A One Year Challenge

to investigate Jesus Christ

vs 5: It intrigues me that the demon possessed man cut himself. That seams to be a common problem among some teenagers now days.... hm?

vs 7: Even the demons knew who Jesus was.

vs 8 & 12: Demons = evil spirit? Are they one in the same?

vs 18-20: after the pig herders begged Jesus to leave, he did! But the healed, previously demon-possessed man stayed behind as a witness.

vs 34: Did some research on the word "Healed" the Greek form that was here is actually "saved".  She received both physical healing and spiritual salvation... AWESOME!

vs 40: Could you imagine laughing at Christ... ug.

vs13: Jesus seamed to have started with the most basic parable. If we can't understand the parable of the sower how can we expect to understand any of the rest?

vs34: How privileged we are that we get to see the explanations to most of the parables.

vs4 Seams to be very similar to me as the time with Mary Magdalene: "He who is with out sin cast the first stone"

vs5: Even Jesus was Angry and deeply distressed... It's not wrong to be angry, it what you do with that anger.

vs6: Interesting that the Pharisees and Herodians, strong enemies, would work together.

vs29: Scares me silly. Makes me always double think before I judge someone. The one unforgivable sin.

vs 14: Here Matthew is referred to as Levi. My notes say Levi was probably his given name and Matthew was his apostolic name.

vs27: How nice that the 'laws' were made for our benefits, not us made for the 'laws' :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.
