Holy Week: Day 3: Tuesday Okay you all, this one is a big one, a long one. Tuesday seems to be the day Jesus did the most preaching and teaching. Now, considering Jesus knows His time is coming to an end, I can only surmise that his last “sermons” have great significance, and,therefore, should be closely studied.

Last October, in a morning Bible study, I was overcome by Matthew 25, The Final Judgment, in which it explains how the nations will be separated…those who served…and those who didn’t. I have not been able to shake these verses and all year I have been looking for different ways to serve. Continue reading “Be Blessed and Be a Blessing”
