Today’s Reading

9/21/2019     Day 264 Mark 10:46 – 12:34

Reflection |

Today -

Jesus and the disciples heading into Jerusalem -
In Jericho - Jesus heals and blind man

Jesus parades into Jerusalem on a humble donkey
over against a Roman parade of troops and demonstrations
of earthly power.

Jesus teaching through actions - cleaning the Temple of Commerce;
This creates a plot for him to be killed by leaders; pray for anything
and if you will have faith it will happen; forgive all; authority? What
authority did John the Baptist have? We don’t know. I won’t tell you
Mine; a parable on evil tenants who killed the owner's people and then
even the Son; Meaning of the resurrection; Hear, O Israel, you should
love God and love your neighbor as yourself.

and rule our hearts; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives
and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God,
now and forever. Amen

Pray for those seeking God’s calling for their next
venture in life. May we give thanks for all God’s gifts and
Wonders that God give us continuously.
Amen.
