Day 40: Leviticus 10-12; Matthew 26:1-16
by Jonathan Merki on February 9th, 2023
Whatever you think of the account the deaths of Nadab and Abihu, Aaron's sons (Leviticus 10:1f), you and I know by faith that God's judgments are just, for He looks on the hearts of humans. Extreme as it seems, we are reminded in Leviticus 11:44-45 that God is holy, and He calls us to holiness. His appointed spiritual leaders should lead the charge. Speaking of leading the charge, it was the appoi...  Read More

Day 39: Leviticus 7-9; Matthew 25:31-46
by Jonathan Merki on February 8th, 2023
This morning I had one of those majorly frustrating techno-moments. The thoughts I composed and recorded were ready to be published. When I pushed the 'publish' button, an error message appeared with the instruction to log in again. No problem, I have saved my log-in. Click. Poof. All my wisdom disintegrated into the cloud and all I was left with was the heading. Today was one of those days: accou...  Read More

Day 38: Leviticus 4-6; Matthew 25:1-30
by Jonathan Merki on February 7th, 2023
On Sunday, Pastor Deserea had us all say, "No!" Basically anything that is unlike God, displeases Him, or keeps us from an unbroken relationship with Him is to be avoided at all costs. Likewise, she had us all say, "Yes!" to the limitless possibilities in embracing Christlikeness. Early on in the wilderness journey, Israel encountered God's awesome holiness. We read the fear and awe accounts. In o...  Read More

Day 37: Leviticus 2-3; Matthew 24
by Jonathan Merki on February 6th, 2023
The religious leaders asked for a sign and Jesus rebuked them. Of course, they were asking for Jesus to prove himself to them. His presence, His life was proof enough (Matthew 16:1-4). The disciples asked for a sign and Jesus entertained their question (Matthew 24:3). Of course, the signs have been happening since Jesus ascended to heaven. Martyrs and mayhem have been with us from the start. The d...  Read More

Day 36: Exodus 37 - Leviticus 1; Matthew 23:23-39
by Jonathan Merki on February 5th, 2023
In the emotional frenzy of the moment, the crowd cried out the words that they will one day sing again, "Blessed is He that comes in the name of the Lord" (Matthew 21:9; 23:39). But, they were hollow words. For that same crowd will again utter a frenzied mob condemnation: "Crucify! Crucify!" (Matthew 27:22-23). The irony is that the fickle crowd is inspired by the same ones who claimed they would ...  Read More

Day 35: Exodus 37 - Leviticus 1; Matthew 23:23-39
by Jonathan Merki on February 4th, 2023
In Exodus 31:1-11 we are introduced to Bezalel and Oholiab, skilled craftsmen appointed by God and filled with His Spirit, to do the work of constructing the tabernacle. They cannot do this alone. In Exodus 35:30-35 we are reintroduced to these men, given their status and reminded of their appointment with the addition of this vital fact that God gave them the ability to teach others their trades ...  Read More
