Week of September 30 – October 6
Bible Reading
After a brief wrap-up of the Old Testament story in day 1, we will move into the New Testament, in which Jesus established a new covenant between God and people. We will begin the third and final Act of the Bible’s grand story, “God’s New Covenant People.” As you read this week, think about ways Jesus fulfilled the longing for God’s true King that we saw in the Old Testament. From the reactions of those around him, we will also see that Jesus came as an unexpected Messiah – people of his day did not expect the Messiah to do things the way Jesus did. It will take us about six weeks to work our way through the four Gospels. Tracking with the parallels in these wonderful books will seem choppy at points as we skip to various passages in Matthew and Luke. As you read, look for common themes and unique emphases in the different Gospels. Ask God to speak to you through the life of Jesus.1
