As of today, we've read through most of the Gospels. It has been so neat to read through the Gospels - one right after the other. It's certainly helped to cement some of the parables into my memory!
So, what has struck you most by reading through Matthew, Mark and most of Luke this past week? Have you noticed any themes that struck you?
One things that stood out for me, was how many times Christ talked about faith. As much as Christ taught about Himself, God' purposes and what is right, He taught a lot about faith. There are numerous passages this past week where Christ directly deals with the issue of faith:
Matthew 8:10, Matthew 9:12, Matthew 9:22, Matthew 9:22, Matthew 15:28, Matthew 17:20, Matthew 21:21, Matthew 23:23, Mark 2:5, Mark 4:40, Luke 5:20, Luke 7:9, Luke 7:50, Luke 8:25, Luke 8:48, Luke 17:5, Luke 17:6, Luke 17:19, Luke 18:18 and Luke 18:24.
Christ taught about faith. He loved those who had faith. He healed those who had faith. He wants us to have faith. He saves those with faith. And He wants us to grow in our faith.
"Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for,
the conviction of things not seen."
