In Luke 9, there is an interesting tidbit that’s not in any of the other gospels.
A section in verse 31 in particular (NIV):
30Two men, Moses and Elijah, 31appeared in glorious splendor, talking with Jesus. They spoke about his departure, which he was about to bring to fulfillment at Jerusalem.
The other gospels only say that they [...]

Deuteronomy I found to be an extremely emotional and moving book, looking at how far the Israelites have come since leaving Horeb, reiterating and reinforcing the law, and ending with Moses’ death.
It consists of a number of heartfelt speeches given to the Israelites by Moses, and it gives some insight into some things I found [...]

Numbers is quite interesting, like Leviticus it delves a lot into the laws outlined, but rather than just listing and explaining them, it uses situations that arise in the Israelites journey to show the laws and how they affect the people of Israel.

Chapter 35 starts off with [...]

In chapter 18, Jethro, Moses’ father in law and the priest of Midian comes to visit after hearing everything that God is doing with the Israelites. In verses 13 to 26, after seeing how Moses is [...]

Exodus is an interesting book to read. As it’s name suggests, the main focus of the first half is on the oppression and the Israelites exodus of Egypt. It then covers the ten commandments, and then almost all of the second half is focused entirely on the development of the tabernacle.
I didn’t end up writing [...]

Just an interesting tidbit from Tony Knight’s sermon the other night in the youth program at the South NSW Seventh Day Adventist Big Camp at the Jindabyne Adventist Alpine Village.
God is hugely creative and likes a good story. So when you are following the path through the doors that God opens for you in your [...]
