Matthew 22:45
Perhaps there were those among the Jewish leadership that were influenced later by this question. Though they remained silent at this time, being unable to answer such straightforward question would enrage the ill-willed among them and convict the more thoughtful of them. Beyond this, the question flies in the face of many today who would seek to understand or explain the nature of Christ without the biblical doctrines of the Trinity, the incarnation, the atonement and resurrection, and other such fundamental truths.
Bible Reading: Ruth 2:1-1 Samuel 1:28
Scripture Memory: James 2:8 “If ye fulfill the royal law according to the scripture, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself, ye do well:”
Prayer: Heavenly Father, You are praised by people all over this globe, and yet You are worthy of so much more. If every tongue were moved in praise to You all day long for a thousand years it would still be only a tribute to Your greatness. So much more would still be your right. Indeed, the eternity of our eternity is not enough to fully thank and praise You for all that You are and all that you do. We say You are ‘awesome’ as if that somehow fits. No word fits. All the words we have are but feeble attempts to recognize the greatness that You are. Your infinitude is beyond our highest hopes, and more amazing than our wildest dreams. Oh may we get a sense of You Father! May we in our hearts today get a real picture of Who You are! Then we would never fail to worship you with all of our days. In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ I pray and praise You, Amen.
Prayer Requests: Pray for a baby with heart problems. Pray for a young man with chronic migraines. Pray for two men who just lost their fathers.
