Mark 16:12-13 Let’s continue to pray for Jim and Marty. “Notice what you notice.” Really, Fred, only two verses today…? Well, that was the Chronological Bible breakdown.

December 20 / John 20:14-18
John 20:14-18 Let’s continue to pray for Jim and Marty. “Notice what you notice.” Jesus said to her, “Do not cling to Me, for I have not yet ascended to the Father… (v. 17a) To me, this is a strange remark from Jesus, in so many ways. First, Mary does not recognize Jesus when she …
December 19 / Mark 16:9-11
Mark 16:9-11 Let’s continue to pray for Jim and Marty. “Notice what you notice.” Yes, I can understand that a physical, bodily resurrection could be hard to believe.

December 18 / Matt. 28:9-15
Matthew 28:9-15 Let’s continue to pray for Jim and Marty. “Notice what you notice.” Only Matthew reports that the Jewish leaders asked Pilate for a guard on the tomb, and only Matthew reports that the Jewish leaders bribed the guards to say that the body had been stolen while they were sleeping. So I wonder …
December 17 / John 20:1-13
John 20:1-13 Let’s continue to pray for Jim and Marty. “Notice what you notice.” John points out that the grave cloths were neatly folded (vv. 6-7).

December 15 / Mark 16:1-8
Mark 16:1-8 Let’s continue to pray for Jim and Marty. “Notice what you notice.” Again, the women: And they went out and fled from the tomb, for trembling and astonishment had seized them, and they said nothing to anyone, for they were afraid. (v. 8) The first thing the “man” said to them was “Do …
December 14 / Matt. 28:1-8
Matthew 28:1-8 Let’s continue to pray for Jim and Marty. “Notice what you notice.” After 32 days of Jesus’ Passion, we now have 18 days of His Resurrection! Glory!! “…He is going before you to Galilee; there you will see Him. (v. 7b) I’ve always been confused by this announcement from the angel that Jesus …
December 13 / John 19:38-42
John 19:38-42 Let’s continue to pray for Jim and Marty. “Notice what you notice.” Today we close out Jesus’ “Passion” with John’s account of Jesus’ burial. Today marks 32 days from the time that we first read about Jesus’ going to the Garden of Gethsemane until the last account of Jesus’ burial. In most of …
December 12 / Luke 23:50-56
Luke 23:50-56 Let’s continue to pray for Jim and Marty. “Notice what you notice.” The women who had come with Him from Galilee followed and saw the tomb and how His body was laid. Then they returned and prepared spices and ointments. On the Sabbath they rested according to the commandment. (vv. 55-56) Today, a …
