Reading along with us in our Lenten readings from “The Life of Jesus”? Here’s today’s reading:
Lent 2026 – Day 11 in the Book: “The Life of Jesus“
The Week Jesus Dies
Read Sections 5.18 through 5.19 (pages 150-153)
This book is an account of Jesus’ life and teachings told in chronological order from the four Gospels to create one continuous story.

God expects that we, as His servants, would take all the things that he provides for us and use those things to multiply His kingdom, bearing fruit in our lives. Some are better equipped to do so, but we are to serve according to our gifts, rather then the gifts others. Even if we have little we should take what we have and multiply it without comparing ourselves to others. And how neat that Jesus considers our treatment of believers as how we would treat Him. And in this lesson we see the kind of things that Jesus would desire for believers to attend to. Now our salvation is not based on doing these kinds of works, but our salvation should result in these kinds of works being done by us who believe.
Day 11
The last man in this parable who received one talent was only concerned about himself and no one else. We must remember our time, our abilities and our money aren’t ours in the first place. We have no excuse to neglect those who have needs. Do not hand them over to the responsibility of the church or the government. Jesus demands our personal involvement in caring for others. Isaiah 58-7. Is it not to share your food with the hungry and to provide the poor wanderer with shelter when you see the naked to clothe him, and do not turn away from my own flesh and blood?
Lent 2026 – Day 11
Lent 2026 – Day 11
Psalm 87; Ezekiel 20; The Life of Jesus 5.18-5.19
Keeping up.
Day 11
God gives us time, talent, resources, and all are to be used for His glory and to grow His kingdom. He does not expect us to sit around watching others do all the work, but rather all we do we should do for His glory. When we care for others, it is us being an extension of Him, His hands and feet! What an honor to serve when we have the mindset that whatever we do for the least of them, it’s like we are doing it for God! For all He has done for us, it should be an honor to do for Him!
