The Life of Jesus

Day 46
OT Reading: Leviticus 20-21
NT Reading: Matthew 28

Congratulations. If you have never done it before, you have done it now. If you have kept up with our readings, you have read through one entire account of the life of Jesus. What is neat for me to consider is the idea that some early Christians may have ONLY had the account of Matthew. While we have the luxury of four gospels, Acts and lots of letters, imagine only having one or two letters and basing everything you know about following Jesus on those.

With all that in mind, I suppose there are some questions I'd like you to consider. Having now been through one entire account of Jesus life...what have you learned about Him? Do you see him any differently now than you did 47 days ago? What is your understanding about who Jesus is and who He wants you to be? What would you understand about him, if the book of Matthew were the only book you'd ever read about Him? And ultimately, if you are a follower of Jesus, what does He want from you?

Now don't worry about writing a paper for all of those questions. But as you stop and appreciate the accomplishment I hope you'll also take some time to reflect...and to examine yourself and what all has happened to you in this journey.
