GENESIS 34-35:
In
Genesis 32 we heard about Jacob wrestling all night with a
mysterious heavenly figure, and about Jacob's reunion with
Esau.
JOB 20:
Today’s reading in Job is chapter 20— Zophar’s
second response to Job. In chapter 19, Job responded to Bildad's
second speech. Job expressed amazing belief that he would see his
defender (often translated ‘redeemer’). He said, 19:25
GNT
“But I know there is someone in
heaven
who will come at
last to my defense.
26
Even after my skin is eaten by disease,
while still in this body I will see
God.
27 I will see him
with my own eyes,
and he
will not be a stranger.”
MARK 12b:
Yesterday in the first half of Mark 12, Jesus
told a pointed parable against the Jewish religious leaders, then
he went on to refute the Sadducees. We re-read several verses
today.
