Exodus is about salvation. It tells the story of God saving man from slavery. Sometimes God has to go to incredible lengths to reveal his power, but it's all worth it because he hears the cries of his people and he has to do something. God's power could be revealed through incredible earth-shattering miracles in the most powerful nation on earth or through a simple burning bush in the middle of nowhere to a lowly shepherd. God's power is found in His words and promises. There is also power in God's commands. He wants us to live a righteous life so outsiders can understand a righteous God...

Deuteronomy means "second law" which covers the time Moses explained the law (revealed first in Exodus and Leviticus) a second time to the people. After being on the Mount Sinai for two forty day periods, Moses came down from the mountain and told the people how God wanted them to live. Now, forty years later, after wandering through the desert (the book of Numbers) as punishment to the generation that didn't believe that God could help them overcome the enemies living in the Promised Land, Moses stood on the border of Jordan and Israel, east of the Jordan River. At the time of Deuteronomy,...

The first Gospel book begins the introduction to Jesus Christ. Matthew, a Jew, painstakingly offers Old Testament confirmation that Jesus was the Promised One, the Messiah, prophesied by scriptures, who presented Himself on this earth. You may not be a Jew, but you have to appreciate what Matthew laid out in his Gospel. Proof. Prophets teed up the clues about Jesus' life, then Jesus arrived to fulfill them one-by-one. Matthew wanted to say, "He's here " As you are PRAYING THROUGH MATTHEW, focus on what God did to bring his Son in the world. This moment was 2,000 years in the making and when...

Using his schooling and research abilities, Dr. Luke set out to give an "orderly account" based on his careful "investigation" of the life of Christ. Who did he interview? Apparently Mary since he included facts about the birth of Jesus nobody else mentioned. Apparently the apostles since he's included a wide range of information and new stuff nobody else talked about. Luke may never have met Christ in the flesh, but his account revealed a close connection to Him based on the stories he heard. It's all he needed to start a relationship with Christ. As you pray through Luke, investigate your...

John is unlike any other Gospel. He has a clear objective in this fourth book of the New Testament - to show that Jesus is God and he does it by highlighting seven miracles to show that Jesus has power over material objects, earthly events and life or death. John also includes seven "I am" statements, describing Jesus as bread, a shepherd, a gate and the way to an eternal relationship with His Father. Clearly Jesus knew who He was and He wants us to know it too. John didn't need the other Gospels to help Him document His time with Jesus. Those three years clearly impacted this former...
