How to use Explore 1
In this issue
Find a time you can read the Bible each day
The 92 daily readings in this issue of Explore are designed to help you understand and apply the Bible as you read it each day.
2
Find a place where you can be quiet and think
It’s serious! We suggest that you allow 15 minutes each day to work through the Bible passage with the notes. It should be a meal, not a snack! Readings from other parts of the Bible can throw valuable light on the study passage. These cross-references can be skipped if you are already feeling full up, but will expand your grasp of the Bible. Explore uses the NIV1984 Bible translation, but you can also use it with the NIV2011 or ESV translations. Sometimes a prayer box will encourage you to stop and pray through the lessons—but it is always important to allow time to pray for God’s Spirit to bring his word to life, and to shape the way we think and live through it.
We’re serious! All of us who work on Explore share a passion for getting the Bible into people’s lives. We fiercely hold to the Bible as God’s word—to honour and follow, not 6 to explain away. Pray about what you have read

should try to develop your own lists to pray through. Use the flap inside the back cover to help with this. Often our problem is not so much who to pray for, as what to pray for them! That’s why Bible reading and prayer are inseparable. We are reminded from God’s word of what is truly important; it will shape what we pray for ourselves, the world and others.
elcome to Explore—a resource to help you dig into, understand and apply to your life the timeless truth of God’s word. It can be a struggle to find a daily time to spend with God. Children, the busyness of life, special nights out, holidays, or just sheer exhaustion can all conspire to get in the way. However, there is no substitute for just getting into a good habit. Whatever you choose to do, guard your time with God jealously. If you come hungry to learn from the Lord, and to feed on the truth, it will be a place of nurture and growth, and a source of direction and strength for your daily life. Time: Find a time when you will not be disturbed, and when the cobwebs are cleared from your mind. Many people have found that the morning is the best time, as it sets you up for the day. You may not be a “morning person”, so last thing at night or a mid-morning break may suit you. Whatever works for you is right for you. Place: Jesus says that we are not to make a great show of our religion (see Matthew 6 v 5-6), but rather, pray with the door to our room shut. So, anywhere you can be quiet and private is the key. Some people plan to get to work a few minutes earlier and get their Bible out in an office, or some other quiet corner.
Share: As the saying goes: expression deepens impression. So try to cultivate the habit of sharing with others what you have learned. It will encourage both them and you. Using the same notes as a friend will help you encourage each other to keep going.
Remember: It’s quality, not quantity, that counts: Better to think briefly about a single verse, than to skim through pages without absorbing anything. Falling behind: It’s inevitable that you will occasionally miss a day. Don’t be paralysed by guilt. Just start again. It’s about developing a love relationship, not a law relationship: Don’t think that “doing your quiet time” is an end in itself. The sign that your daily time with God is real is when you start to love him more and serve him more wholeheartedly.
Prayer: Although Explore helps with specific prayer ideas from the passage, you

What Jesus must do Read Matthew 16 v 21-22 “From that time on…” marks a new direction in Matthew’s Gospel, as Jesus begins to teach his disciples what being the Christ will really mean, and what it will look like to follow him on a similar path.
y So what must Jesus do to fulfil being “the Christ, the Son of the living God”?
The wrong response Read Matthew 16 v 22-23 We last saw Jesus in conflict with Satan in Matthew 4 v 1-11, when Satan was trying to distract Jesus from doing what his Father sent him to do.
y At this moment, whose side is Peter on? Pause for a moment to consider just how serious it is to misunderstand what Jesus came to do. Resolve to listen carefully to what Jesus has to say about it!
The right response Read Matthew 16 v 24-26 Jesus has just said (verse 21) that the pattern of his life will be suffering and death followed by victory, vindication and life.
y So what’s the pattern for those who follow him?
r Apply We’re going to hear much more about what this means in practice over the next studies, but have you got the big idea? Jesus is saying that now is the time to follow him in self-denial and “losing life”, driven by the hope of “finding life” in the end (life guaranteed through his death given as a ransom, as we’ll discover in 20 v 28).
Matthew 16 v 21-28
1
We’re rejoining this Gospel in the middle of people’s failure to recognise who Jesus is. But Peter’s realised: he’s “the Christ, the Son of the living God” (16 v 16).
Tuesday 1 July
MATTHEW: The cross
y Which of the two paths Jesus describes are you on?
Who Jesus is Read Matthew 16 v 27-28 The “Son of Man” is Jesus’ favourite title for himself, especially when he’s talking about the victory he’s going to win for God’s people (fulfilling the role of “one like a son of man” in Daniel 7 v 13-14).
n Pray When Jesus spoke these words, the time of his resurrection victory after death was close (hence verse 28). This guarantees that those who “save” their lives now will be found wanting in future, but that those who have followed Jesus will be part of his victory. Ask God to help you live in a way that is consistent with that future being close and real.

Jesus has said: “Lose your life now to gain it later”. He is deadly serious. The time is short. But how can we really be sure that this is how things are?

Wednesday 2 July
Glory and faith A glimpse of glory Read Matthew 17 v 1-13
y What do Peter, James and John see? At the end of Matthew 16, Jesus promised that some of the disciples would see his victory as Son of Man before they died. We discover later in Matthew that this victory was won through Jesus’ death and resurrection. But here, three of them get to have a foretaste of his future glory, a glory that prophets like Moses and Elijah had longed to see (see 1 Peter 1 v 10-12). It’s terrifying, and the disciples want to hide from what they see, but it guarantees what Jesus has promised.
y What do Peter, James and John hear? y How do they react? The voice says: “Listen to him!”
y What was the last thing Jesus talked to the disciples about?
Once again, we see the seriousness of what Jesus has said in 16 v 21-28. Jesus must suffer, die and be raised. The disciples must follow in the same path and pattern. Here, we also see again the urgency. Things are coming to a head. Elijah has already come (in John the Baptist) to prepare the way (17 v 10-13).
y At what time will all this start to make sense, does Jesus suggest (v 9)?
n Pray We live in the time after the resurrection of Jesus. He reigns in glory—his victory over death has been won. Ask that you might see clearly how urgent and serious it is to listen to Jesus.
The need for faith Read Matthew 17 v 14-20 Back in Matthew 10 v 5, Jesus sent the twelve apostles out to proclaim the coming kingdom and display that by, among other things, driving out demons (v 8).
y So why are they now unable to do what he has asked them to do?
r Apply We may not be called upon to cast out demons, but what Jesus has called us to do is only possible through his power. In other words, following him has to be by faith— trusting him to do what we cannot do.
y Are there things you are trying to do in
order to serve Christ that you’re trying to achieve in your own strength?
Of course, the sign of this is very simple: prayerlessness. Stop now, and pray—that you would listen to Christ about how to live for him, and pray to Christ before you seek to serve him.

A question of taxes The second prediction In 16 v 27-28, Jesus began to explain that he must suffer and die and then be raised to life, and that his disciples must follow him in the same pattern.
Read Matthew 17 v 22-23
y Why does Jesus say it again, do you think?
Losing your life: first step Jesus has taught his disciples to follow him in the pattern of suffering followed by life, “for whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for me will find it” (16 v 25). But what does it really mean in practice to “lose your life”? That’s what we are going to find out much more about in Matthew 17 v 24 – 20 v 28.
Read Matthew 17 v 24-25 The temple tax was paid by all Jewish males over 20 years old to support the temple sacrifices in Jerusalem. The authorities claimed it was supported by the rules laid down for atonement money when God first gave his people his law…
Read Exodus 30 v 11-16
y What did the atonement money do for
Israelites who had been numbered in a census?
Read Matthew 17 v 26-27 Jesus seems to be saying to Peter that he is in such a privileged position as a son (with Jesus) of the kingdom that he doesn’t need to pay the temple tax. For him, something has replaced the temple sacrifice and someone else pays the atonement money to ransom his life. (We will discover who that is in Matthew 20 v 28!)
Matthew 17 v 22-27
3
No one likes paying taxes. But here, as Peter is challenged about whether Jesus pays his tax, there’s much more going on than a mere quibble over a tax return.
y Why then do they still pay the tax? It would seem that part of “losing your life” now is to give up some of your rights, so as not to give unnecessary offence to others. Proclaiming the kingdom is so important that we shouldn’t want to do things that would be a distraction. After all, we want to make it as easy as possible for people to enter the kingdom. The curious miracle in 17 v 27 perhaps suggests that God will always help his children to meet these social obligations.
r Apply As followers of Jesus, we are citizens of heaven and could argue that the demands of society shouldn’t apply to us. Think through some areas (such as paying taxes!) where this has been your attitude.
y How might your attitude need to change, for the sake of others?

A question of humility Be like a child Read Matthew 18 v 1-4
y What do you think is the attitude behind the disciples’ question in verse 1?
y According to Jesus, what attitude should they have?
Being “like a child” can’t be about sinlessness or purity, because children simply aren’t like that! But children are lowly and dependent on others. They are receivers rather than givers, and not “great” in a worldly sense at all. So to become “like a child” is to deny ourselves, give up any claim or boast, and to depend on Jesus alone.
Loving other “children” Read Matthew 18 v 5-6 True children (that is, humble followers of Jesus) welcome other children (v 5).
y But how serious is it if we don’t welcome one of these “little ones”? What is the warning if we cause God’s y children to sin (or stumble, NIV2011)? Jesus’ warning is very strong. This is a big millstone he is talking about—literally a “donkey-stone”, one so large that it took a donkey to move it.
Read Matthew 18 v 7-9
y In fact, how careful should we be about
If we stumble onto the other path Jesus has talked about, the one where we try to “save our lives” to gain what we can now, then the outcome will be destruction.
Read Matthew 18 v 10-14 Jesus returns to the issue of welcoming and caring for other “children” or “little ones”. Every single one is known to their Father, and their identity presented before him in heaven. Jesus explains the principle we should apply with a little parable. The one sheep who wanders weighs more heavily on the mind of the shepherd than the 99 who don’t.
y What success rate in keeping one
another going should we be aiming at? 60%? 80%? Or 100%? y Whose attitude would we then be adopting?
r Apply Think about the welcome and pastoral care at your church.
y Do they reflect these principles? If not,
what can you do personally to improve things?
n Pray Ask your heavenly Father for an attitude of humility like a dependent child, and an attitude of care for others like his.

We should care for other Christians, just as our Father does. But what if a church member does something damaging to others? What does care look like then?
Saturday Thursday 53 July October
A question of discipline Read Matthew 18 v 15-17
y Jesus outlines three stages of response to someone sinning in a church community. What are they?
Notice how careful Jesus calls us to be. Out of concern for the person who sinned, we give maximum opportunity for them to respond, and gradually draw in more and more people to call them to do so. Out of concern for the church community, we should at each stage do our best to contain the effect of the sin by being as discreet as possible. But we don’t allow the sin to remain undealt with.
y At any of the stages, what happens if
the person who sinned does listen and respond in repentance? y What’s the only stage at which some sort of punishment is exercised by the church? What is it? To treat someone as “a pagan or tax collector” is simply to treat them as an outsider— not part of the family. Why? Because that is what someone stubbornly unremorseful and unchanging in sin has declared themselves to be. But even that need not be the end of the story. Like any outsider, they can then come (back) into the church through faith in Jesus, seeking forgiveness and reconciliation.
TIME OUT
How does discipline work in your church?
y Might it be too hasty and heavy-handed,
not giving people enough time to listen and change? Or too slow or weak (or non-existent), so that the person sinning goes unchallenged and unchanged, and the effect of the sin continues to damage others in the community? What can you do personally to steer your y church gently towards the pattern Jesus commands?
Matthew 18 4v v15-20 Judges 1-16
Three instructions
Two assurances One of the reasons why many church families are slow or weak in exercising discipline is that we don’t feel we have the right or authority (especially as sinners ourselves).
Read Matthew 18 v 18-20 “Binding” and “loosing” is about exercising ethical instruction which has the authority of God behind it. When we as a church obey these instructions for discipline, because they are Jesus’ instructions, we are exercising heavenly authority, with our Father’s support, and Jesus is with us as we do it.
r Apply y Are you willing to support your church in its discipline? Even when you’re the wronged party, or the “wrong” party?

Fight the good fight
Psalm 108
What I will do Read Psalm 108 v 1-5 This is the song of someone whose “heart is steadfast” (v 1)—whose inner self has accepted God as Ruler, and who will not be turning back on that commitment.
y Where will the steadfast person praise God (v 3)?
y Why (v 4-5)? Here are the twin motives of evangelism. The LORD is loving and faithful—we long for the nations (whether living on our street, or a plane trip away) to hear that God, the one they are rejecting, stands ready to accept them. And the LORD deserves to be exalted and receive glory—we long for our God to receive from all people the respect he so richly deserves. But… if you’ve tried to sing God’s praises to the nations, you’ll know that the nations often don’t want to know. They often respond to the gospel with apathy or enmity. God’s people often look defeated, not victorious. So if we’re to keep living for and speaking of our Lord, we need to know what God is doing.
What God will do Read Psalm 108 v 6-13
y What has God said he will do (v 7)? The tribes of Israel belong to God (v 8).
y How does he use his people (v 8)? Verse 9 lists three great enemies of God’s people.
y What will God do with them? Verse 11 is a wonderfully realistic verse. David is at war with Edom (v 10), and he knows that only God can give him victory; yet God has “rejected us and no longer go[es] out with our armies” (v 11). Do you know that feeling? You’re engaged in the Lord’s work, taking risks and taking flak for him, yet all you seem to meet with is reversal and defeat. Don’t forget verses 7-9! God will triumph; we’re his equipment; we “shall gain the victory” (v 13), because it’s God’s victory. His timing is not always in line with our preferred schedule. His victory may seem agonisingly deferred to us. But it will come; and we will be part of how it comes. The nations will hear. The nations will kneel. Our God will receive glory. Read 2 Thessalonians 1 v 6-10.
r Apply y How do you need verse 13 to encourage you this week?
y Where have you met with defeat, and
yet need to keep advancing and trusting God to be bringing his eventual victory? Have you stopped “fighting” in some y way, and so you need to begin again?

How many times? Read Matthew 18 v 21-22
y So, how many times is it? But it’s unlikely that Jesus is suggesting even this exact number as a limit. It’s more likely that this is just a way of saying that our capacity for forgiveness should be unbounded. And to explain why, he tells a story…
The unmerciful servant
to forgive me.” And, for that, the master’s forgiveness is taken away.
Read Matthew 18 v 35
y So, why should our forgiveness of sins against us be unbounded?
TIME OUT
Matthew 18 v 21-35

Jesus has just said that if a Christian who sins repents, they have been won over, and are forgiven. But how many times can this happen? Surely eventually there’s a limit?
Monday 7 July
A question of forgiveness
Some things are fairly easy to forgive.
y When is it really hard to forgive? y Even in those hard cases, what is Jesus
saying about the relative size of our sin against God?
Read Matthew 18 v 23-34 A “talent” was the largest monetary unit in the first century and, in the days before modern physics and hyperinflation, 10,000 was the largest number people would use day by day. So Jesus says the servant has been forgiven the largest sum of money imaginable. The same man then refuses to forgive a debt of about 100 days’ wages (see Matthew 20 v 2). While substantial, this is negligible compared to the 10,000 talents.
y We instinctively feel this is wrong. Why is it wrong?
Certainly, the man is not imitating the generosity shown to him—but there’s more to it than that. The most serious thing going on here is that the servant is effectively saying to his master: “If I were you, I wouldn’t have done what you did for me. You were a fool
n Pray If you are finding it hard to forgive or to be ready to forgive (perhaps because the sin was especially grievous or hurtful), pray about it. Pray for a conviction of the seriousness of your own sin. Pray that you would be overwhelmed by the forgiveness you have received from God. Pray that you would be able to look upon the person who sinned against you with the kind of compassion with which God has looked upon you.
y Is there anything—perhaps something very hard—you need to forgive now, freely and joyfully, in light of this passage? Will you?

Tuesday 8 July
A question of divorce Marriage and divorce Read Matthew 19 v 1-3 As Jesus gets closer to Jerusalem, he begins to field some more hostile questions, questions designed to test him.
y What’s the issue these Pharisees want Jesus’ answer on? Why is it a testing question?
Read Matthew 19 v 4-6
y So, given his understanding of Genesis 2
v 24, is Jesus’ answer basically yes or no?
Read Matthew 19 v 7-9 These Pharisees are trying to trap Jesus. They have encouraged him to affirm the permanence of marriage from Genesis. But now they are trying to make him look opposed to the Law in Deuteronomy, which talks about issuing a “certificate of divorce”. Bible-believing Christians understand Jesus’ response here in a number of ways. The mainstream view is that Jesus is not in conflict with Moses, allowing divorce in the exceptional circumstance of “sexual immorality”, which most take to be adultery. These valid divorces exist because peoples’ hearts are hard and faithless. Apart from this exception, divorce amounts to adultery. Others say there are no exceptions. But either way, it’s clear that divorce is either unlawful or a deeply unsatisfactory last resort.
main point here: marriage was designed to be permanent, even if it’s difficult.
r Apply y What impact does that reminder need to have on you, in your particular circumstances, today?
Singleness Read Matthew 19 v 10-12 If marriage is to be permanent, the disciples wonder whether it might be better not to marry! Jesus responds that “not everyone can accept this word”, probably meaning what the disciples have just said about not marrying. Some might not marry and express their sexuality (be “eunuchs”, in other words), for a number of reasons. But not everyone. Only those who can accept it should say to themselves that it’s better not to marry.
n Pray It may be that (like most people) you have struggled with marriage, divorce or singleness in one way or another, and find the teaching in this section distressing. Pray about it now, bringing your distress before God, and remembering from 18 v 23-35 just how unbounded and absurdly generous the forgiveness of your Father is.

A question of eternity The last will be first Read Matthew 19 v 13-15 Jesus has already said we need to be like a child to enter the kingdom (ie: dependent and empty handed). He says something similar here, setting up a contrast with what follows…
The first will be last Read Matthew 19 v 16
y What is this man seeking? Who does he
think Jesus is? y Think back to v 24-25. What has Jesus already said about finding (eternal) life? Read Matthew 19 v 17-20
y Why is this surprising? Although this seems different to what Jesus said before, we should expect people on the path to life to want to be obedient to God’s commandments. And these commandments do expose something in this man. Notice that he can’t see what he lacks (v 20)—very different to being “like a child”.
Read Matthew 19 v 21-24
y How is this very similar to what Jesus has said before about finding life?
y As the man turns away, what “master” is he following, instead of following Jesus?
For a camel to go through the eye of a needle is impossible (v 24).
y Why is it impossible for people who are rich like this to enter the kingdom, do you think?
It’s important to say that the problem is not that this man is wealthy. It’s his love of money—he loves money more than he loves God or his neighbour. For him, denying himself would have meant giving up on that love. And he won’t do it.
Matthew 19 v 13-30
9
The reason we will give up everything now is that we are convinced that we will be given far more in the future.
The last will be first Read Matthew 19 v 25-30 The disciples can’t believe someone apparently so eligible would not be saved for eternal life.
y So how is it possible to find eternal life?
r Apply It’s easy to say that we are not like the man in this passage—but if you live in the west, you are wealthy in global and historical terms.
y So the question is: are you dependent on
your money? Would you really leave it all behind for Jesus? y What evidence is there in your bank balance for the answer you’ve just given? Pray now that you would not think too highly of, or care too deeply for, money and wealth, and that you would live with Jesus alone as your master. Bible in a year: Obadiah • Act 8 v 1-25

Thursday 10 July
The last will be first A day at the vineyard Read Matthew 20 v 1-7
y At each stage of the day, what is the deal the workers accept from the landowner?
“It’s not fair!” Read Matthew 20 v 8-16
y Imagine yourself as one of the workers
hired at the beginning of the day. Be honest—how would you feel as the same wage is given to all? y But is it actually unjust or unfair? TIME OUT
Think back to some of the characters we have encountered recently in Matthew. Children receive blessing and people with huge debts are forgiven, while Pharisees are rebuked and a rich man walks away.
y Is God acting unjustly? Unfairly? Or generously?
Jesus’ offer is the same to everyone: eternal life to anyone who comes to him, commits wholly to him and follows him. The offer comes, of course, from God the Creator, the “landowner” of the universe, free to distribute what is his as he wishes. The offer is given to rich and poor, old and young, relatively good and downright wicked. But the danger for those who think of themselves as “first” (eg: the rich or the relatively good) is
that they end up being “last” because they think they deserve life, or at least deserve more than others (eg: the poor or those who have been wicked). They walk away out of spite or envy.
r Apply The feeling that we have a right to certain things from God, or a right to better treatment than others, runs very deep! We may be able to think, say or sing that we come empty-handed to God, like a child, but then we find ourselves making a comment or doing something which reveals that deep down we are still very proud. Often our attitude is revealed when someone else is blessed in a way that we are not—and we react in anger and with envy.
y Does that describe you in any way? y Which episode from the last few days’
studies could you re-read, and meditate on, to remind yourself of who you are, and who Jesus is?
n Pray Ask God to bring things about that will get rid of the lurking pride in your heart, so that you might come to him genuinely empty-handed, “like a child”. This is a hard thing to pray, because the things that get rid of our pride are usually very painful. Be warned: if your prayer is answered it might well hurt. But pray it anyway.
