Today's reading will cover the Books of John Chapter 11:18-54, Matthew Chapter 19:13-30, Mark Chapter 10:13-27, and Luke Chapter 18:15-27.

Today we will read about and ask the questions: do we believe that Jesus holds the power of coming alive again, eternal life, and that He is the Son of God. Who did Jesus die for? Why was it good for Him to die? And we will also talk some more about why we need to make Jesus and God the most important ones in our life. We will learn about the answers to these questions through the account of Jesus bringing Lazarus to physical life again and the resulting prophesy by the high priest that it would be better for one man to die for everyone than for everyone in the nation to die. As always, there was greater depth to this prophecy than he, or anyone else there, could have imagined. Jesus did in fact die (and he rose again) in order for ALL people to have the opportunity to be God's children! How about you? Do YOU believe?

In our discussion for daily application we will continue to talk about the big picture of how all of what we are learning is coming into focus for the big plan for our lives. If we believe that Jesus does hold the key to eternal life and believe that God sent Him then we, as His disciples (students), need to obey and DO what He is teaching us. We need to make Him and God the most important ones in our lives. This means using the resources that God has given us to help further the Kingdom of God rather than spending on whatever we might like for our physical life. God promises that if we give up things and even relationships for our physical life to follow Jesus then we will be rewarded with much greater treasure in Heaven! Our focus in life should be on telling other people about the Good News of God's Kingdom (that the Kingdom of Heaven exists within us and that we are given the Holy Spirit when we believe), as well as being a witness of what God has done in our lives. We are to share with other people how we are learning to apply Jesus' teaching to our daily lives and what God is doing with that daily application- how it is changing our lives. Encouraging others to believe in and follow Jesus by becoming His disciples will fulfill the command to "go and make disciples of all nations." Jesus tells us that if we are truly His disciples we will do as He is teaching us. LET'S DO THIS!!
