The End - Gen. 49-50 & Matt. 13b

Wow, the end of the first book already! It hasn't even been a month and 50 chapters have zoomed by already...

I love the book of Genesis. So many interesting stories. From Creation, to the Fall of humanity, to the destruction of almost everything, to a chosen family through whom God would bless the world. Now that's a story!

Now we are about to head into Exodus. God's deliverance of the Israelites from the slavery they got into in the midst of the great Famine. Ya know, I don't think I ever realized that it was Joseph who put those people into slavery in the first place... But I'm looking forward to Exodus too, it's n interesting book as well. It's reassuring to see God hear His people's cry for help and His power as He takes on pharaoh and the Egyptians.

As for the New Testament, we will continue our way through the gosepl of Matthew. Today Jesus continued talk about the Kingdom of Heaven - one of the most discussed topics in the gospels and least talked about in our churches. May we come to understand and see the meaning and power of God's Kingdom here on earth and the part we play in it. His kingdom is here and now, we are simply blind to it.....kind of like the movie Matrix.

Which world will you choose...? Do you think ignorance is bliss or do you want to know the real deal and be part of it?
