Lent Day 19...Day 188 (2 Samuel 9,10; Luke 18,19)..."A Crash Course in Christianity"

If you read Luke 18 and 19 together you get a crash course in Christianity. (Read Luke 19 also in today's reading as it was left out of the reading plan). How is this like a crash course? Here are the traits.

#1 Persistence (Persistent Widow)

#2 Humility (Sinners prayer..."Lord have mercy on me a sinner")

#3 Childlike teachable (Entering the Kingdom with a childlike spirit)

#4 Willingness to serve (Give all you have to the poor to the rich man)

#5 Repentance (Zacchaeus paying back those he had shorted four times)

#6 Using what God gives you (parable of the talents)

#7 Keeping our faith on track (cleansing of the temple)
