April 15 (Wednesday) -- Quicker Than Lightning

One…Two…Israel Conquered You: Joshua 11:1-12:24

Jesus Will Come Back Like a Flash of Lightning: Luke 17:11-37

The Lord God Is a Sun and Shield: Psalm 84:1-12

The righteous hate what is false: Proverbs 13:5-6


Yeah. I’m a slacker. I got a day behind on the Bible blog. :)

And Jesus’ teaching for Wednesday is pretty intense. The first part of today’s passage from Luke sounds really nice. You don’t have to be a Jew to love the Lord. Jesus, the Son of God, took note that it was the Samaritan who came back to thank Him for healing Him.

But the last part of this passage from Luke tells us it’s not all sweetness and light. There will come a day when Jesus returns. When He does, it’ll be too late to get ready. Usually, you read about it being a nice thing, where you read what happens to the believers – they get taken to Heaven. But this time Jesus tells about the not-so-nice part. This time, in the last verse, Jesus describes the dead body & the gathering of vultures. In short, it won’t be nice for the non-believers when Jesus returns.
