Chapter 1 was about how everybody was related to everybody else at that time. It also discussed the concept of child rearing, and it mentioned about the Story of Mary and Joseph. They lived together for a long time, until one day an angel of God came to Joseph in a dream. He said to Joseph, “You and Mary are to get married. The Holy Spirit will then conceive with Mary a child. It will be a son, and he is to be named Jesus. He will one day save all the people from thier sins.
Chapter 2 Focusses on what happened with Jesus, the wisemen, and King Herod. At first Herod would push to see Jesus so he could worship him. Then after a while it was found out by an angel that appeared to Joseph in a dream. It stated that Jesus was not to be around King Herod due to him wanting to kidnap him and destroy him. So Jesus therefore could not always stay in Bethlehem, he had to be moved from there to Egypt, then to Israel.
Chapter 3 All about John the baptist and Jesus being baptized and where to baptize him. Jesus was baptized in the Jordan river. He received the Holy Ghost and was anointed. A voice later came from heaven stating that “This is my beloved son in whom I am pleased, listen to him.”
Chapter 4 Jesus is on a mountain and came from Galalie. He ended up out in the wilderness and Satan was tempting him for 40 days. He had been preaching in many foreign lands beforehand. He had made stones into bread for the people to eat. Satan had also had Jesus in many cities trying to temp him as well. Jesus also was given the power to heal the sick. Two of his deciples were fishermen before being servants of Jesus.
Chapter 5 discusses the blessings that God gives his people. The keys to getting into heaven are knowing Jesus Christ, following the commandments, doing positive work and teaching and sharing the word of God. It also points out how adultery is committed and the rules for divorcing someone. Back in the day only certain parts of a person’s flesh would not end up in darkness forever, and the rest would go up to our heavenly father.
Chapter 6 discusses how important it is to always give to your heavenly father before giving to the poor. Always remember to keep your body very well nourished. Remember that God is your main provider. Surround yourself with people that are positive and are sent across your path by God. Remain single until God sends you his choice of a mate.
Chapter 7 There is only one judge. God. Never be judgmental of another. Anything comes from God. Ask of him, and you will receive it. Never ask of man, or you could receive what is not what you request. God can help remove the spirit of hypocrisy from anyone, including one’s brothers and sisters. Always knock on God’s door, and he will open it. Do not try to be friend anyone that is dark or unholy. Follow where God leads you; this could depend on if your life could end up in total destruction. Becareful of who you associate with; they could be a wolf in sheep’s clothes. One other way to enter God’s kingdom is to follow his will for you. The people are given the power to cast out the darkness in the name of Jesus.
Chapter 8 1-17 Jesus has been known as a healer. He can heal all disease, and this included a man that had leoparcy. This also includes casting out dark spirits in people that possess them. 18-34 Jesus has perfect love, and that love can make fear go away out of anyone. He also has the power to make any form of weather be calm and still.
Chapter 9 Jesus had also been known to raise people from the dead. He also had helped people that could not walk be able to walk. This was all done with deciples at his side assisting. He has the power to forgive a sinner. Give women a husband, and a husband a wife. He does great miracles.
Chapter 10 It tells about how Jesus and the deciples work, how they would minister and how to heal the sick and other conditions.
Chapter 11 Goes over how you are to give your burdens and problems to God and follow him, and if you do not, you could end up with his adversary. It also talked about how uses prophets as messagers to him so people could get to know the bible, and when John the baptist came along he became a messager along with prophets. It then goes along how people got to preach the word to others.
The main point of Chapter 12 is the Sabbath. Most people think that the sabbath was on Sunday, but it was not. It was on Saturday. Back in the day when Jesus and his deciples were on earth, they would go into the garden and pick thier food, and do chores that had to be done and then rest, as well as pray to the Heavenly Father.
Chapter 13 main point is Jesus explaining the importance of giving a tithe. This will bring a lot of blessings from the lord, and all you might need if you tithe. In the chapter this is not mentioned, but 10 percent of your income is expected. The gift of hearing and sight is also mentioned where you can hear the voice of God, and see him if he should manifest. Here is an example of a short story where tithing can help. There was someone a long time ago that hardly had any money. Could not make ends meet, or meet thier own needs, and on top of it was starving. One day this person began to tithe into thier church. God then began to bless this person and the needs were met. This was all because of a small tithe, and a lot of believing. It does really work. You may feel like you cannot tithe at times, but it will help if you do as long as you believe in Jesus. You can tithe at your local church or any ministry you want to. It is up to you.
In Chapter 14 it talks about how John the baptist ended up trying to help King Herald’s daughter stay out of trouble with the king. This is a good thing, but not back in those days. Later he was thrown in jail due to his beliefs and preaching God’s word. Jesus and the other deciples came to rescue him out of jail.
Chapter 15 discusses how Jesus was able to feed many people with very little food, and still have food left over. He was able to do this miracle. He was able to give sight to someone who was born blind. People who were not smart he was able to make them become very smart.
Chapter 16 mentions about rebuking deciples at times because they did acts not of our heavenly father. Rebuke means a strong criticism of someone’s actions. Jesus did do this at times to his deciples, or wherever he saw fit. There are rules about this however. A list of rules can be found in the bible. 1Timothy chapter 5. Job Chapter 13, and 1 corinthians 5. There are other books about this but we just mentioned a couple of references.
Chapter 17 mentions rebuking as well, healing sickness and other conditions. It also goes over how Jesus can remove an evil spirit from someone.
Chapter 18 A recap of 15, 16, and 17, but a very important point of this is it teaches how to be humble, always be silent when trying to get a message to you.
Chapter 19’s main focus is about when to be in the bond of marriage with someone and when not to. God really, if you deeply get into the word you will understand, he wishes us to love him, and then he will give us the gift of another half. If you wait on God’s time for it to happen instead of your own. If you do this your marriage will be really great. It is also important to keep the commandments in order to enter the kingdom, and to trust God by believing that nothing is impossible. If you really believe in Jesus the new covenant says he is the light to get to heaven. It is also important to have Love, Joy, and Peace and to help others with no other reason than because you love the Lord.
Chapter 20 is sort of a review of the previous verses before this. It goes over some of the miracles performed by Jesus, and he likes that we keep busy doing for him. The lord wishes us to be like him when we are born again. He wants us to do for others in a way that he would do. You know a lot of things you can do for yourself by unlocking your inner being because the Holy Spirit lives within us.
Chapter 21 goes over how important it is to do good actions and not ones against the Kingdom that are not able to be repented. Many people would wonder where Jesus got his authority to be able to make someone not smart become smart, and that is not able to move be able to walk. I believe back then people did not understand that Jesus was the son of God and would only think of Mary and Joseph rather than Jesus being God’s son.
Chapter 22 Discusses about the bond of marriage in the realm of the spirit. There are legal proceedings with lawyers as well as on the earth. When you accept Jesus Christ you are considered marriage in the spirit realm.
Chapter 23 It is important to remember to put your heavenly father before your father on earth. Remember not to talk against or do any negative actions on the Kingdom. Always remember to keep he commands and follow the teachings and you will be exhausted and chosen as a servant.
Chapter 24 Talks about servants being heads of thier household. If the servant should become evil that duty could be removed. It also points out what could happen when the lord returns to earth. Floods could result, fires, earthquakes, even stars and the moon could end up loosing the light that they give off.
Chapter 25 Explains what happens when you are a good servant on earth and that you sew into the kingdom. It also goes over what happens when you are a bad servant and do not sew. He is the Shepard of all his sheep. It explains more requirements of how to make it into the kingdom of heaven.
Chapter 26 Tells the story about how Jesus and his deciples were having a meeting one day and Jesus said one of you is going to betray me. One then replied, Lord, that will not ever happen, and he said, you will see. Judas Iscariot ended up being the one to betray Jesus. The last supper then occurred and Jesus was crucified, and then was risen on the 3rd day.
Chapter 27 Goes through the continuation of the story of how Jesus was betrayed and crucified and was risen from the dead. It went through the trial that Jesus went through and how many witnesses were called, including barabus, a robber, who even tried to help with convincing how Christ comitted no crimes.
Chapter 28 Went through the story of what happened after Jesus was discovered missing from the tomb where he was buried. Mary was the one witness on Sunday morning. A deciple of Christ’s was commanded by an angel in heaven to go and let be known of the news that Jesus had risen from the dead.
