Scripture Challenge - Day 39, 40, 41, 42

Day 39 -- Luke 4:31-44

Verse 40, "As the sun went down that evening, people throughout the village brought sick family members to Jesus.  No matter what their diseases were, the touch of his hand healed every one."

Day 40 -- Luke 5:1-11

Verse 11, "And as soon as they landed, they left everything and followed Jesus."  Check out 1-10 to see what they landed from. :)

Day 41 -- Matthew 5:1-48

These verses are a beautiful example of the teachings of Jesus as he traveled.  He explains the laws of God that are to be followed, and explains them with example so that everyone understands how these laws should be taken and carried out.  And also explains all the blessings that will be ours from our Father God.

Verses 11-12, "'God blesses you when people mock you and persecute you and lie about you and say all sorts of evil things against you because you are my followers.  Be happy about it!  Be very glad!  For a great reward awaits you in heaven.  And remember, the ancient prophets were persecuted in the same way.'"

Day 42 -- Matthew 6:1-34

More teachings from Jesus on behavior when giving and praying.  To not be boastful or hypocritical and to always be sincere in your doings and in prayer.  He teaches us how to pray, privately and honestly, because our Father already knows our needs and what is in our hearts.  Tells us to not store earthly treasures, serve one God, and to be thankful for all we have, without worry.

Verse 33, "Seek the Kingdom of God above all else, and live righteously, and He will give you everything you need."

Have a great day! xoxo
