Gospels in January

Gospels In January

Fifty of my friends (near and on-line) READ THE GOSPELS in January. I wanted to learn more about the time that Jesus was here on Earth and to see how He reacted to situations, hear the words He used, and to feel His presence in God’s kingdom. In Matthew, I learned about how a Jewish audience would hear the news that Jesus was Israel’s long-awaited Messiah and King. In Mark, I learned about the Jesus and His “immediate” reactions that emphasized Jesus as a Servant. In Luke, I read of Jesus as the Son of Man and his healing ministry, and in John, I felt the deity of Christ. Taken together, I found in the four Gospels a complete portrait of the God-Man, Jesus.

I kept a daily reading list, carving out a word or phrase that struck me with special meaning. I had a hard time choosing just “one” phrase some days when many words jumped off the page. If you didn’t join me in January, would you consider taking the same pilgrimage in February by just changing the dates? You’ll complete your readings by March 3. Here’s a link if you’d like to start your own Gospel Pilgrimage and record the phrases where God is speaking to you.

It is a pleasant and captivating journey to study Jesus' life on Earth!
