Daily Bible Reading — Sustained By God’s Word Of Hope

DAY 12 OF 30

  

April 12

Introduction

Jesus speaks with a rich man who asks him what he must do to receive eternal life. The reading concludes with Jesus speaking for a third time about his death. As he continues his journey to Jerusalem with his disciples, he heals a blind beggar.

Today’s Scripture: Luke 18:31b (GNT)

[Jesus said to his disciples:] “We are going to Jerusalem where everything the prophets wrote about the Son of Man will come true.” 

Today’s Reading 

Luke 18:18-43

Reflect

How does Jesus respond to the rich man who asks Jesus what he must do to receive eternal life? What is the rich man’s reaction? What does this story teach about the accumulation of wealth and possessions? How would you compare the story of the rich man with Jesus’s teaching on discipleship that we read on April 4 (Luke 14:25-33)? Why did the people tell the blind man to be quiet (verse 39)? What did the blind man ask of Jesus? What is the role of faith in this story?

Pray

Lord God, whenever I feel as if I don’t have as much as I need or as much as I want, remind me of your abundant blessings and to share my resources freely and lovingly as an expression of my trust and faith in you. Amen.

Prayer Concern

Those who are struggling financially

Tomorrow’s Reading
