My bible study group is in the midst of Mercy Triumphs, so I am memorizing James (pray for me…lol). But in my daily reading (Chronilogical Bible in a year), it was the reading of Jesus and his disciples not fasting. It meant so much more to me since I am in this Mercy study, because of the emphasis on how James was merging the new way of life for the Jews. How did their new Christianity fits into their Jewish life. And here you have Jesus not obey all the pharisees. Then when the bible passage got to the part where Jesus says to them “How can the guests of the bridegroom mourn while he is with them? The time will come when the bridegroom will be take from them, then they will fast.” I just got chills. The next passage was was awesome too, but you all can read it for your self. But yeah, if you have done the Mercy bible study, that passage was more awesome! God Bless…
