On the first day of Unleavened Bread, when the Passover lamb was being sacrificed, His disciples said to Him, "Where do You want us to go and prepare for You to eat the Passover?"  Mark 14:21

This event at this time in history has three names.  Certainly it was the Passover Supper remembering their freedom from Egypt.  It was also the Last Supper, for it was the last Passover feast of the Old Covenant. Finally it was the Lord's Supper, as Jesus set the elements to remember His death that would take place the next day.  From then on, the Lord's Supper would only include the Unleavened Bread and Fruit of the Vine, for the body and blood of Jesus.  No more Passover Lamb because Jesus is our Lamb.  May we take it in remembrance of Him.

The Pharisee stood and was praying this to himself: God, I thank You that I am not like other people: swindlers, unjust, adulterers, or even like this tax collector. I fast twice a week; I pay tithes of all that I get.  Luke 18:11-12

A humble tax collector was standing there close enough to hear this Pharisee.   He could have prayed, "Lord, I thank You that I am not like that guy." Instead he humbly asked for God's mercy.  Perhaps OUR first thought it to criticize and run down the Pharisee for his lousy attitude. When we do, we may become just like that Pharisee.  Surprise!  His shortcoming is also OUR shortcoming.  Let's be careful when we criticize,  We run the risk of becoming just like them.  Better we should turn to God, and say, "Be merciful to me, a sinner

For I delivered to you as of first important what I also received, that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, and that He was buried, and that He was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures.  I Corinthians 15:3-4 

This is the gospel, the good news by which we are saved.  There is nothing more important, and we need to make sure it is first in all our lives everyday.  On resurrection Sunday this good news is in the forefront of our lives, but it has a way of slipping away for the rest of the year.  When someone asks, "what the most important thing in the Bible?"  Here you go!

Simon answered and said, "Master, we worked hard all night and caught nothing, but I will do as  You say, and let down the nets."  Luke 5:5 

As Jesus was about to call Simon Peter to be His Apostle, this powerful message in the sea would change him.  Follow the advice of Jesus, his nets and boats were filled and overflowing with fish.  Peter suddenly realized the power of Jesus and how He could accomplished anything. Peter was humbled by this event and Jesus told him he would be catching men from now on.  When the power of Jesus becomes real in our lives, we also will be willing to follow Him.  We too can become fishers of men when we follow Jesus.

Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God?  I Corinthians 6:9

Many people hold the view that people are basically good, and that a loving God would never punish anyone.  Neither of those are true.  Men by nature are sinful and rebellious.  God by nature always rewards the righteous and punishes the wicked. Let's not live on with the guidance of people who "know not, and know not that they know not."  Let's trust in the Lord and let Him lead us to righteousness and our inheritance.

Every word of God is tested; He is a shield to those who take refuge in Him.  Proverbs 30:5-6

We are encouraged to put on the whole armor of God to stand against the schemes of the devil.  The armor that is described in Ephesians has been long tested and approved.  That shield of faith is perfected by the amount of time we spend in God's Word.  Let's find refuge in the shield given by God.  Don't leave home without it.
