Today's Reading - May 9, 2010

1 Samuel 5:1-7:17
John 6:1-21
Psalm 106:13-31
Proverbs 14:32-33


Question of the day: We are reading the fourth book of the gospels. Why would God want the story of Jesus' life told four times?

The Gospels are told from four different perspectives: Matthew, the tax collector who wrote for the better educated Jews; Mark, who wrote down what he heard from other apostles and whose audience was common Gentiles; Luke, an historian who talked to eyewitnesses and wrote the more educated Gentiles; and John, an apostle and eyewitness who would have experience things with Jesus that other wouldn't have.
