Daily Bible Reading – April 2020 God’s Life-Giving Word Of HopeSýnishorn
April 6
Introduction
The religious leaders question Jesus’s authority, and Jesus tells two stories (parables) that teach who will enter the Kingdom of God.
Today’s Scripture: Matthew 21:42b
[Jesus said:] ‘The stone which the builders rejected as worthless turned out to be the most important of all.’
Today’s Reading
Matthew 21:23-46
Reflect
Jesus says that the Kingdom of God will be “given to a people who will produce the proper fruits” (verse 43). How do you interpret this passage? Who is the “owner’s son” referred to in the second story (verse 38)? Why do you think Jesus told these two stories to the religious leaders?
Pray
Lord Jesus, teach me to follow your ways and to produce the proper fruits that will usher in your Kingdom. In your holy name, I pray. Amen.
Prayer Concern
Those facing difficulties at work
Tomorrow’s Reading
Matthew 26:1-35: Jesus eats the Passover meal with his disciples.
