5 THINGS I WANT TO KNOW

1-Was the upper room any kind of special room before being used by Jesus and his disciples?

2-Had Judas partaken any of the Last Supper before Jesus pointed him out as the betrayer?

3-Scripture says that when Jesus gave a piece of bread to Judas "Satan entered unto him".  Was he not controlled by Satan before this event?

SCRIPTURE FOR THE DAY       Mark 2:1-5

2 A few days later, when Jesus came back to Capernaum, the news spread that he was at home. ² Many people gathered together so that there was no room in the house, not even outside the door. And Jesus was teaching them God’s message. ³ Four people came, carrying a paralyzed man. ⁴ Since they could not get to Jesus because of the crowd, they dug a hole in the roof right above where he was speaking. When they got through, they lowered the mat with the paralyzed man on it. ⁵ When Jesus saw the faith of these people, he said to the paralyzed man, “Young man, your sins are forgiven.”

 

PRAYER FOR THE DAY

  Father, Your Word is a lamp unto my feet and a light unto my path.  I have hidden Your Word in my heart that I might not sin against You. Direct me in the path of Your commands, for there I find delight. Turn my eyes away from worthless things; preserve my life according to Your Word. Let me live that I may praise You and may Your laws sustain me. My heart is set on keeping Your decrees to the very end.  Amen.

 

I WISH YOU A DAY FILLED WITH LOVE, LAUGHTER, FORGIVENESS AND THANKSGIVING!
