Life, Death, and the King’s Arrival: Deuteronomy 30–31 and the Triumphal Entry (Day 109)

What do we do with the time and the truth we’ve been given? Today in Deuteronomy, Moses delivers his final, stirring appeal to Israel: "I have set before you life and death... therefore choose life." As he prepares to pass the leadership to Joshua, he reminds the people that God’s Word is not far off in heaven, but is very near—in their mouths and in their hearts. In the Gospel of Luke, Jesus nears the end of His own journey as He enters Jerusalem on a donkey. He tells the Parable of the Ten Minas to teach about stewardship and then weeps over the city that fails to recognize the "time of its visitation."Today’s Scripture:📖 Deuteronomy 30:11–31:29 – Moses emphasizes the accessibility of God's commands and calls heaven and earth as witnesses to the choice Israel must make. He formally commissions Joshua, commands the public reading of the Law every seven years, and predicts that the people will eventually turn away, prompting him to write a song as a witness against them.📖 Luke 19:11–44 – Jesus tells the Parable of the Ten Minas to correct expectations about the immediate appearance of the Kingdom. He then rides into Jerusalem to the shouts of "Blessed is the King!" only to weep over the city, foretelling its destruction because it rejected the peace He offered.📖 Psalm 48:1–8 – A song of Zion, celebrating the beauty and security of the city of God: "Great is the Lord and greatly to be praised in the city of our God!"RESOURCES & READ-ALONG 📺 Watch on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLYKi8-_5xHGL_nFAZOthHtZhcb4CqW4ZF 📖 Follow the Text (LEB): https://biblia.com/books/leb/ 🗓️ Download the Full Plan: https://www.biblica.com/resources/reading-plans/CONNECT & SUPPORT 📧 Questions?
