2015DBRP_278 2Chron31 Ecc7 Mat20


A sign of how far Judah and Israel had wandered from the Lord was that even the Passover was not celebrated. When Hezekiah reinstituted the Passover celebration, it was the start of a real revival.

I find it interesting that Solomon would say that everything has been decided beforehand:

10Everything has already been decided. It was known long ago what each person would be. So there’s no use arguing with God about your destiny.

I think that Solomon would have taken back some of his words if he could have listened to what Jesus taught in yesterday’s reading in Matthew.

In yesterday’s reading, Jesus taught how evil divorce is, He blessed children (because they are so close to the kingdom of God), and He taught about the difficulty for rich people in this world to enter the Kingdom of God.

Translation notes:

16“[Even so, at the end,//So] those who are last now will be first then, and those who are first will be last.”

18“Listen,” he said, “we’re going up to Jerusalem, where [I,] the Son of Man[,] will be betrayed to the leading priests and the teachers of religious law. They will sentence [me/him] to die. 19Then they will hand [me/him] over to the Romans to be mocked, flogged with a whip, and crucified. But on the third day [I/he] will be raised from the dead.”

28 For even [I,] the Son of Man came not to be served[,] but to serve others and to give [my/his] life as a ransom for many.”

32When Jesus heard them, he stopped and [said/called], “What do you want me to do for you?”
