Day 317: The Day Herod and Pilate Made Peace (Luke 23:12)
Herod and Pilate were enemies—until the day Jesus stood trial. What brought these two rulers together? History offers some intriguing possibilities, but the greatest irony is what their unlikely friendship reveals about the peace Jesus came to make.

Day 317: Jesus or Barabbas? (John 18:40)
Pilate offered Israel a choice between two sons: Barabbas, the violent son of a human father, and Jesus, the suffering Son of the Heavenly Father. The crowd chose Barabbas—and we’ve been choosing him ever since.

Day 316: Zombie Saints (Matthew 27:51-53)
There’s a bizarre detail, unique to Matthew, tucked away in Chapter 27: When Jesus died, people literally rose from the dead. After the resurrection, they went into Jerusalem. What were they doing all weekend? And what took them so long to leave the graveyard?
-
Day 315: The Long Goodbye (John 14:31)
At the end of John 14, Jesus says, “Rise, let us go from here.” But then He keeps talking—for three more chapters! Like a preacher who can’t quite stop, or a friend who lingers at the door, Jesus just can’t stop pouring out His heart.
-
Day 314: He Stoops, He Serves (John 13:1-18)
Jesus knew the Father had given all things into His hands. With a full menu of divine options, He picked up a towel. True humility isn’t denying greatness—it’s defining it differently.
-
Day 312: Does the Parable of the Sheep and the Goats Teach Works-Righteousness? (Matthew 25:31-46)
When Keith Green thundered, “The only difference between the sheep and the goats is what they did and didn’t do,” he captured the urgency of Jesus’ words in Matthew 25. But was Jesus really teaching salvation by works? This parable doesn’t show how we earn salvation—it shows what saving grace inevitably produces.
-
Day 311: The Faithful and Wise Steward (Matthew 24:45-46)
What if Jesus returned today? Would He find us watching the skies—or faithfully doing the work He gave us? In Matthew 24, Jesus reminds us that being ready for His return isn’t about predicting the future. It’s about being faithful in the present.

Day 308: Feast (A Poem Based on Matthew 22:1-14)
On the surface, the parable of the wedding feast takes a dark turn at the end. But don’t miss the point. This is a story about grace.
-
Day 307: Sir, We Would See Jesus (John 12:20-21)
When some Greeks approached the disciples with a simple request—“Sir, we wish to see Jesus”—they found their way to two men who were always introducing others to the Savior. Andrew and Philip didn’t just know Jesus; they made Him known. This reflection invites us to carry that same calling into our own world.

Through the Bible: Luke 18

Day 302: The Other Time Jesus Got Mad (John 11)
Most people remember Jesus cleansing the temple as the one time He got angry. But in John 11, Jesus’ anger burns again—this time, not against people, but against death itself. When He stood at Lazarus’s tomb, He “snorted with anger,” confronting the Great Interrupter that had marred His Father’s perfect design.

Day 301: What We Learn From Not Understanding (Luke 16:1-10)
The Parable of the Dishonest Manager might be the most confusing story Jesus ever told. After studying, praying, and still not fully understanding, I realized something freeing: faith doesn’t depend on comprehension. Obedience does.
