Luke 3 and 4

I can only handle 2 chpts a day I think.

What I find interesting:

-that Jesus came from Adam! The Geneology was very interesting as I ran through the names down the family line. How cool that is!

-we spoke about this next point during the last session @ CG. THe questions were asked " How did Jesus exhibit wisdom in this scenerio? What would have happened if he had not done what he did?

In his encounter with Satan after enduring 40 days in the wilderness, Jesus was hungry, and prolly weak from the ordeals, because afterall, he is human, just like us. Satan was smart. He used what was written in the word of God to entice Jesus to submit to him, but Jesus knew the heart of his father, so he was able to use the word of God appropriately to refute and rebuke Satan.

That's why the bible says, even the evil spirits believe in God, and they shudder. So does believing in God means something?

Knowing who God is and even believing in Him and making the deliberate choice of receiving Him as Lord and Saviour are two different matters though they are on the same scale. Just that Knowing who God is a prerequsite for most people to receive Him into their lives. We learnt that in IDT. It's called the Engel's Scale.

I am tired and so seem like I am blabbering. Soray. Time to sleep.
