To: Salvation

I’m attending a Matthew group. Right now we are at John the Baptist. The Bible is in two parts. Reading the NT gives me a better perspective of the OT. Reading the OT first left me isolated for meaning. The only reason [for me] to read the OT is to understand the mission of Jesus. I understand the Kingdom of God is not real estate but is reachable within us. If it were not for Jesus, the OT scripture would not be illuminated nor fulfilled. I hope our Church has one on Luke. In retrospect I would rather start with the Nativity than Genesis.

Is that the Jeff Cavins series? I started that one after Labor Day and I’m gettting so much out of it that it boggles my mind.
