New Testament Bible Reading Challenge

Week 14: Bible Reading Plan and Discussion
Starters
|
Welcome to The Salvation Army's Challenge to read the New Testament from beginning to end within one year, reading just 5 chapters per week.
We are now onto Week 14 of our New Testament Bible Reading Challenge
as we complete Luke's Gospel and move into the Gospel according to John.
Great Expectations: Expect God to speak
through the Scriptures, expect to learn new things about Him, and about
ourselves, and expect to read and absorb some familiar stories and passages.
Top Tip!
To get the most out of this challenge, start each daily reading with a short, simple, sincere prayer asking God to guide your thinking as you read. Then open the Bible and read slowly, with the aim of learning something new. After the reading, consider how it may affect your life and relationship with Jesus, and allow your increased knowledge of the Scriptures to shape your character and strengthen your trust in God.
Take your time - enjoy this opportunity - and may God bless you as you embark upon this New Testament Bible Challenge.

Monday, June 03, 2013 --- Luke 22 --- The Last Supper, before Jesus is betrayed, arrested, denied, and put on trial
- v19, during the Passover meal Jesus broke bread and told the disciples to 'do this in remembrance of Me'...how often do you think He meant? Just for that one occasion? Every week? Every day? Whenever we eat a Passover meal?
- v45 is interesting...it may be easy to assume the disciples let Jesus down by falling asleep despite their tiredness late at night, but can we sympathise more with the drowsiness that is caused by sorrow?
