Today's reading: Matthew 2:13-23, Acts 2:22-47, Psalm 4, Genesis 9-11
Read it online here.
---------------------------------
Some background info
Psalms
The book of Psalms is a collection of 150 poems (meant to be sung, as prayers and praises to God) and David seems to be the author of a majority of them. In Psalms, we see quite a range of experiences and deep emotions being expressed.
Genesis
Genesis is the first book of the Bible and Moses is generally accepted as the author/compiler. It begins with creation and the first humans in the Garden of Eden, and ends with Abraham's descendants in Egypt.

Day 3
Happy Back-to-Work Monday!
Today's reading: Matthew 2:1-12, Acts 2:1-21, Psalm 3, Genesis 5-8
Read it online here.
---------------------------------
Some background info
Matthew
The book of Matthew, as many of us already know, is one of the four Gospels, the first four books in the New Testament (NT), covering the life of Jesus.
The book of Matthew is generally accepted to have been written by Matthew, one of the twelve disciples. Matthew (also called Levi) was a tax collector for the Romans (and so was probably well off.)
Although all of the Gospels are for everyone to read, it's interesting how each of the four Gospels was written from a slightly perceptive. Matthew refers to the Old Testament more than any other NT author. Matthew seems to be writing to mostly Jewish readers to show Jesus is their Messiah.
Acts
Acts shares the story of the expansion of the Gospel and growth of the church, starting from when Jesus was about to leave. Acts was probably written by Luke, who also wrote the Gospel of Luke.
