These last ten days of our month of devotions are beginning to repeat a lot of the same teachings that we have already covered.
Have you ever wondered why there are four books of the Bible that are dedicated to the life and teachings of Jesus? Now days, most of us are more familiar with the New Testament than we are with the Old Testament. We teach more lessons from the New Testament and find more ways to apply the New Testament to our lives, but the New Testament is very short. And the first four books of the New Testament are basically the same (they tell many of the same stories, each from a different point of view).
Why did God think it was necessary to repeat the stories about Jesus and His teachings four times? I think it was because we are so stubborn.
Think about how many times in these 30 days that we have read the Gospel message of salvation. Jesus gave out His wisdom in little stories so that people could understand things that are not of this world. And He repeated Himself a lot because we needed to hear it over and over for it to make a dent in our thick heads.
For the last ten of these devotions, I would love for you to leave a comment about what you have learned in the past 30 days with Jesus.
Thanks for reading!
