🌊 Matthew 20

Matthew 20 is a real chapter from the New Testament. It starts, ““For the Kingdom of Heaven is like a man who was the master of a household, who went out early in the morning to hire laborers for his vineyard.” That is not a motto invented for a poster. It is the first sentence a family hears when this page is opened at night.

Keep going a little further. The chapter also says, ““Behold, we are going up to Jerusalem, and the Son of Man will be delivered to the chief priests and scribes, and they will condemn him to death,” Matthew 20 opens with these words: ““For the Kingdom of Heaven is like a man who was the master of a household, who went out early in the morning to hire laborers for his…” The line to keep is Matthew 20:30: “Behold, two blind men sitting by the road, when they heard that Jesus was passing by, cried out, “Lord, have mercy on us, you son of David!”” Carry the word “behold” from that verse into the rest of the day.

The line worth learning out loud is Matthew 20:30: “Behold, two blind men sitting by the road, when they heard that Jesus was passing by, cried out, “Lord, have mercy on us, you son of David!”” If the rest of the chapter feels crowded, hold that one sentence until the room is quiet.

What happens first in Matthew 20? Then try this: Read “Behold, two blind men sitting by the road, when they heard that Jesus was passing by, cried out, “Lord, have…” once more. What does it show you about God? You do not have to finish every verse. You can close the book after the memory verse and still have read the Bible together.
