We start this week's readings in Deuteronomy chapter 6 which has in verse 5 what Jesus calls the first and greatest commandment - 'Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength.' A challenge to us all.
We continue reading through Deuteronomy this week and also finish the book of 2 Corinthians. In these latter chapters of 2 Corinthians Paul seems to change his tone and mounts a defense of his ministry. In 2 Corinthians 11:23-33 Paul describes the many difficult events he has been through on his journey with Christ. Following Christ doesn't guarantee us us an easy life!
We also now start the book of Galatians which I tend to think of as Paul's angry letter. He is upset with the Galatians as they seem to be going back to relying on the law instead of faith in Christ.
Enjoy your readings and I look forward to your comments!
