Instructions

These are short devotional thoughts to accompany a daily Bible reading. The readings are arranged for a chronological reading of the scriptures. I am reading the Today's New International Version. However, it should work with any version. It is my prayer that it will encourage reading of God's word, and inculcating the teachings into daily living. May His richest blessings be with you!

November 15



Matthew 28
Mark 16
When Jesus was resurrected, the Jews devised a plan, involving a lie, to discredit His resurrection.  This sort of thing has continued on throughout the ages.  Many have come up with all sorts of ways to explain away the Lord.  My stepfather was an alcoholic and an atheist.  He spent hours pouring over the Bible, studying so as to discredit it.  He looked for contradictions, and came up with farcical explanations for different miraculous events.  However, as he lay in the hospital, dying with cirrhosis of the liver, he gave up on his life quest to disprove the existence of God.  Instead, he decided that he wanted to believe in one who could overcome death, offering eternal life to all who believe.  How about you?  Are you looking to discredit the Lord, or are you placing your faith in Him?
