to investigate Jesus Christ

vs 6. I love "The Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins..." COOL!!! Even before he died and the sins were covered with his blood, he had the authority to forgive them :D

vs30: Why did he tell the healed blind men not to tell anyone?

The first little section really sticks out to me (it's titled "Judging Others" in my edition: vs 1-6). It's a reminder to me to worry about myself, not others. Even with my husband, I have to remember in any conflict, we are BOTH wrong.
Vs 29 REALLY sticks out to me too: Jesus was UNLIKE anything the people had seen or heard before!

I love the Lord's prayer. Unfortunately it seams to have been flippantly said too many times. I like the format:

  1. Praise God 
  2. Ask for only what you need
  3. Ask for forgiveness, but only as much as you've forgiven others.
  4. Ask for guidance.

vs. 24: I can't tell you how many time I have to check my heart, and seek forgiveness before I pray. Seams to be a daily thing LOL

vs 16-17 is one of my favorite scriptures. It's the first time we see the holy trinity (Father, Spirit, and Son) Cool! :D

About this blog

Jesus Christ is the most central figure in History!

IF it is true that Jesus was the Son of God who intentionally gave his life to die on the cross for us and rose again,

THEN is is also true that each of us will face Jesus after we die.

Sadly, most people on accept "Hearsay" about Jesus. They form their opinions from 1-2 religious seasons or by hearing a lot of opinions and NOT from a careful investigation of his life.

  • It would be sad NOT to believe in Jesus Christ based on "Hearsay" about Jesus.

  • It is ALSO sad to BELIEVE in Jesus Christ based on "Hearsay" about Jesus.

Neither conclusion is a healthy way to respond to the most important subject you will ever face.

The goal of this challenge and blog is to give each person time, respect, tools and encouragement to investigate Jesus Christ for themselves.

This is just a list of my comments on my daily reading. I am human, so there are bound to be some mistakes! Please don't go by my 'hearsay', but research everything for yourself!! Feel free to add your own comments. Please no debates or preaching this is just for your notes too.
