The Cohesiveness of Scripture

When you read the Bible readings for day two of the Discipleship Journal Bible Reading Plan (which the church has made available), consider how everything fits together... 

In Genesis 3 - We read of the Fall of Man. As God states the consequences for sin, He tells the serpent that the offspring of the woman will bruise his head (Gen 3). This is a foreshadowing of Jesus' defeat of Satan in the cross and resurrection.

In Psalm 2 - We read that the Lord's Anointed is the One who rules over all, and that we must humble ourselves before the Son in order to avoid His wrath!

In Matthew 1:18-25 - We learn the name of the offspring of the woman, the identity of the Lord's Anointed - it's Jesus - the Son of Man and the Son of God.

In Acts 1:12-26 - We read that a band of Apostles will carry on the ministry and the message of the resurrected One, Jesus!

Church, when you read through Scripture, take time to meditate (think deeply on) what you read. Take time to make connections with other passages of Scripture. Take time to answer some of the questions that the  church has made available to you. God's Spirit brings transformation in our lives as we humble ourselves before God and think deeply on His Word!
