Reading
SAA Notes
Jewish Christian Alfred Edersheim tells us that this crowd had just sung Psalm 24 as they finished morning worship in the Temple and poured out to greet Jesus. Read that psalm and reflect on both passages.
SJA Notes
* Dear God, thank You for today, and for Your word to us. Please shape us as You see fit.
“… For all the people were hanging on his words.”
What a wonderful joyful reality we read here! That all the people were wholeheartedly taking in the words of the Master.
What an exhortation and encouragement this is to us – To hang off the words of our Lord, the King – Jesus, Messiah!
Deeper still, as He is God’s word become flesh, we are to be a people that longs for His word as if it were out lifeblood – because it is our spiritual life and health.
Praise God for His word!
Hallelujah, what a Lord and Saviour we have!
* Gracious God,
Thank You for Your word.
Thank You for You in the Person of the Son, our King Jesus, through who we can know You.
Please help us each day to earnestly listen, to hearken to Your word, wrestle with what You say, to walk in obedience and trust.
Thank You Lord!
Amen.
