Well, well, well. You are about to complete Deuteronomy and Mark. Job well done. But, keep reading.
In the coming week you will begin reading Joshua and Luke.
Joshua is a turning point. The Israelites will no longer be landless wanderers. They will be a people with a place to be, the promised land. Joshua tells the story of this transition.
Luke is the perfect gospel to be reading as we approach Christmas. One of portions unique to Luke's gospel is the narrative of Jesus' birth. Other distinguishing marks of Luke are his lengthy travel accounts and his deep concern for the marginalized and the dispossessed.
Luke's message is salvation. Jesus has come to restore Israel as a light to the nations so that all may be saved by grace through Abraham-like faithfulness..
Peace.
