Here is the audio version of our daily readings from our daily reading plan Knowing Him for January 4th, 2022.
Today, I (Pastor Brandon) find it interesting the interconnected nature of the whole narrative of the Bible, showing us God is indeed a God who weaves history together. What I mean by this is when you look at Genesis and the downward spiral of humanity in sin, the constant direction they head is east of Eden. This is a trend you will see time and time again. Even more so, Babylon is said to reside where? In the east. Time and time again we see humanity moving further east from Eden. Further east from life. Further east from God.
However, there is a turn of events upon the birth of Christ, which way do we see humanity travelling. We see them travelling west to come and worship Christ the King. Jesus truly changes our direction. Do not tell me God doesn’t have a plan for redemption.
Psalms 3
Genesis 3-4
Matthew 2:1-12
