Because God was bringing what had been written to completion

Because the main goal was to impress the crowd

Because the purpose was only to stop the suffering

The events were meant to bring the written word to completion

The events were mainly to explain a later miracle

Treat Scripture as reliable and let it shape your next choice

Use Scripture for background, but decide mainly by convenience

Wait for a dramatic sign before taking the text seriously

Assume hard circumstances mean God is not keeping his word

If you would like to receive Jesus, pray this with me: Lord Jesus, I admit that I have sinned and I need your mercy. You came in fulfillment of God's word, you died for my sins, and you rose again. I turn from my sin and trust you as my Savior. Be Lord of my life and make me whole. Amen.

Receive the One Who Fulfilled God's Word

Lord, revive your Church with fresh awe for your fulfilled word. Where we have treated Scripture lightly, make us tremble and trust again. Teach us to see Jesus as the faithful one whom your promises point to, and make our lives match what we read. Stir our hearts to obey, to believe, and to stand firm, in the name of Jesus. Amen.

Renew Our Reverence for Your Word

Read one promise or command from Scripture, thank God that his word holds, then ask him for grace to let that word shape your next decision today.

Pray Over the Word Before You Move

Thank God that he keeps his word, that nothing in history can cancel what he has spoken, and that the events around Jesus confirm Scripture rather than contradict it.

Thank God for His Kept Word

Father, when circumstances feel confusing, help us remember that your word is not shaken. Give us patience to trust what you have spoken, courage to obey it, and peace when we cannot yet see how it will unfold, in the name of Jesus. Amen.

Steady Our Trust

Bring before God: a Scripture passage you want to obey, one place where you need confidence in his promises, and one habit that will help you remember his word this week.
