Mark 1:1-8

Jesus Christ the Son of God

Malachi, Isaiah, and John the Baptist

John, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit

Psalm 60

[1] O God, you have rejected us, broken our defenses;

you have been angry; oh, restore us.

[2] You have made the land to quake; you have torn it open;

repair its breaches, for it totters.

[3] You have made your people see hard things;

you have given us wine to drink that made us stagger.

[4] You have set up a banner for those who fear you,

that they may flee to it from the bow. Selah

[5] That your beloved ones may be delivered,

give salvation by your right hand and answer us!

[6] God has spoken in his holiness:

“With exultation I will divide up Shechem

and portion out the Vale of Succoth.

[7] Gilead is mine; Manasseh is mine;

Ephraim is my helmet;

Judah is my scepter.

[8] Moab is my washbasin;

upon Edom I cast my shoe;

over Philistia I shout in triumph.”

[9] Who will bring me to the fortified city?

Who will lead me to Edom?

[10] Have you not rejected us, O God?

You do not go forth, O God, with our armies.

[11] Oh, grant us help against the foe,

for vain is the salvation of man!

[12] With God we shall do valiantly;

it is he who will tread down our foes.

Meditating on the Scriptures Together

1 Chronicles 29

David and the people offered willingly

Jesus gave Himself willingly and lives forever

John 21:20-25

[20] Peter turned and saw the disciple whom Jesus loved following them, the one who also had leaned back against him during the supper and had said, “Lord, who is it that is going to betray you?” [21] When Peter saw him, he said to Jesus, “Lord, what about this man?” [22] Jesus said to him, “If it is my will that he remain until I come, what is that to you? You follow me!” [23] So the saying spread abroad among the brothers that this disciple was not to die; yet Jesus did not say to him that he was not to die, but, “If it is my will that he remain until I come, what is that to you?” [24] This is the disciple who is bearing witness about these things, and who has written these things, and we know that his testimony is true. [25] Now there are also many other things that Jesus did. Were every one of them to be written, I suppose that the world itself could not contain the books that would be written.

Meditating on the Scriptures Together

Numbers 6:22-27

[22] The LORD spoke to Moses, saying, [23] “Speak to Aaron and his sons, saying, Thus you shall bless the people of Israel: you shall say to them,

[24] The LORD bless you and keep you;

[25] the LORD make his face to shine upon you and be gracious to you;

[26] the LORD lift up his countenance upon you and give you peace.

[27] So shall they put my name upon the people of Israel, and I will bless them.”

John 21:15-19

[15] When they had finished breakfast, Jesus said to Simon Peter, “Simon, son of John, do you love me more than these?” He said to him, “Yes, Lord; you know that I love you.” He said to him, “Feed my lambs.” [16] He said to him a second time, “Simon, son of John, do you love me?” He said to him, “Yes, Lord; you know that I love you.” He said to him, “Tend my sheep.” [17] He said to him the third time, “Simon, son of John, do you love me?” Peter was grieved because he said to him the third time, “Do you love me?” and he said to him, “Lord, you know everything; you know that I love you.” Jesus said to him, “Feed my sheep. [18] Truly, truly, I say to you, when you were young, you used to dress yourself and walk wherever you wanted, but when you are old, you will stretch out your hands, and another will dress you and carry you where you do not want to go.” [19] (This he said to show by what kind of death he was to glorify God.) And after saying this he said to him, “Follow me.”

Meditating on the Scriptures Together

1 Chronicles 28

David's Word to the Leaders

David's Word to His Son

The Failure of Men and the Victory of the Almighty

John 21:1-14

[1] After this Jesus revealed himself again to the disciples by the Sea of Tiberias, and he revealed himself in this way. [2] Simon Peter, Thomas (called the Twin), Nathanael of Cana in Galilee, the sons of Zebedee, and two others of his disciples were together. [3] Simon Peter said to them, “I am going fishing.” They said to him, “We will go with you.” They went out and got into the boat, but that night they caught nothing.

[4] Just as day was breaking, Jesus stood on the shore; yet the disciples did not know that it was Jesus. [5] Jesus said to them, “Children, do you have any fish?” They answered him, “No.” [6] He said to them, “Cast the net on the right side of the boat, and you will find some.” So they cast it, and now they were not able to haul it in, because of the quantity of fish. [7] That disciple whom Jesus loved therefore said to Peter, “It is the Lord!” When Simon Peter heard that it was the Lord, he put on his outer garment, for he was stripped for work, and threw himself into the sea. [8] The other disciples came in the boat, dragging the net full of fish, for they were not far from the land, but about a hundred yards off.

[9] When they got out on land, they saw a charcoal fire in place, with fish laid out on it, and bread. [10] Jesus said to them, “Bring some of the fish that you have just caught.” [11] So Simon Peter went aboard and hauled the net ashore, full of large fish, 153 of them. And although there were so many, the net was not torn. [12] Jesus said to them, “Come and have breakfast.” Now none of the disciples dared ask him, “Who are you?” They knew it was the Lord. [13] Jesus came and took the bread and gave it to them, and so with the fish. [14] This was now the third time that Jesus was revealed to the disciples after he was raised from the dead.
