Well this has taken me longer then expected but I wanted to just through out a couple things that I have found since I have been reading.
It has been great to get in the word and go through it from front to back. I don't remember the last time I did something like this. One thing that I keep thinking is how fast things really unfold when reading. So often we read one story and jump some place else and don't ever get a good idea of time line. In the reading today I was surprised to see again the Beheading of John the Baptist then right into feeding the 5000. Jesus was trying to mourn and never really had time to grieve the loss of a friend.
It has also been fun to re-read the parables and just get the important things of Christ through simple stories. When reading that only those who believe will understand this it makes me feel a little more confident in my faith because I do understand what he is talking about.
The stories of all the people who just had faith and there family was healed is amazing to me. I often think what if we had faith like that today. I know that I don't often times believe that is possible today but part of me just wonders what could this World be like if we could just catch a glimpse of that again. Christ could turn this place upside down, but I also don't really know if we would believe it. Would we dismiss it as false teaching and things? I don't know just some of my thoughts in reading.
One final thing that I forgot about is how often Christ dealt with demon possession. It was so prevalent in that day and time. Do you think it is still that big today. I am sure there are places it is but I also thank God that I have never really had to experience that or deal with that. I don't know what I would do or how to go about it. That was not a class I took in Bible College
Well I hope you keep on reading. I have loved doing this and will continue to make it a point each day. This has been a great refresher but I also see Satan using this against me so be on guard for how Satan will use scripture against you and take it out of context or distort is.
Have a blessed Day
