Reflecting on God's Word
Reflecting God to the World
June 25, 2017
THANKS!
Thank you to all who helped organize the meal today. Thank you to all who brought food and/or stayed and ate with us all.
BIBLE READING
Feel free to use this chart to help you read through the New Testament. It's only 1 chapter a day for 5 days a week.
| Day | Reading |
| Monday | Colossians 4 |
| Tuesday | Philemon |
| Wednesday | Luke 1 |
| Thursday | Luke 2 |
| Friday | Luke 3 |
· Colossians 4:16 – Interesting…What epistle is Paul referring to? Ephesians? Some other epistle?
· Philemon 11 – Perhaps Paul is using a play on words, as Onesimus' name means "Useful."
· Luke 1:46-55 – Mary refers to Hannah's song of Thanksgiving.
· Luke 2:22 happened 34 days after the circumcision, or 42 days after the birth of Christ.
· Luke 2:24 – This offering indicates that Jesus' earthly family was poor.
· Luke 3:6 – All flesh includes Gentiles. Luke is writing primarily to Gentiles.
· Luke 3:38 – Luke traces Jesus' lineage to Adam in order to show the Gentiles that Jesus is the savior of all people.
