Good evening, Cozy Bible Bookworms!
As we wind down tonight, we’re celebrating a milestone in 90 Days with Jesus: today’s reading, Mark 16, brings us to the end of our first Gospel!
Mark has taken us on a fast-moving journey through Jesus’ ministry, from healing and teaching to His death and resurrection. Along the way, we’ve seen His compassion, His authority, and the disciples’ struggles to understand and follow Him. Before we turn the page to Matthew, here’s something to reflect on tonight: How has reading Mark shaped your understanding of what it means to follow Jesus?
Tomorrow, we begin Matthew 1! We’ll revisit some familiar events, but through a different lens. Where Mark moves quickly from one event to the next, Matthew gives more space to Jesus’ teachings, including the Sermon on the Mount. He also draws connections to the Old Testament, showing how Jesus fulfills God’s promises, and begins with Jesus’ family line and the story of His birth.
Haven’t joined us yet? Tomorrow is a wonderful time to begin! Whether you’re opening the Bible for the first time or have read these passages many times before, you’re welcome here. There’s no need to catch up on Mark first. We’re reading one chapter a day, with space to ask questions, share reflections, and grow together. You can read the King James Version (KJV) directly on our website or follow along with whichever Bible translation you prefer.
Rest well, and I’ll meet you in Matthew tomorrow!
