Our reading challenge for the day is Matthew chapters 21-25. I'll hit a few highlights. You make comments too and fill in the gaps. What strikes you as specially significant?
Matthew 21:1-22 Jesus comes into Jerusalem as a king, but not a conquering king. Consider how he is received and what his desires seem to be.
Matthew 21:23-22:33 Jesus, confronted by detractors, again begins to speak and act in parables. Pick a few of the parables and consider what Jesus' main thrust is with each one you pick. How are they received rightly by faith? How are they received by the people to whom Jesus is speaking?
Matthew 22:34-23:39 Jesus continues to push his detractors and their view of what God's priorities are. See Jesus' priority for his people very plainly revealed in 23:37-39.
Matthew 24:1-25:46 Consider the signs of the end of the world as well as what Jesus has revealed as his goals. How do these chapters bring comfort or discomfort?
