Week 75 Day 1: Jesus Is Messiah ⇧ ⇩
Question
How did Jesus reveal His identity?
Scripture Reading
Meditation: God’s Story
-
In Caesarea Philippi, Peter said to Jesus “You are the Messiah.” Jesus predicted His death and resurrection for the first time.
-
The price to pay for being a disciple is to deny themselves and take up their crosses and follow Jesus.
-
Jesus went up to a high mountain and transfigured. He stood with Moses and Elijah.
-
Disciples couldn’t drive out the demon from a possessed boy revealed the unbelieving generation.
Meditation: My Story
-
Identity - Peter’s spiritual life seemed to have fallen to bottom of the valley when Jesus predicted his denials compared to the time he proclaimed Him as the Messiah. Is my spiritual life high on the peak of the mount or in the bottom of the valley? Am I following God’s will or my own desires?
-
Identity - Jesus taught us to deny ourselves and take up our crosses to follow Him as the only way to receive true life. That is, we need to give up ourselves to gain ourselves. What do I need to give up today? What have I received already?
Prayer

Week 75 Day 2: The Heavenly Treasure ⇧ ⇩
Question
What were the important events on the way to Jerusalem?
Scripture Reading
Meditation: God’s Story
-
Jesus again predicted His own death and resurrection.
-
Disciples argued amongst themselves who would be the greatest. Jesus talked about the attitude needed of the disciples.
-
Jesus predicted His own death and resurrection the third time.
Meditation: My Story
-
Identity - Jesus taught disciples, anyone who wants to be first must be the very last, and the servant of all. This is a total opposite from the world’s view of success and status. Am I willing to accept this teaching? Can I do it? What is the biggest challenge?
-
Community - When Jesus talked about marriage, He said: “What God has joined together, let no one separate.” How do I understand this teaching? Do I stand behind the vow I took, view my marriage as a vessel in our sanctification, and grow together spiritually with my other half through love?
Prayer

Week 75 Day 3: Came on Donkey ⇧ ⇩
Question
How did Jesus enter Jerusalem?
Scripture Reading
Meditation: God’s Story
-
Jesus entered Jerusalem gloriously and drove out those traders who desecrated the temple.
-
The sandwich-structured writing indicates the connection between the curse of fig tree and clearing of the temple courts which might be viewed as Jesus’ prediction of the temple and Israel.
Meditation: My Story
-
Identity - Jesus said it would be ours whatever we ask for in prayer and believe that we have received (11:24.) Do I understand the relationship between my faith and identity? Do I understand why faith can move mountain?
-
Integrity - Instead of worshiping, the temple was being used by thieves as hiding place of their evil acts. Our bodies as God’s temple may also be desecrated by our sinning nature. Do I have any thoughts or behaviors need to be cleansed by the Holy Spirit?
Prayer
Notes and Responses
Week 75 Day 4: Debate in Temple ⇧ ⇩
Question
What did Jesus debate with the priests, teachers of the law and elders in the temple?
Scripture Reading
Meditation: God’s Story
-
In the temple, Jesus taught about His authority and Israel’s rebellion, paying tax, marriage at resurrection.
-
The commandment on “love God, love others” and hypocrisy of the teachers of the law.
Meditation: My Story
-
Identity - We are citizens of some country and, more importantly, we are people of the Heavenly Kingdom. From the question on paying tax to Caesar, how do I understand my double identity? Do I often remember my identity in the Heavenly Kingdom?
-
Fidelity - The commandment “love God, love others” contrasts greatly with the hypocrisy of the teachers of the law. Let me reflect on my service to the Lord. Is it based on my love of God and others or is it based on my desire for self-glorification?
Prayer
Notes and Responses
Week 75 Day 5: The End Signs ⇧ ⇩
Question
What was Jesus’ teaching about the End of Times?
Scripture Reading
Meditation: God’s Story
-
The poor widow’s offering reveals how God sees offerings.
-
Jesus taught the signs of the End of Times and the need to be alert.
Meditation: My Story
-
Identity - The widow was poor but offered willingly. How do I view money? Do I offer willingly or with reservations?
-
Integrity - No one knows when Jesus will come again. Am I always being alert and will answer to the Lord honestly or do I live a life in deceit and hope that I’ll not get caught?
Prayer
Notes and Responses
Week 75 Day 6: Betrayal of Jesus ⇧ ⇮
Question
What were the events through Jesus’ betrayal and arrest?
Scripture Reading
Meditation: God’s Story
-
An alabaster jar of expensive perfume made of nard was poured over Jesus’ head to prepare for His death.
-
Passover supper and Gethsemane prayer.
-
Jesus’ arrest and trial as well as being disowned by Peter three times.
Meditation: My Story
-
Identity - The woman who poured the expensive perfume over Jesus’ head knew His identity and treasured Him. Do I also treasure Jesus and willingly offer my all?
-
Integrity - Peter was full of confidence that he would never disown Jesus and yet did it three times. Do I rely all my actions on my own confidence or on faith in God? Let me pray and ask the Holy Spirit to remind me of my fleshly weakness and help me to win over it.
