January 6 / Luke 2:1-20
Luke 2:1-20 RTNT 2021. I’m always fascinated by geography, and in the Bible I’m especially intrigued by the geography of Judea and Samaria. So today we read And Joseph also went up from Galilee, from the town of Nazareth, to Judea, to the city of David, which is called Bethlehem, because he was of the …
January 5 / Matt. 1:1-25
Matthew 1:1-25 RTNT 2021. Evidently I spent quite a bit of time looking at genealogies two years ago and learned a lot. See the January 8, 2019 post.
