I fell just a bit behind on New Testament entries over the past few days, so I’m determined to make them up.  Hence, a second such entry today.  And, if I’m lucky, there’ll be a third.

 

Matthew 9:14-17

Mark 2:18-22

Luke 5:33-39

John 3:29-30

 

Two brief points to make in connection with these passages:

 

1.  Jesus obliquely warns his disciples here that he won’t always be with them.

 

2.  He’s indicating the need in his day for a restoration rather than a mere reformation.  The same held true in the early nineteenth century, as well.
