Power Read The Bible In 60 Days With Jeff Andersonಮಾದರಿ
Day 47
HEAVEN
[Scheduled Reading: Matthew 1-17]
The 60-day read creates an interesting flow.
For 46 days we’ve been slogging through the Old Testament while The Seed works its way through human history. Then in one day’s read (today), Jesus is born and He launches His ministry.
Tomorrow (Day 48) His earthly ministry will be over. From a Bible-reading perspective, the life of Jesus appears and passes quickly.
While reading Matthew, notice a particular mega-theme: The Kingdom of Heaven.
Matthew quotes Jesus’ reference to heaven repeatedly throughout this book. From the 4 gospel books, heaven is mentioned roughly 150 times. And 85 of those mentions are in Matthew.
It’s stunning to me how little we talk about heaven today in our churches, given the weight of attention it receives in the gospels.
Enjoy watching for this recurring theme as you read through Matthew.
