Often I hear people ask why God has not answered their prayers. This can always be a difficult situation since we often do not know the mind of God and what his greater purposes might be.
In the book of Luke, Jesus gives a brief lesson regarding prayer after the famous passage known as the ‘Lords Prayer’. I want to look at the lesson Jesus gave after this prayer.
The Book of Luke has always been my favorite gospel account. I love how Luke is an outsider. He wasn’t one of the disciples. So, he tells the story of Jesus life as an outsider, explaining in more detail various events and filling in the gaps from some of the other gospel accounts. I am also very fond of the fact that he took time and effort to investigate about Jesus, he didn’t just sit down and start writing what he had heard.
Yesterday and today I read the book of Mark on my iPhone through the course of the day. My big question from the book of Matthew has still been very much on my mind as I have been focusing on the words in the book of Mark.
On Christmas and today I finished reading the book of Matthew. But today I write with only a question. It is something I have thought about before but have never come to a clear consensus with my own thoughts on.
Today we celebrate the birth of our savior!
