Daily Devotional from Matthew 26--Verses 7-9A woman came up to him with an alabaster flask of very expensive ointment, and she poured it on his head as he reclined at table. And when the disciples saw it, they were indignant, saying, “Why this waste? For this could have been sold for a large sum and given to the poor.”An unnamed woman, perhaps someone just like you or me, came up to Jesus while he...  Read More

Daily Devotional from Matthew 25--Verse 40As you did it to one of the least of these my brothers, you did it to me. Jesus stands in solidarity with the down and outs. He has a special affinity with the needy. I find it interesting that he doesn’t come and personally fix the problem himself but waits for his representatives (the church) to do something about it. He wants the church to see them. He ...  Read More

Daily Devotional from Matthew 24--Verse 42Therefore, stay awake, for you do not know on what day your Lord is coming.When I was a young believer, I would read this verse and think, 'What, are we supposed to stay awake 24 hours a day???' No! Jesus is not speaking literally here; he is saying STAY AWAKE SPIRITUALLY.The enemy of our souls tries to sing us a song that will lull us to sleep spiritually...  Read More

Daily Devotional from Matthew 22--Verse 3[The King] sent his servants to summon those invited to the banquet, but they didn’t want to come.Getting an invitation to an important event is so exciting (and an incredible honor). In this parable, a King was throwing an extravagant wedding banquet and those invited didn’t want to come! Can you believe it?  Some had more important things to do. Some were...  Read More

Daily Devotional from Matthew 21--Verse 18In the morning, as he was returning to the city, he became hungry.Jesus was God and man! When we hear or read about Jesus, we often think of His Godly attributes - like His ability to heal disease, forgive sin, raise the dead, or love unconditionally. But the verse above reminds us that He was human as well. He got hungry! Jesus was conceived by the Holy S...  Read More

Daily Devotional from Matthew 20--Verse 15Do you begrudge my generosity? When somebody else – less deserving – gets blessed just as much as you, it’s a bit distasteful. We cry, “That’s not fair!” And you’re right. It’s not. And praise God it isn’t. Because if it was, we’d all be punished for eternity. Lost and without hope. That’s fair. So, we don’t want fair. We want grace. So, next time you’re t...  Read More

Daily Devotional from Matthew 19—Verse 21Jesus said to him, “If you would be perfect, go, sell what you possess and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow me.”Salvation is a freely given gift, but following Jesus requires that we die to our flesh. The Bible says, “the love of money is a root of all kinds of evils.” One thing we must die to is the love of money, wh...  Read More

Daily Devotional from Matthew 17--Verse 7Jesus came up, touched them, and said, ‘Get up; don’t be afraid.’It seems that fear is at the forefront of everything these days. We’re all afraid of so many things in our world today, and it seems as if we learn that there is something new to be feared every day. It breeds so many other issues like anxiety and discontentment. Jesus says: Don’t be afraid. T...  Read More
