1. The Resurrection of Christ

Review of Colossians

Jesus lived the perfect life, died the perfect death, and rose again.

This changes everything.

Keep living the good life, not through your own strength, but through Jesus' example.

Colossians Resources

Here are links to some excellent introductory resources.

I especially appreciate the EasyEnglish Bible Commentary and The New Testament in Modern English with Notes & Maps.

Ruth, the Feast of Weeks, and Pentecost

There are seven feasts celebrated in the Old Testament:

1. First Month: First Coming of Christ
   
   1. Passover: 15 Nissan
      
   2. Feast of Unleavened Bread: 15-21 Nissan
      
   3. Feast of First Fruits: 16 Nissan-6 Sivan
      
2. Third Month: Feast of Pentecost, Shavuot: 6-7 Sivan
   
3. Seventh Month: Second Coming of Christ
   
   1. Feast of Trumpets, Rosh Hashanah: 1 Tishrei, Jewish New Year
      
   2. Day of Atonement, Yom Kippur: 10 Tishrei
      
   3. Feast of Tabernacles (or Booths or Tabernacles), Sukkot: 15-21 Tishrei
      

This outline is influenced by information from the following link: http://store.khouse.org/store/catalog/BP011.html?mv_pc=KHAR-101

Passover, Pentecost, and Tabernacles make up the Shalosh Regalim, or three pilgrimage festivals of Judaism.

Ruth is read during the Jewish celebration of Shavuot, which corresponds to the Christian celebration of Pentecost in Acts 2.

Outline of Ruth

Since I finished up my 45-week first year plan with a few weeks to spare, I have the opportunity to do some additional, unscheduled Bible study.

Here's an outline of the book of Ruth:

1. Naomi's Awful Time
   
   1. Her husband dies
      
   2. Her sons both die
      
2. Ruth's Stubborn Streak
   
   1. Get out of here, Ruth
      
   2. No way, I'm with you forever, Naomi
      
   3. No, seriously, go back to your family and gods
      
   4. "Your people are my people, and your God is my God."
      
3. Naomi and Ruth return to Naomi's Hometown
   
   1. Ruth scavenges from a harvested field
      
   2. Boaz guarantees Ruth's safety
      
   3. Boaz is generous to Ruth and Naomi
      
4. Boaz is a Kinsman-Redeemer
   
   1. Naomi directs Ruth to pursue Boaz
      
   2. Ruth agrees to this plan
      
      1. Ruth gets dressed up
         
      2. Ruth goes to the threshing floor
         
      3. Boaz drinks a lot and goes to bed
         
      4. Ruth turns up the cloak over Boaz's feet
         
      5. Boaz wakes up and thanks Ruth for her request
         
5. Boaz negotiates with a closer kinsman-redeemer
   
   1. There is property of Elimelech, Naomi's late husband, for sale
      
   2. I'll buy it
      
   3. Then you also inherit Naomi's widowed daughter-in-law. Her children will be credited to Elimelech's son, not you.
      
   4. Then you buy the land, Boaz. This situation will put my own property at risk.
      
   5. Cool. Hand me your sandal in the sight of these ten witnesses.
      
   6. Deal!
      
6. Ruth Marries Boaz
   
   1. They have a son, Jesse
      
   2. Jesse has a son, King David

Reviewing Mark

The best part about Mark is that it is full of stories.
