2026 Reading Plan Reflections - Day 88
by Walt Martin on April 3rd, 2026
If we’re honest, we all carry double standards. We treat insiders one way… outsiders another. We extend grace when it benefits us… and withhold it when it costs us. We react based on the moment… and expect others to treat us better than we treat them. That’s just human nature. But Jesus doesn’t adjust His teaching to match our tendencies. He calls us higher.  Read More

They had been waiting for the Messiah. Just not this one. They wanted someone who would reinforce what they already valued. Someone who would protect their position, preserve their system, and affirm their expectations. But Jesus doesn’t do that. He exposes it.  Read More
