His Presence in Hurt
Matthew 26:14-16 14 Then one of the Twelve, the one called Y’hudah (Judas) from K’riot, went to the head cohanim (Priest) 15 and said, “What are you willing to give me if I turn Yeshua over to you? ”They counted out thirty silver coins and gave them to Y’hudah. 16 From then on he looked for a good opportunity to betray him. Zechariah 11:12 I said to them, “If it seems good to you, give me my wages; if not, don’t.” So they weighed out my wages, thirty silver [shekels, that is,

Let go of the perfume
Matthew 26:6 -13 6 Yeshua was in Beit-Anyah (Bethany), at the home of Shim‘on (Simon), the man who had had tzara’at (leprosy). 7 A woman who had an alabaster jar filled with very expensive perfume approached Yeshua while he was eating and began pouring it on his head. 8 When the talmidim (disciples) saw it, they became very angry. “Why this waste?” they asked. 9 “This could have been sold for a lot of money and given to the poor.” 10 But Yeshua, aware of what was going on, sa

He has the NOW
Matthew 26:1-5 When Yeshua had finished speaking, he said to his talmidim (disciples/students), 2 “As you know, Pesach (Passover) is two days away, and the Son of Man will be handed over to be nailed to the execution-stake.” 3 Then the head cohanim (priests) and the elders of the people gathered in the palace of Kayafa (Caiaphas) the cohen hagadol (high priest). 4 They made plans to arrest Yeshua surreptitiously and have him put to death; 5 but they said, “Not during the fest

Sheep and Goats
Matthew 25:31-46 31 “When the Son of Man comes in his glory, accompanied by all the angels, he will sit on his glorious throne. 32 All the nations will be assembled before him, and he will separate people one from another as a shepherd separates sheep from goats. 33 The ‘sheep’ he will place at his right hand and the ‘goats’ at his left. 34 “Then the King will say to those on his right, ‘Come, you whom my Father has blessed, take your inheritance, the Kingdom prepared for you

Using our talents
Matthew 25:14-30 14 “For it will be like a man about to leave home for awhile, who entrusted his possessions to his servants. 15 To one he gave five talents [equivalent to a hundred years’ wages]; to another, two talents; and to another, one talent — to each according to his ability. Then he left. 16 The one who had received five talents immediately went out, invested it and earned another five. 17 Similarly, the one given two earned another two. 18 But the one given one tale

Ready in a Moment...
Matthew 25:1-13 “The Kingdom of Heaven at that time will be like ten bridesmaids who took their lamps and went out to meet the groom. 2 Five of them were foolish and five were sensible. 3 The foolish ones took lamps with them but no oil, 4 whereas the others took flasks of oil with their lamps. 5 Now the bridegroom was late, so they all went to sleep. 6 It was the middle of the night when the cry rang out, ‘The bridegroom is here! Go out to meet him!’ 7 The girls all woke up

A Servant for Him
Matthew 24:45-51 45 “Who is the faithful and sensible servant whose master puts him in charge of the household staff, to give them their food at the proper time? 46 It will go well with that servant if he is found doing his job when his master comes. 47 Yes, I tell you that he will put him in charge of all he owns. 48 But if that servant is wicked and says to himself, ‘My master is taking his time’; 49 and he starts beating up his fellow servants and spends his time eating an

Be Ready
Matthew 24:32-44 32 “Now let the fig tree teach you its lesson: when its branches begin to sprout and leaves appear, you know that summer is approaching. 33 In the same way, when you see all these things, you are to know that the time is near, right at the door. 34 Yes! I tell you that this people will certainly not pass away before all these things happen. 35 Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will never pass away. 36 “But when that day and hour will come, no one

Find His Peace in Troubling Times
Matthew 24:23-31 23 “At that time, if someone says to you, ‘Look! Here’s the Messiah!’ or, ‘There he is!’ don’t believe him. 24 For there will appear false Messiahs and false prophets performing great miracles — amazing things! — so as to fool even the chosen, if possible. 25 There! I have told you in advance! 26 So if people say to you, ‘Listen! He’s out in the desert!’ don’t go; or, ‘Look! He’s hidden away in a secret room!’ don’t believe it. 27 For when the Son of Man does

Hold to His Promise
Matthew 24:15-22 15 “So when you see the abomination that causes devastation spoken about through the prophet Dani’el standing in the Holy Place” (let the reader understand the allusion), 16 “that will be the time for those in Y’hudah to escape to the hills. 17 If someone is on the roof, he must not go down to gather his belongings from his house; 18 if someone is in the field, he must not turn back to get his coat. 19 What a terrible time it will be for pregnant women and nu
