Hey everyone!

Just to be clear, this isn't meant to be any kind of debate/discussion, just a simple question of which gospel you prefer reading. I'm trying to decide which one to read tomorrow, and so I'm making a poll to help me decide.

God Bless,

Keilan

Ooops! I hit the wrong key and now I cannot vote!

I just finished reading the four gospels and am now starting to read John once again (on a reading schedule)...and John seems to be my favourite. No reason in particular.

I think I'd have to go for Luke. More than any other gospel, Luke attempts to show the difference between Jesus and the legalistic righteousness of the Pharisees. When you see the Pharisees ignoring a man who needs help just because he needs it on the Sabbath, and then you see Jesus saying (paraphrased, obviously) "sod the rules - be loving to your neighbour", it really throws into light what Jesus meant in giving us the two greatest commandments, and how the Law and Prophets all hang off those two laws (Love God, Love your neighbour).

Aha!!! I found a way to vote! I just log out and come back as my alter ego!

So, John is my choice, and I do have a thought as to why...

When Jesus announced a betrayer in the midst at the supper, it is described how Peter signalled to John for Him to find out why. John, who was at Jesus' bosom, leaned back upon Him and privately whispered, "Who is it, Lord?" To which Jesus indicated.

Now that shows me such intimacy. John is leaning against Him, and speaking to Him so closely and so intimately that no one could hear.

I wish for such intimacy with Jesus! In this passage, it leaped off the page at me to teach me that we do have that very same relationship with Him--if we so desire it, and seek Him above all else. As John is known as the disciple whom Jesus loved ( I know He loved them all), I am keenly aware that we need to cultivate an intimacy with Jesus through His Holy Spirit...

Have a Blessed Easter, all! :th_praying:

Luke, I just like the flow and detail in it.

I like John because of the depth of theology found there, and the focus on helping people come to belief in Jesus

    • You are coming up higher in this season – above the assignments of character assassination and verbal arrows sent to manage you, contain you, and derail your purpose. Where you have had your dreams and sleep robbed, as well as your peace and clarity robbed – leaving you feeling foggy, confused, and heavy – God is, right now, bringing freedom back -- now you will clearly see the smoke and mirrors that were set to distract you and you will disengage.

      Right now God is declaring a "no access zone" around you, and your enemies will no longer have any entry point into your life. Oil is being poured over you to restore the years that the locust ate and give you back your passion. This is where you will feel a fresh roar begin to erupt from your inner being, and a call to leave the trenches behind and begin your odyssey in your Christ calling moving you to bear fruit that remains as you minister to and disciple others into their Christ identity.

      This is where you leave the trenches and scale the mountain to fight from a different place, from victory, from peace, and from rest. Now watch as God leads you up higher above all the noise, above all the chaos, and shows you where you have been seated all along with Him in heavenly places where you are UNTOUCHABLE. This is where you leave the soul fight, and the mind battle, and learn to fight differently.

      You will know how to live like an eagle and lead others to the same place of safety and protection that God led you to, which broke you out of the silent prison you were in. Put your war boots on and get ready to fight back! Refuse to lay down -- get out of bed and rebuke what is coming at you. Remember where you are seated and live from that place.

      Acts 1:8 - “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses … to the end of the earth.”

    • George Whitten, the visionary behind Worthy Ministries and Worthy News, explores the timing of the Simchat Torah War in Israel. Is this a water-breaking moment? Does the timing of the conflict on October 7 with Hamas signify something more significant on the horizon?

    • Understanding the Enemy!

      I thought I write about the flip side of a topic, and how to recognize the attempts of the enemy to destroy lives and how you can walk in His victory!

      For the Apostle Paul taught us not to be ignorant of enemy's tactics and strategies.

      2 Corinthians 2:112  Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices. 

      So often, we can learn lessons by learning and playing "devil's" advocate.  When we read this passage,

      Mar 3:26  And if Satan rise up against himself, and be divided, he cannot stand, but hath an end. 
      Mar 3:27  No man can enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he will first bind the strongman; and then he will spoil his house. 

      Here we learn a lesson that in order to plunder one's house you must first BIND up the strongman.  While we realize in this particular passage this is referring to God binding up the strongman (Satan) and this is how Satan's house is plundered.  But if you carefully analyze the enemy -- you realize that he uses the same tactics on us!  Your house cannot be plundered -- unless you are first bound.   And then Satan can plunder your house!

    • Daniel: Pictures of the Resurrection, Part 3

      Shalom everyone,

      As we continue this study, I'll be focusing on Daniel and his picture of the resurrection and its connection with Yeshua (Jesus).

    • Abraham and Issac: Pictures of the Resurrection, Part 2
      Shalom everyone,

      As we continue this series the next obvious sign of the resurrection in the Old Testament is the sign of Isaac and Abraham.

      Gen 22:1  After these things God tested Abraham and said to him, "Abraham!" And he said, "Here I am."
      Gen 22:2  He said, "Take your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains of which I shall tell you."

      So God "tests" Abraham and as a perfect picture of the coming sacrifice of God's only begotten Son (Yeshua - Jesus) God instructs Issac to go and sacrifice his son, Issac.  Where does he say to offer him?  On Moriah -- the exact location of the Temple Mount.
