ONE DAY WITH JESUS

17^TH ,MARCH 2022

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Jeremiah 36-38

TEXT: Matthew 9:14-26
14 Then the disciples of John came to Him, saying, “Why do we and the Pharisees fast often, but Your disciples do not fast?”

15 And Jesus said to them, “Can the friends of the bridegroom mourn as long as the bridegroom is with them? But the days will come when the bridegroom will be taken away from them, and then they will fast. 

16 No one puts a piece of unshrunk cloth on an old garment; for the patch pulls away from the garment, and the tear is made worse. 

17 Nor do they put new wine into old wineskins, or else the wineskins break, the wine is spilled, and the wineskins are ruined. But they put new wine into new wineskins, and both are preserved.”

18 While He spoke these things to them, behold, a ruler came and worshiped Him, saying, “My daughter has just died, but come and lay Your hand on her and she will live.” 

19 So Jesus arose and followed him, and so did His disciples.

20 And suddenly, a woman who had a flow of blood for twelve years came from behind and touched the hem of His garment.

 21 For she said to herself, “If only I may touch His garment, I shall be made well.”

 22 But Jesus turned around, and when He saw her He said, “Be of good cheer, daughter; your faith has made you well.” And the woman was made well from that hour.

23 When Jesus came into the ruler’s house, and saw the flute players and the noisy crowd wailing, 

24 He said to them, “Make room, for the girl is not dead, but sleeping.” And they ridiculed Him. 

25 But when the crowd was put outside, He went in and took her by the hand, and the girl arose. 

26 And the report of this went out into all that land.

KEY VERSE: Matthew 9:17

“Neither do men put new wine into old bottles: else the bottles break, and the wine runneth out, and the bottles perish: but they put new wine into new bottles, and both are preserved.”

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY:

Dare to make today a day with Jesus.

THE MESSAGE:

Topaz is a precious stone with its many sides blazing its brightness. It was a piece of ornament approved by the Lord on the garments of Aaron and his sons in the days of Moses. In the book of Revelation, topaz also features as one of the twelve foundations of the New Jerusalem descending from heaven. It is a tough versatile stone with every angle profitable to gem makers and a delight to behold.

The earthly ministry of our Lord Jesus Christ was more sparkling than the topaz. He blazed forth glory, brightness and light to those He encountered. He met their spiritual and physical needs, dealt with mischievous questions masterly and dropped great Kingdom principle. A woman with twelve years of blood flow was healed after touching His garment. He also brought back a dead girl to life.

What a day with Jesus! Everywhere He went, He did good. He shone to lift the cloud preventing sunshine from coming into the lives of the people. As He healed, He also wanted them to know that only new creatures (new bottles) who receive the salvation He brought can receive His teachings (new wine). The old man must give way to the new to take in the gospel and enjoy the new life in Christ.

We can make today a day with Jesus by exercising faith in His power to solve every problem. We can also emulate Him by making each day count. The Lord was not wasteful with time in His day. He used every opportunity to teach, preach, attend to questions and bring joy to those He met. The same success story awaits us all as we delve into our Father’s work in our outing today.

DO HAVE A BLESSED DAY
