For a few moments last night I thought I had deleted this file so it’s time to post it before something bad happens to it. Here’s the thing: when I first started recording Genesis, I didn’t know what I was doing. There were a lot of mistakes and some of them were funny. The process has gotten better and when there are errors they are not the kind that used to happen and I don’t react as much. I have learned to just reread the verse, it will be an easy fix in post. So I may quit saving the “blooper reel” and sharing them because they not as entertaining as they used to be. As always, you tell me. I want to publish a finished product with high production value. At the same time I do not want to think of myself more highly than I ought to think, so maybe these keep me humble.
Read the Bible: Leviticus 3
We have been looking at the instructions for making various types of offerings. Chp 1 was burnt offerings, chp 2 was grain offerings; this chapter is about fellowship or peace offerings and chp 4 will be sin offerings. That chapter will be a little more involved than the others leading up to it.
Leviticus 3
“If the offering is a sacrifice of peace offering, from the herd, male or female, he shall offer one without blemish before the LORD.

Chapter 1 was about meat offerings, chapter 2 is about grain offerings. Grain offerings had to be unleavened (no yeast) and contain no honey, but they had to be seasoned with salt. God wants carbs, gluten and salt, that’s the takeaway from Leviticus 2.
Leviticus 2
“When anyone offers a grain offering to the LORD, his offering shall be of fine flour and he shall pour oil on it, and put frankincense on it:

We are going to keep switching back and forth between Old and New Testament books as we read through the Bible. Most of the Bible is Old Testament and while it is all valuable, you may find parts of it more useful than others. I offer a lot of discussion about Leviticus in general but have very little say about this chapter in particular after the reading.
Here is a link to the Exodus episodes on The Master’s Table, before we were on Spotify, Amazon Music, Audible and iHeart Radio. You should be able to find the Genesis posts once you’re on the website.
Leviticus 1
The LORD called Moses, and spoke to him out of the tent of meeting, saying:

This is one of several laws that goes into effect on July 1st. Pink Blaze will now be a legal alternative to orange for hunters in Georgia. You gotta stay current on these things because ignorance of the law is no excuse.
This is Happy Monday #594.
Read the Bible: Matthew 28
The resurrection; Jesus appears first to Mary Magdalene and the other Mary and later to the 11 Apostles; the Great Commission.
This chapter finishes Matthew’s Gospel and we will jump back into the Old Testament and begin reading Leviticus tomorrow.
Matthew 28
After the Sabbath, at dawn on the first day of the week, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary came to see the tomb.

Yesterday we read through Matthew 27, this is the discussion. After listening to the chp 26 discussion, I realized how that could have been done better. So let’s discuss the trial of Jesus and his crucifixion and burial. And that could include your thoughts and comments; up to you.
Here is a link to He Cannot Save Himself, a poem for Good Friday.

Whoa – In Bill and Ted’s Excellent Adventure, the Greek philosopher Plato says “The only wisdom is knowing that you know nothing,” to which they reply “That’s us, dude!” That’s how I feel about this Bible verse. Modern translations say “Many will fall away” but the KJV says “Many will be offended.” I don’t like to compare current events and news headlines with prophecy, but between everyone being offended, and the hatred and deception, It’s like Jesus was talking about social media in this verse.

Peter returns the 30 pieces of silver; Pilate is amazed that Jesus will not respond to his accusers; the people demand Barabbas be released and Jesus crucified; Jesus is crucified between two thieves and buried in the tomb of Joseph of Arimathaea. Once again we are reading the text today and saving the discussion for tomorrow.
Matthew 27
When morning came, all the chief priests and elders of the people took counsel against Jesus to put him to death:

We read all 75 verses of Matthew 26 yesterday and did not try to do any more. Today we will discuss the text, the pronunciation of Caiaphas, talk about who Herod and Pilate were and do what I was professionally trained to do: teach history.
Tomorrow we will read Matthew 27 and do the same thing, save the discussion until the next day. As always the comments are open so if there is anything you feel was overlooked, or you wish to offer additional insight, you are more than welcome.
