In today’s reading of Tyndale’s OYCSB (with featured content written by the CBT team),
- In the seventh month, the Feast of Trumpets, Day of Atonement, and Feast of Shelters are being observed in Jerusalem. As the time draws near for Jesus to ascend into heaven, the crowds have learned of the plot to have Jesus killed.
- Jesus teaches at the festival and drives the gap between those who believe the Scriptures—that He is the Messiah—and those who know the Scriptures but are blind, to a greater distance.
- Today’s reading features several opinions about Jesus. The Lamb who sits on the throne in the Heavenly Kingdom with no end is unrecognized in the temple made with hands.
- The Light of the World demonstrates what life looks like, but those in the darkness of what they have made the temple doubt the kind of life that would force them to admit they are sinners.
