VerseD: John 20:15-16

Jesus said to her, “Woman, why are you weeping? Whom are you seeking?” Supposing him to be the gardener, she said to him, “Sir, if you have carried him away, tell me where you have laid him, and I will take him away.” Jesus said to her, “Mary.” She turned and said to him in Aramaic, “Rabboni!” (which means Teacher).

John 20:15‭-‬16, ESV

Circumstances in life can make us miss the truth right in front of our own faces.

Don’t let grief, self-righteousness, pain, or good things blind you to the crucified and risen Christ who calls us by name.

VerseD: Matthew 27:63-64

and said, “Sir, we remember how that impostor said, while he was still alive, ‘After three days I will rise.’ Therefore order the tomb to be made secure until the third day, lest his disciples go and steal him away and tell the people, ‘He has risen from the dead,’ and the last fraud will be worse than the first.”

Matthew 27:63‭-‬64, ESV

We like to think we can outsmart God, even when we know the truth, but God is beyond our ways and understanding.

His plans cannot be stopped. It’s better to join Him.

VerseD: Matthew 26:51-52

And behold, one of those who were with Jesus stretched out his hand and drew his sword and struck the servant of the high priest and cut off his ear. Then Jesus said to him, “Put your sword back into its place. For all who take the sword will perish by the sword.

Matthew 26:51‭-‬52, ESV

We have a tendency to want to protect Jesus, but He is the one who came to save us.

We may make a defense of the Word, but The Word died for us knowing He would come back.

VerseD: Matthew 22:21

They said, “Caesar’s.” Then he said to them, “Therefore render to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s, and to God the things that are God’s.”

Matthew 22:21, ESV

We like to handle things ourselves, using government and special programs (none of them necessarily bad) to manage everything, when we should be loving God by loving people.

Seek God and love people.

VerseD: Matthew 21:27

And they answered Jesus and said, “We do not know.” He also said to them, “Neither will I tell you by what authority I do these things.”

Matthew 21:27, LSB

We like to think we have great understanding, but if we deny the clear evidence or meaning of Scripture, Christ won’t bend to our understandings. We must conform to His truth.

And seeing a fig tree by the wayside, he went to it and found nothing on it but only leaves. And he said to it, “May no fruit ever come from you again!” And the fig tree withered at once.

Matthew 21:19, ESV

We might try to be trendy for the season or on the right side of history, but we are called to obey Christ above our own desires and societal expectations.

VerseD: Matthew 21:13

He said to them, “It is written, ‘My house shall be called a house of prayer,’ but you make it a den of robbers.”

Matthew 21:13, ESV

We like to think we are dedicating things to God, but are we merely bringing our own will into our walk?

Let us first dedicate our lives to God and the rest will follow.

VerseD: John 3:16

“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.”

John 3:16, ESV

We like to think we are basically good or can earn a place in heaven, but it is only by faith in the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus that we get there.

VerseD: Matthew 20:28

“even as the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.“

Matthew 20:28, ESV

We tend toward selfishness, but God has given us the example of sacrificial love and servant-hood towards each other and (as well as for) God.

VerseD: Psalm 23:4

Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me.

Psalm 23:4, ESV

It is because of sin – individually and collectively – that we face hard times. Our God has given us His peace and a firm hope to endure and overcome through the cross of Christ.
