This is Day 2 of my 30 day journey through the New Testament. Today I found myself looking at a lot of good stuff, but I had to pick only a few things to write about. So I chose to write about 4 topics. Purpose, Plot, Parables and Faith. If you want to read what I discovered click on into this blog post.

Today’s reading was Matthew Chapters 1 through 9. I was able to read these on my lunch break on my iPhone, which may end up being how I read most of the New Testament during this 30 day journey. This reading took me from Jesus birth into his ministry beginnings.

Some of my readers may remember my 90 Day adventure through the Bible. Well it ended up being a 90 day adventure through the Old Testament. It was an amazing journey and is one of the highlights of my personal relationship with God. Somehow soon after finishing the Old Testament I got hung up and wasn’t able to move beyond Matthew during that read through.

About one month ago we placed a tree in our living room to remind us of something amazing. We placed a star on the top of the tree and wrapped it in lights. All of this to remind us of a time when the stars guided some wise men to a very special child. So just as these Wisemen were guided by the stars long ago our hearts are guided by the lights on this tree today, to see this very special child during this season. It is only a few days away from when our celebration of this child will begin, yet our celebration for this child shall also never end. Let me share with you the real story of Christmas.

Tony Morgan wrote a very thought provoking list yesterday. His list is ‘10 Reasons I Don’t Like Most Christians’.
