Genesis 6:11-7:5 and 1 Peter 3:18-22
Genesis 6:8-22 relate that one man — Noah — was an exception. Noah made an effort to please God in spite of the ungodliness around him, and for that reason, he “found grace in the eyes of the Lord.” In Hebrew, the word grace comes from a root meaning “to bend or stoop.” Thus, grace is the condescending or unmerited favor of a superior person to a lesser one. This is the first occurrence of this word in Scripture.It seems as though Peter nearly always returns to the cross. He constantly reminds readers that willingness to suffer for Jesus' sake is based on the wonder of Christ's willingness to suffer death on the cross for our sakes.

In Romans 10:13, Paul quotes from Joel 2:32: “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved.” This verse means that the gospel of faith is open to all, but there must be a proper response, which is to call on the name of the Lord.

Luke 19:1-10
Jesus chose to stay at Zacchaeus place whom other people say that he is a sinner. We need to understand that Jesus judges us fairly. People who accepts and believes in Him despite of their doings will be forgiven as long as they repent their sins.

Revelation 21:4 (understanding)When it's all said and done, the Lord declares that He will wipe away every tear. A better day is indeed coming, and He is working to bring an end to all pain and suffering. As we place our trust in Him, we can know that a new Kingdom awaits… one that makes every moment until then worthwhile!

John 20 is the twentieth chapter of the Gospel of John in the New Testament. It relates the story of Jesus' resurrection. It relates how Mary Magdalene went to the tomb of Jesus and found it empty. Jesus appears to her and speaks of his resurrection and dispatches Mary to tell the news to the disciples.

Mark14:12-26Mark tells us that it is the first day of Unleavened Bread (v. 12) which was the day Passover was celebrated. In less than 24 hours Jesus will be delivered up to the authorities and on his way to the cross. Jesus spends his final day with his disciples breaking bread. We know this today as the “Last Supper.”
