I was noticing, too, how often Jesus used women in his parables. He definitely came for Greek, Jew, man, and woman!

It always astounds me when I read through all of these parables how Jesus taught. He taught using stories, ending them basically saying if you live as this story teaches you will belong to God. How much more effective is this than a divine book of rules and regulations. Praise the teacher!!!

I always knew God would meet us I guess I just never thot about it exactly like that,but that does seem like our God. I'm loving this 40 day journey through the New Testament.

I like the NLT translation best because it emphasizes that we must LOVE Jesus (God) more than we love our families and ourselves. The NASB, NIV, KJV, etc all say you must HATE your family be be a disciple! I'm sure the NLT is closer to the true meaning of this scripture. Luke 18:29-30 ... These verses emphasize the value of loving God more than family. I would think people of other faiths who convert to Christianity would cling to this assurance when they are disowned by their families. We have been using the Blue Letter Bible website to compare different translations and to listen to the scriptures there also. It is very handy to use the multiple Internet Explorer window tabs for ease of switching back and forth between windows. Eric, I like your comment on the prodigal son story. It covers the point that if we just do our part then it is up to God to do his part. And He is the judge! Praise the Lord.
