So here I am, the person who put the whole order together for the weeks we would study each book of the Bible, and then I didn't even read it this week. I just jumped right into Numbers, which isn't something to get very excited about jumping into, when all along I had scheduled for us to be reading Mark, book 41. Whether you are reading Numbers or Mark, I hope that you are finding the readings insightful, and that I haven't brought too much confusion to this whole thing! I initially chose Mark for this week, since we just started our series on Jesus as rabbi, prophet, healer, and savior. So please, do spend time reading through Mark. Matthew is ordered first in the New Testament, but Mark was written first. So Mark is the first written gospel account of the life and times of Jesus! You will notice it's much shorter than Matthew, Luke, and John. I consider it like this: the writer of Mark just wanted to get the basic gist of the story down, then other writers were able to expand and embellish once the primary story had been put into writing. I hope you enjoy, and again, I'm sorry for the confusing reflections on Caleb. You won't find Caleb mentioned at all in Mark, just Numbers :)
