John 12:37-43 Let’s continue to pray for Jim and Marty. “Notice what you notice.” Continuing in John 12… There’s a lot to see in the last two verses for today: Nevertheless many even of the rulers believed in Him, but because of the Pharisees they were not confessing Him, for fear that they would be …

October 13 / John 12:27-36
John 12:27-36 Let’s continue to pray for Jim and Marty. “Notice what you notice.” Continuing in John 12… Now is My soul troubled. And what shall I say? ‘Father, save Me from this hour’? But for this purpose I have come to this hour. (v. 27) Jesus is still a day or two away from …
October 12 / John 12:20-26
John 12:20-26 Let’s continue to pray for Jim and Marty. “Notice what you notice.” Back to John’s Gospel… An item on the “primacy” of Andrew… I have commented before on Andrew being left behind at the Transfiguration, but then being included as one of the four who were speaking with Jesus at the Mount of …
October 11 / Luke 21:34-38
Luke 21:34-38 Let’s continue to pray for Jim and Marty. “Notice what you notice.” Luke offers some very different thoughts on these End Times than the other two Synoptic writers. He gives us, in my mind, a delightful reading today, for a couple of reasons… First, And early in the morning all the people came …
October 10 / Mark 13:32-37
Mark 13:32-37 Let’s continue to pray for Jim and Marty. “Notice what you notice.” Debbie mentioned a few days ago that Jesus was holding these “Last Days” discussions with his twelve apostles (or a few of them). I hadn’t thought about that until she mentioned it, but today’s last verse confirms that – And what …
October 9 / Matt. 25:31-46
Matthew 25:31-46 Let’s continue to pray for Jim and Marty. “Notice what you notice.” The Final Judgment… These details of the Final Judgment occur only in Matthew. Jesus leaves little doubt as to the existence of heaven and hell: Come, you who are blessed by My Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the …
October 8 / Matt. 25:14-30
Matthew 25:14-30 Let’s continue to pray for Jim and Marty. “Notice what you notice.” The talents… To one he gave five talents, to another two, to another one, to each according to his ability. (v. 15) Maybe I’ve noticed it before, maybe I haven’t – that he gave to his servants each according to his …
October 7 / Matt. 25:1-13
Matthew 25:1-13 Let’s continue to pray for Jim and Marty. “Notice what you notice.” An insignificant, but interesting item… Then all those virgins rose and trimmed their lamps. (v. 7) My Study Bible guided me in understanding this sentence. The ten virgins were going outside to meet the bridegroom, so they probably would have been …
October 6 / Matt. 24:45-51
Matthew 24:45-51 Let’s continue to pray for Jim and Marty. “Notice what you notice.” The faithful servant and the evil servant. So, is Jesus referring to specific people here? Mostly, that is, might He be thinking of the scribes and Pharisees as the evil servant? That thought came to me in today’s last verse where …
October 5 / Matt. 24:36-44
Matthew 24:36-44 Let’s continue to pray for Jim and Marty. “Notice what you notice.” But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, nor the Son, but the Father alone. (v. 36) That sentence left me a bit confused as to the Son’s time frame. Was Jesus referring to …
