RS 235 Jesus Life and Legacy

So this term I’m taking an RS course about Jesus’ life in the gospels.   A few days ago, I had an assignment that I had to do.  Basically, we had to compare three accounts of the same event (Matthew 12:22-32//Mark 3:20-30//Luke 11:14-23).

I’ve gone over and looked at overviews of the gospels in the past, but I don’t think I’ve really spent this much time look, comparing and explaining the differences between the authors, their purpose/theme of writing, their style and how it all affected the way they explained and wrote down an event in the gospels.  It’s just great that we have four different accounts of Jesus’ life and teachings which all emphasize different themes.

I was actually supposed to read the gospels in one sitting too (one at a time, not all four at once haha), but I haven’t yet.  =P

Anyways, I’m liking the course so far, though the lectures are a bit of a pain to go through haha; a little slow.

I want to post thoughts, like I said last week, but I also don’t want to post w/o organizing my thoughts properly and making it biblically sound.  And then, I don’t plan time to do so.  So what happens is I end up NOT having time to blog..goooossh

So I’ll just share this link to an article of Jon Acuff’s…that I’m sure everyone who reads this has dealt with…

OK, I gotta get myself to start blogging again!

It’s been a long time since I last blogged, for multiple reasons.  I wasn’t in school the last term and was isolating myself and I was lazy too.  But I’m back in school this term, and there were a lot of times when I wanted to just write stuff down into blog form but never did it.

I’m going to try to do one blog post a week now based on stuff I’m learning have learnt in the past months, or conversations/sermons I’ve had.  One each week will give me time to put enough research into it and hopefully have more biblical references…. at least that’s the plan.

Basic stuff that I might write about, roughly:

1. Desires, satisfaction in God not self
2. Faith and anxiety
3. Godly sorrow and repentance
4. Grace, trust in Christ not yourself
