Biblical Breadcrumbs

Jesus is betrayed, by every friend around Him. No-one helps; everyone leaves.

Jesus heads out to the Mount of Olives, just in time to correct the disciples' false, prideful promises.

Will the disciples understand what's coming? Do they see it? No. Jesus makes it clearer to them... but in their ignorance and malice, we see His mercy even further.

A woman blesses Jesus, but the disciples fight against it. Why do they react in this way? And why can they not see the true work they have to do?

Jesus and the Pharisees: similarities? Differences? We see the two contrasted here, and it should point us to think about ourselves...

The finale of Jesus' last sermon in the book, He wraps up His thoughts by focusing on what they mean for us: that we should take our learning and go out to help others.

The parable of the Talents! Familiar, at least from how often I've heard it, but it's still worth diving into. What's the real problem that Jesus is addressing?

This story really sums up the whole of Matthew 24. Jesus knew what He was doing: this simple teaching establishes some quality, eternal truths.

Hear the conclusion of the whole matter: obey God now, don't wait. Matthew 24 isn't actually that complicated, it's a simple proposition. Be God's now and, whenever the end does come, you'll be set. Hopefully this is a good cap on the entirety of this confusing chapter, as we're looking forward to the next one!

No episode today, I've been sick.
