i was taking time to read thru matthew. and i think i havent read thru in one reading for a very long time. its interesting how things and new insights that will unfold if you do that!
its like revisiting your old textbook, now that we have grown up more both spiritually and intellectually. it does make that difference.
new questions popped into my mind. like why Jesus always talked in parables. he explained why one of the verses too. reading and reminding myself of the journey that He took, the miracles that he did, the way he challenged the Pharisees in such wit and power!
one of the chapters i am thinking about is in chapter 18 where Jesus met the canaanite woman (woman of great faith)
i felt it was quite controversial at first. how He said he was "sent only to the lost sheeps of ISRAEL" and all. maybe someone could discuss that with me. i have some theological conclusions but i think its interesting to talk about these stuff and then finally conclude that our God is a God of wonder and love and ....
point is. revisit your bible. read it like you would to a nice storybook once in a while. you'll definitely see new things!
cheers bros
