Weekly Scripture 2-1-2026

Answer:

This comes from Hebrews

__:__Let us therefore fear, lest, a promise being left us of entering into his rest, any of you should seem to come short of it.

*Do you tend to be the type of a person who rushes around a lot trying to get as much done as you possibly can, and then you realize while occupied with the things you had just accomplished more things are waiting on your attention? The verse above is not about passivity, but it is about a Sabbath of the soul. It is a spiritual rest that comes from trust and dependence upon the Lord. God doesn't want us running around trying to accomplish things on our own, He wants us to rest in His strength, and allow Him to be our source of strength. As Christians we are called to walk daily with the assurance that our Lord is more than sufficient to supply every one of our needs. Think about it for a little bit, if you are resting how can you be worrying at the same time? It is not possible to do that. Now, if you believe that God supplies all of our needs, isn't time to accomplish the task that He sends us to do also something that we need? He can supply that too, but we have to allow Him to do it and set our priorities and our attitudes toward the work.  

Weekly Scripture 1-25-2026

Answer: Mark 11:29

This comes from Mark, but what chapter and verse?

__:__And Jesus answered and said unto them, I will also ask of you one question, and answer me, and I will tell you by what authority I do these things.

*When you find this verse read verses 27-33 in this chapter. The religious rulers of that day were raising a question of the authority of Jesus. These religious rulers were the officials and they were actually challenging Jesus, because they felt that they had the authority and they were not wanting to let go of it. They wanted to destroy Jesus because He was upsetting to their religious system. Their motive was not pure at all, and they had an agenda. Their question before this verse was one that was crafted out of pure pride and arrogance. They had no intention of following His teaching even if He had told them where His authority came from and besides it was already evident where His authority came from by other teaching that Jesus had given. To me this is one of the great proofs of the deity of Jesus and it was displayed by the way He handled His enemies. I think it is also worth noting here and remembering this important fact: when men and women came to our Lord Jesus with sincere questions as people that were sincere about knowing the truth, they received sincere and genuine answers to those questions. This is yet another evidence of how God despises a prideful and arrogant heart. If you come to God with a question you'll have to do that with a sincere heart and not some preconceived notion.
