The New Testiment

So why just stop writing in here ... I am going to continue this with my New Testiment class.


Reading Block: Matt. 1-2; Luke 1-2


Doctrines and Principles:

• Jesus Christ is the divine son of Heavenly Father and was conceived in Mary by the power of the Holy Ghost. And through this, Christ being born into mortality, it fulfilled prophesy given about the coming of Christ. (Matthew 1:18-23)



• Nothing is impossible thought the power of God. (Luke 1:37)



• Christ knew from the start what his role in life was, who his father is, and things he ought to be doing. (Luke 2:42-52)



Thoughts, Impressions, Ideas for Application:

• After the angel spoke to the shepherds in the field they went “with haste” to go to where they where told to go. In life, how often do we take haste in doing what we have been asked to do or to do what we need to do? We are often told to not procrastinate and yet, I know for me at least, that more often is there procrastination in my life opposed to taking haste to the things that I know the Lord wants me to be doing.



• Zacharias doubted the angel of the Lord and was punished for doing such. I’m not sure if I have ever really been punished but I know that there are times that I have felt like Zacharias in not really thinking what the Lord is trying to tell me is right, that it is impossible. I don’t like to make a habit of doubting the Lord and his will but I know deep down inside His way is the best way; I just don’t want to admit it. It brings a new light, seeing those who have done what I am doing and what happened to them.



• The Kings saw a star and it brought great joy to them. The star was a symbol of Christ birth and he brought great joy to the world. The gospel is the guiding star in my life and it brings great joy. Without the gospel I know that I would be lost in the dark. I am so grateful for the knowledge that I have, it is such a blessing to me in my life. I love it, it is just not my religion, and it is my life.
