0:00.0 | Welcome to our new project, the Daily Bible Devotional. The goal is to help you understand and apply |
0:09.6 | scripture as you go through a New Testament Bible read five days a week, Monday through Friday, |
0:15.5 | as we move from Matthew straight through to Revelation. In under four minutes each morning, we will recap the chapter, |
0:22.8 | make some application, present thought questions for the day, and offer a prayer together. |
0:28.5 | I'm excited about exploring God's word with you, so let's get started. |
0:34.1 | Welcome to our study from Mark Chapter 12. Let's start with a recap of the content. |
0:39.1 | Jesus and the Jewish leaders battle in this chapter. It begins with the parable of the vineyard workers. |
0:45.4 | They attack the owner's delegates and eventually kill his son. The result was wrath from the father and the |
0:51.5 | destruction of the murderers. The Jews know Jesus is talking about them, |
0:56.3 | so they send inquisitors to try and trap Jesus in his words. They ask him about paying |
1:01.6 | poll taxes to Caesar. Jesus responds by saying to give Caesar his taxes. They ask about a seven-time |
1:07.8 | widow in her marriage in heaven. Jesus responds with divine wisdom about |
1:11.8 | eternity. They ask about the greatest commandment, and he responds perfectly with the law of love. |
1:17.9 | These prideful men are said in contrast with the humble widow who contributes all that she has |
1:23.7 | to God. Let's look a little more closely to decide which of those two were going to be. |
1:30.5 | The widow at the end is praised by Jesus because her devotion to God is real and sacrificial. |
1:36.1 | She is fully committed to God, while many others only give out of their surplus. |
1:40.5 | She is the opposite of the Jewish leaders. The parable at the beginning is about killing the son of the owner so they can have the vineyard. |
1:48.0 | The motivation is selfishness and greed. |
1:51.2 | All their questions for Jesus are about diminishing him so they don't have to submit. |
1:56.5 | Their main priority is themselves and what they can get and keep. |
2:00.8 | We are challenged to be less like them and more like the widow at the end. |
