Happy New Year! The Daily Bibe returns and starts where we left off. Jesus begins to talk about church discipline and how to contront one in sin.

Jesus says that angels rejoice over someone who comes to repentance.

Angels watch over little ones and they have direct access to God. Jesus describes a shepherd who lost one sheep, and leaves the other 99 to find the lost.

Jesus tells the disciples that it is better to cut off your hand or pluck out your eye to sin. Jesus isn't telling us to mame ourselves, but he is underscoring the severity of sin. We must remove obstacles to have a fruitful relationship with Christ.

Anyone who causes a child to sin or lose faith is subject to horrible punishment.

Jesus tells the disciples that they should become like children. We must remain humble and sincere like a child, and not be childish.

Peter is confronted by the collectors of the temple tax. They asked if Jesus pays the tax. Peter asnwers in the affirmative, and upon arriving home Jesus asks Peter whom kings take their toll from.

Jesus predicts his passion a second time. The disciples are deeply grieved. They didn't understand the signifignce untile later on. Likewise, we shouldn't despair when we are slow to understand something about Jesus.

Jesus rebukes the disciples' lack of faith. He heals the epileptic boy. With God all things are possible.
