God has chosen to gather together weak people and entrust them with a foolish message in order to declare and demonstrate His wisdom and power.
This passage invites us into a deeper experience of our union with Christ and one another. As Christ shares his life abundantly with us we are invited to share our lives abundantly with one another - in our suffering and in our comfort.
In this passage, as the religious leaders sought to arrest Jesus, Jesus and his disciples gathered for a meal at the home of man named Simon. During this meal a woman anointed Jesus with very costly perfume. In response to the confusion and frustration of those at the feast, Jesus explains that this woman's act of love was more beautiful than even she understood. This passage reveals what Jesus considers beautiful and challenges us to expression our devotion simply out of love for him.
Jesus speaks to his disciples about the certainty of things to come both in their generation and throughout church history. He prophecies that the Temple would be destroyed within their lifetime and that the age of the church will be marked by tribulation, deception, and a worldwide witness to Jesus. Despite the perplexing nature of Jesus' teaching, this passage is not meant to fuel speculation but to bring comfort and equip us to live faithfully as engaged exiles in our generation.

In this section of Romans the Apostle Paul turns from describing the content of the Gospel (chapters 1-11) to urging the Christians in Rome to experience the Gospel in their lives. Instead of being shaped by the idolatrous culture around them, Paul calls them to a life of true worship. Ultimately this passage reveals that true worship is embodied devotion, driven by God's mercy and directed by God's Spirit.
In this passage Jesus observes a great contrast between those placing money into the offering boxes of the Temple treasury. The rich give large sums of money while a poor widow gives next to nothing. Jesus gathers his disciples and teaches them that in fact, “this poor widow has put in more than all”. Ultimately this passage challenges us to reflect on what our giving reveals about our heart's true devotion and what it means to love God with our whole lives.
In this passage the series of conflicts between Jesus and the religious leaders come to end as Jesus questions them. Quoting Psalm 110, Jesus asks the scribes to explain why King David would refer to the Messiah as his superior, if in fact the Messiah is David's own son. And while this paradox dazzled the crowd, this passage reveals not only Jesus' true identity but also the nature of the Bible.
In this passage a scribe approaches Jesus to question him about God's Law. This man was impressed with Jesus' response to the Sadducees and so asks, “which is the greatest commandment?” There is no malice or deceit in the scribe's tone, however, Jesus' responses still challenges him to reconsider his understanding of God's Law and wrestle with his own unbelief.
This is the fourth of six conflicts between Jesus and the religious leaders during the final week of his earthly ministry. Each of these conflicts center on the question of Jesus' authority. In this passage the Sadducees seek to discredit Jesus by debating him on the topic of “the resurrection”. Jesus' response reveals not only their spiritual blindness but also the Bible's full testimony to the resurrection of God's people.
