Back to EpisodesLiving Today as if It Were Your Last Day (Matthew 20:29-34; Mark 10:46-52; Luke 18:35–19:28)
Description
If you knew tomorrow was your last day, would you change anything or would you live it the way you’re living today? We open with John Wesley’s bracing answer and then follow Jesus as he heads toward Jerusalem, still healing, teaching, and saving without hesitation. That steady purpose becomes the lens for Luke’s Jericho scenes, where need, sin, and hope all collide on the roadside.
First, we meet a blind beggar who refuses to be silenced. Bartimaeus cries out, “Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me,” and Jesus stops long enough to ask the question that exposes desire and faith: “What do you want me to do for you?” Then the spotlight swings to Zacchaeus, a chief tax collector with a stained reputation and a curious heart. Jesus calls him by name, chooses his house, and Zacchaeus responds with real repentance that shows up in real restitution.
Finally, we walk through the parable of the minas, a story about stewardship, accountability, and what faithfulness looks like while we wait for the King to return. We connect the dots to Jesus’ mission statement, “The Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost,” and we end with a personal inventory of our time, finances, talents, and spiritual gifts.
