Matthew 1 tells of the spiritual genealogy of Jesus, starting with Abraham. Joseph was of the kingly line of David and he; not being the physical father, adopted Jesus after having a dream that it was okay to take Mary as his wife. It then tells of the birth of Jesus. It also tells of Mary remaining a virgin until after Jesus’ birth.

Exodus 14 describes the miraculous crossing of the Red Sea and how the pursuing Egyptian army drowned.

Exodus 15 contains the songs of Moses and Miriam as God delivered them from the Egyptians. As the wandering began they arrived at the bitter waters of Marah and the sweet waters of Elim.

The genealogy of Jesus in Matthew is from the kingly line of David, starting with Abraham. However, God declared the kingly line cut off and there will never be another king from David’s line. This is why it is so important that Jesus was adopted by Josef. Joseph was in line for the kingdom, but ineligible. Jesus was conceived by the Holy Spirit, which made him eligible to be both King and God. The genealogy according to Luke is the genealogy of Mary, also of the line of David, but not the kingly line. It starts with Adam, establishing Jesus as man.

Luke 2:1-20. The birth of Jesus is so well known that even Charles Schulz’ Peanuts tell of the Birth of Jesus, and the Shepherds and the Angels.

March 23, read through the Holy Bible in a year in Power-point, with comments.

Continuing with Luke and Lent today there are one chapter of Luke to read, but also two chapters of Deuteronomy.

March 23: Luke 2, Deuteronomy 24, Deuteronomy 25 (click on the chapter to begin reading)

Luke 2 is so well known that even the Peanuts tell of the Birth of Jesus and the Shepherds and the Angels. Beginning in 2015 many school districts banned it because of the biblical quotes. Some replaced it with Frosty the Snowman, something we all can believe in. The chapter continues with telling of Jesus in the Temple, Simeon’s and Anna’s testimonies, and Jesus at age 12, also in the Temple. Read it and marvel.

Deuteronomy 24 tells of Divorce Laws and limitations for remarriage, Leprosy, Lending Laws, how to properly pay workmen, and after harvest please leave the gleanings.

Deuteronomy 25 tells of the marriage duty of a surviving brother, how to weigh with honest measures, and, totally unrelated, destroy the Amalekites.
