Today's Reading - January 12, 2010

GENESIS 26:17-27:46
MATTHEW 9:1-17
PSALM 10:16-18
PROVERBS 3:9-10


Today's question: What does a wedding have to do with fasting?

The Jews often used fasting to call God's attention to themselves as a way to get prayers answered. Jesus used the image of the wedding, which would have been vivid in their minds, to show that they had God's attention through His Son, and that they should also be celebrating while He was with them.

What questions do you have?
