Psalms: 58, 67 Meditation Luke: This is the Easter season and yet this passage brings us back to Jesus’ baptism. Why? We sinners need constant reminders of how much God loved his Son. Here he declares “You are my Son, whom I love; with you I am well pleased. (v. 22) Here also is a …

Psalm: 33 Meditation Ephesians: “You must no longer live as the Gentiles live…” (v. 17) Gentiles were regarded as “sinners” always. Israelites, on the other hand, are God’s people. Black and white, as it were. Habitual Bible reading (study) will serve us by lightening our understanding and softening our hearts. This Bible reading is intended …

Psalm: 147 Meditation Luke: How easily our eyes are closed to ourselves as Jesus said in the “Sermon on the Mount”: clear out your own eye before judging someone else.

Psalms: 119:25-48 Meditation Mark: This is the calling of Levi whom we know as Matthew. Levi was a tax collector regarded by self-respecting Jews as akin to a traitor or collaborator with Rome. Mark, though, distinguished tax collectors from “sinners”. Later in this reading Jesus talks about applying a new patch on an old garment …

Psalm: 78:1-39 Meditation James: Most people, at this time (in Jeru-salem) were either agrarian, fishermen, or merchants. The “first fruits” James speaks of are the very early believers who were a promise of a greater harvest yet to come. The birth spoken of in v. 18 is the one “born of the Spirit” the regeneration …
