Follow along as I read through the Bible in One Year and make a daily comment!
“All things came into being through Him, and apart from Him nothing came into being that has come into being.” John 1:3 As we begin with John’s Gospel today, just a quick note. “It” is unlike any of the other Gospels. It does contain some of the same stories and teachings as Matthew, Mark, and […]
“And He said, “Truly I say to you, this poor widow put in more than all of them;”” Luke 21:3 In the opening of Chapter 21, we’re introduced to this story where Jesus makes an observation; “And He looked up and saw the rich putting their gifts into the treasury”. Then we’re told, “He saw
“But the tax collector, standing some distance away, was even unwilling to lift up his eyes to heaven, but was beating his breast, saying, ‘God, be merciful to me, the sinner!’” Luke 18:13 This is one of my favorite stories in the Bible, and also, the 1st passage I ever preached on. In it, we

This is where I started today in Luke, where Jesus commissions the 12 to go throughout Israel, preaching and
“Why do you call Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ and do not do what I say?” Luke 6:46 As you read through the Gospels, one thing that strikes you is how similar, and yet different, the stories are that they contain. Some are very much alike, almost verbatim! Others, like this one, are in many ways different.
“And the crowds were questioning him, saying, “Then what shall we do?”” Luke 3:10 In Today’s Reading, John the Baptist begins his ministry. We’re told “the word of God came to John” and he was “preaching a baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sins”. As the Multitudes were “going out to be baptized by
“And an angel of the Lord appeared to him, standing to the right of the altar of incense.” Luke 1:11 So, Zacharias turn had come to serve in the Temple and his lot was drawn to burn incense that day. We’re not told how often he had done this, either prior to this occasion, or
“But go, tell His disciples and Peter,” Mark 16:7a We’re told on the day after the Sabbath “Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James, and Salome,” “came to the tomb” to anoint the body of Jesus. As they came, they saw that the Stone they were concerned about moving, had been rolled away for
