Day 124...(Deuteronomy 32; Psalm 124; Matthew 1)..."Matthew Begins!"

Whew!!! We made it to the New Testament! When I arranged this reading schedule, I decided to start the new year with Matthew. A new year represents a great time for pick up new readers with resolutions to read through the Bible each day. How about reading through the New Testament in 2010?

Matthew opens with a focus on genealogy. Notice the orderly account of fourteen generations from Abraham to David, David to exile, and exile to Jesus. After this long wait for Jesus can we imagine how precious the word are...

"The virgin will be with child and will give birth to a son, and they will call him Immanuel"—which means, "God with us."

What a great thought for 2010! God is with us! Amen!
