Something was revealed to me through TLC’s comments. Jesus put himself out there and stayed 3 days to heal the sick and a He put himself in there and stayed 3 days in that tomb to save and heal us from our sins. What love our Savior has for us!
My God Shot: when you said he probably was exhausted even though Jesus is fully God and fully human. That further lets me know that in my own strength, I can't do anything. But, God knows this from experience and certainly will help me do whatever He has put before me. My load is heavy but Jesus can and will make it light. In him, I will succeed in this (and any other) assignment.
What the Lord cares about is our hearts. Outward appearances of obedience and following traditions is not what matters to God. What matters most is a repentant heart that knows his/her spiritual depravity and desperate need for Jesus.
In John 14 He says if you love Me, you will obey My commands. So yes, hearts matter, but bc we love Him, we walk in obedience. Obviously, we mess up, but He is there waiting for us to repent.❤
My God shot was Jesus was discussing the hypocrisy that the pharisees were practicing. It humbly reminded me to avoid putting my flesh wants over my spiritual needs and a pray that I can continue to put my spirt over my flesh, I pray this for all of you as well. God bless y’all🤝✝️
Aloha, praise the Lord and good morning BR family. God shows us that is not what’s on the outside (clean or unclean ) hands; it’s about our hearts. As said to the woman in 15:28, “O woman, is your faith! Let it be to you as you desire”. Only trust, faith and believe he will always follow through on his promises. He is where the JOY is!!!❤
Matthew 16:30, "Great crowds came to him, bringing the lame, the blind, the crippled, the mute, and many others, and laid them at his feet; and he healed them." He is our Healer.
Jesus takes a wrecking ball to hypocrites and self-serving institutions, and assures His disciples, “Don’t worry about them. They won’t last. Be concerned about your hearts. That’s what endures; that’s what My kingdom is built upon” (Matt 15:14, 20). This is refreshing and hopeful for us to hear today: the opinion-makers and keepers of power in education, the courts, the media are so clear that God is not only a myth, but dangerously divisive and judgmental. But Jesus says, “I know their hearts, and look around you. The Pharisees died with Rome; I endure forever. What you see today will be overturned by My kingdom of joy, peace, love, kindness-against these things, there is no law” Gal 5:23).
So glad for the youtube option as my apple Podcast hasn’t loaded today. I LOVE the bible recap!!!! It has changed my walk with the LORD; this is my 5th yr following along in this reading plan. Thank you TLC for blessing us with this amazing resource! You are awesome
God is concerned about our hearts. He said the things that defile us are what comes out of our mouths which comes from our hearts (Matt 15:18, Mark 7:21).
Lol thanks for bacon finally. Yes God is is definitely our provider through Jesus Christ he healed the sick and brought us all closer to our destination which is eternal life. He is where the joy is thank you TLC
Thanks God for continually transforming my heart ❤️🤗🙌🏾💯 Good morning bible Family and TLC and the TBR team Have a blessed day in His Presence for He is truly where the Joy is 🙏❤️
This is actually the second time recorded that Jesus heals someone who is a Gentile. It is interesting to point out that Jesus and the disciples went all that way for her. The first healing was the servant of a Roman Centurion. He had great faith too. Good Commentary, Tara-Lee. God bless you!
That Jesus tests our faith isn’t a reality that I think of often. But He seems to be doing that with the woman from Phoenicia, and God certainly tested Abraham’s faith on Mt Moriah, and He did as Jacob wrestled “with God.” Jesus wants not only to strengthen my faith, but also the faith of others around me.
And the testing makes us arrive at our own answers, or clarify our beliefs and motives toward God. It's the "communion of the saints" spoken of in the Apostles' Creed. Like a conversation.
When the need was greater and the resouces were less (feed 5,000 with 5 loaves), there were more leftovers (12 baskets). Here, feeeding less people (4,000) with more resources (7 loaves) left 7 baskets of leftovers. Shows that God can use our little resources for His work and that less resources is Not a disadvantage. Credit to my pastor in a recent sermon.
I can't help but wonder if the significance of the 7 baskets was also to remind the disciples of the 5 loaves + 2 fish that He had already fed the crowd of 5000 men with plus women and children!
Reading God's word and knowing it through and through allows us to decipher God's commands from human traditions or laws. We need to know the difference between human traditions and what God commands of us so that we can honor God and stay true to Him over the things of this world. Matthew 15:3 NIV "Jesus replied, “And why do you break the command of God for the sake of your tradition?" This makes me think of America's tradition of celebrating Halloween. I don't know what the Bible would teach us regarding this holiday. Any thoughts?
It is a pagan tradition of worship of the Dead. I don't think God approves of it. And you're right that is just following tradition same thing with Easter bunny on easter. We just combined Christian events with pagan tradition.
Regarding Halloween, someone pointed out to me, on no other holidays do people from around you come willingly to YOUR door? We should take advantage of that opportunity in whatever way seems appropriate.
When your loved one dies, they are not fishin’ with daddy, and greeting and huggin’ mama and granny… they are on their faces worshiping a most Holy God. If you don’t like reverence, worship, and fellowship with the brethren here on earth, your not gonna like heaven
Help, help! Yesterday you discussed the term believe in context of its true original meaning. I started thinking about that in terms of John 3:16. It has to be more than “believe in Him”. Where can i do a deep dive into this in light of your discussion yesterday??????
I don’t think the three days of healing was a coincidence. Jesus spent three days healing the sick, then the multiplication of food emphasized the bread. Jesus spent three days in the grave and we learned earlier that Jesus is the Bread of Life. “Then Jesus called his disciples to him and said, “I have compassion on the crowd because they have been with me now three days and have nothing to eat. And I am unwilling to send them away hungry, lest they faint on the way.”” Matthew 15:32 ESV
I’m confused. I thought that Jesus fed 5,000, but this is about the 3rd time that I’ve heard TLC say 15,000. Can anyone bring clarity to this for me? Thanks in advance!

My God shot was how He went for the one in Tyre. Left the 99 for the one. God is after our hearts. ❤
My thought exactly.

We need our Father! With Him we can accomplish great things. Without God, I am empty.

Amen repentance is key!

Jesus wants more from us than just checking off boxes. He wants all of us heart and soul.

YES! I struggle with this but I know that it's what God wants for me to accomplish!

He's where the Joy is bible Family ❤
That He will leave the 99 to save the 1. He has such compassion and love.
So glad for the youtube option as my apple

Bacon is a gift from God.
@TLC the facial expression at 1:43 is priceless 😂😂😂
I caught that too! 😂
All things created by God are good. How those things are used is sometimes not good.
Thanks God for continually transforming my heart ❤️🤗🙌🏾💯 Good morning bible Family and TLC and the TBR team Have a blessed day in His Presence for He is truly where the Joy is 🙏❤️
Hey Bible Readers!
Yes, Thank You Jesus; thank You Jesus for our good; Amen

Thank you team and thank you Jesus for giving me a new heart ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
One of my favorite passages in the Bible is Revelation 4:10,11! Thank you for this TLC.
Thank you for clearing this up for me Tara Leigh; did not really understand this passage of scripture with the woman prior to your explanation 🙋🏻♀️❣️
I can't help but wonder if the significance of the 7 baskets was also to remind the disciples of the 5 loaves + 2 fish that He had already fed the crowd of 5000 men with plus women and children!
Yes. Barley happy meal. 👍
GOD BLESS YOU TLC
Amen TLC!
Good

@@joanneshields479I agree!
I really don't believe Mardi Gras or Halloween honor God.
I agree. @@joanneshields479

Jesus made bacon delicious again.

I don’t wash my hands before I eat.
Why do you think demons were allowed to enter children?
I don’t think the three days of healing was a coincidence. Jesus spent three days healing the sick, then the multiplication of food emphasized the bread.

Beautiful connection you noticed.
I’m confused. I thought that Jesus fed 5,000, but this is about the 3rd time that I’ve heard TLC say 15,000. Can anyone bring clarity to this for me? Thanks in advance!
5000 was just men. So if you include the women and children, the number goes up.
I thought that happed with Paul in a version.
It’s Peter in Acts.
Tara said God fed 15000, all Ive read is 5000
@barbarajohnson1801 it says he fed 5,000 men plus women and children, so 15,000 is a good guess.
He did NOT declare they were OK to eat. Yikes! He's talking about food that they eat, not a ham sandwich.
Mark tacks the declaration in parenthesis at the end of verse 19. It was part of the original text. (Thus he declared all foods clean.)
