compared to anyone. You are beyond my fondest imaginations of you. Were it not for your Holy Word I could never conceive of the Great and Wonderful Person that you are. You are the Almighty God of all. And, you have made it possible for me to know you. All that I might ever have or need can be found in you. What a wonder is this relationship! For man to know God, that is a mystery! But, it is a fact that is possible by the blood of Christ. Thank you, Father! In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ I pray and praise you, Amen.
Prayer Requests: Pray for our missionaries. Pray for a woman having a spinal tap done. Pray for a man recovering from several surgeries.
