The Wonderful Teaching of Jesus
When the Sabbath came, he began to teach in the synagogue, and many who heard him were amazed.
- Mark 6:2
Do you remember your school days, when there were certain subjects you didn’t care about, those boring ones that didn’t spark any interest? In Jesus’ classroom, that doesn’t exist. His teaching captivates us, fills us, fascinates us, and is easy to understand.
Everything Jesus teaches is useful and should be considered important. We should not disregard what seems more difficult or what we don’t like as much. What truly matters is that we take in what He has shared and apply it to our lives.
Do not underestimate the teaching of Jesus! In fact, His teachings can encourage and strengthen those who hear them, for no one teaches like Him, no one has greater authority than the Lord. Through His Word, He continues to teach us how we should live, to reveal who our Heavenly Father is, and to reconcile us with Him.
Apply your heart to instruction
and your ears to words of knowledge.
- Proverbs 23:12
Read, meditate on, study, and apply God’s Word in your life!

Today, the God of the Impossible is with you!
Is it impossible? Leave it with God. Remember that for God there is nothing too difficult.
For nothing is impossible for God.
- Luke 1:37
God can transform any difficult situation into victory. Any sadness into joy. For those who have faith in the God who created the universe, nothing is impossible.
Are you worried about something today? Have you received unsettling news? Go before God in prayer, bring your burdens to Him, and trust in God’s incomparable power. Where others see no solution, God can work and perform great wonders. Do not doubt God’s power! Faith and trust in God will renew your strength and help you as you wait to see the manifestation of God’s power.
Truly I tell you, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you.
- Matthew 17:20b
But blessed is the one who trusts in the Lord,
whose confidence is in him.
They will be like a tree planted by the water
that sends out its roots by the stream.
It does not fear when heat comes;
its leaves are always green.
It has no worries in a year of drought
and never fails to bear fruit.”
- Jeremiah 17:7–8
Talk to God and tell Him all your concerns. He can do what you cannot! Is there a better way to start the day?
Day Before Yesterday's Word
Jesus lifts us up
The spirit shrieked, convulsed him violently and came out. The boy looked so much like a corpse that many said, “He’s dead.” But Jesus took him by the hand and lifted him to his feet, and he stood up.
- Mark 9:26–27
In Mark 9:14–29, we read about a boy possessed by demons who was set free by the power of Jesus. Jesus rebuked the impure spirit, cast it out, and the young boy was completely delivered.
What Jesus did for us is similar to what He did for that boy. Before we knew Christ, we were dead separated from God and enslaved by sin. But Christ reached out His hand toward us and saved us. He delivered us from death and gave us true life.
Today we can stand before God the Father and give thanks for all Jesus has done for us! Let us never underestimate the work the Lord has done in our lives. May we not grow used to living each day with the Lord without being in awe of His redemptive work in us or sharing His love with others.
Has Jesus raised you up, transformed you, saved you? Take a moment now to thank Him and renew your love for Him. Remember what Christ has done for you, tell others about His love and power, and live each day for Him.
I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I now live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.
- Galatians 2:20
