Good morning,
So, how is your Bible reading going? In the Old Testament, we have traveled a long way. We began with creation in Genesis 1 and are now into the kings and leaders in the history books. In the New Testament, we are only into the third gospel, written by Luke.
As you have been reading, what has made you angry or sad, or even happy? Is there anything that has made you laugh? I find some of the parables funny. If you have read the Old Testament, are there stories that you have seen that you wonder why they are in there?
The Bible is a complex book of history, parable, poetry, genealogy and stories. What have you enjoy most about the reading? Have you understood the full story of God just a little better?
What has God been telling you through your reading? Has it changed your life or changed the way you believe in God? Do you understand what Jesus is asking of us as a church as you read about him in the Gospels. The Gospel writers want us to believe in Jesus. Have you believed more now after reading Mark, Matthew and Luke about Jesus?
Keep reading. Keep believing. Keep challenging your own faith.
Shalom and strength for your journey of life and faith.
Fred
