  • NOVEMBER 8, DAY 312

    In today’s reading of Tyndale’s OYCSB (with featured content written by the CBT team),

    • Signs and wonders continue to accompany the spread of the gospel. The Holy Spirit continues to create opportunities for believers to proclaim the gospel.

    • The Holy Spirit continues to fill the believers teaching them to be bold in the truth, discerning of lies, and joyous in the face of persecution.

        • The gospel writers record four of the six post-resurrection appearances of Jesus mentioned in Scripture.
        • Jesus patiently deals with His disciples' doubt and teaches them that the Kingdom of God exists in reality, not the realm of mysticism.
        • The cornerstone question for the world and remaining generations before Jesus’ return is, “Do you believe Jesus rose from the grave or not?”
        • The disciples are charged to spend the rest of their lives making disciples of all nations—helping others believe by faith and teaching believers to obey Jesus’ commands.
        • Indeed, Jesus is risen, and He will return to rule over the day of judgment.
        • The disciples must be restored after they deserted Jesus. They must know all the words of Scripture to shape their thinking. They will no longer see Jesus, but the Holy Spirit will baptize them. Now, they must believe, pray, know the Scriptures, and order their lives accordingly.

        • NOVEMBER 5, DAY 309

          • The gospel writers give their account of Jesus’ resurrection—the single event that completely changed the world!
          • The resurrection ensures to us that the Father accepted the Son’s sacrifice for the atonement of the sins of the world.
          • Paul would later say to the Athenians in Acts 17:30-31, “God overlooked people’s ignorance about these things in earlier times, but now he commands everyone everywhere to repent of their sins and turn to him. For he has set a day for judging the world with justice by the man he has appointed, and he proved to everyone who this is by raising him from the dead.”

            In today’s reading of Tyndale’s OYCSB (with featured content written by the CBT team),

            • The Messiah—the Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world—atones for the sins of all people by crucifixion.
            • Jesus reminds anyone with ears to hear that all of this is happening according to Scripture. He directs everyone's attention to Psalm 22. Jesus leaves no doubt for future generations that God has foreseen this event, communicated clearly about this event’s design, and accepts Jesus’ death as a substitutionary penalty payment for man’s rejection of Him.

And Jesus intercedes for them, ensuring God’s favor on them as they navigate the battle being waged in the unseen realm.
                    • AS JESUS PREPARES THIS FIRST-GENERATION CHURCH, HE IS ALSO PREPARING US!

                      • Jesus announces that it is now time for Him to return to His glory after Judas leaves the room. This launches a discussion about where Jesus is going and why the disciples cannot follow Him there yet.
                      • Because the disciples still do not understand exactly what is happening and their role in all of it, Jesus teaches them about what it means to love Him, what it means for Him to love them, and what it means for them to love each other.
