6.5.09 Gn20, Mt19

Genesis 20:
Abrham moved from the Canaan to Negev. For a while, he stayed in Gerar. Again, when they went into the land of Gerar, he told Sarah to tell others that they were siblings. The king of the land, Abimelech then took Sarah, but he had not touched her. Then one night, God came to Abemelech in a dream told him that Sarah is Abraham's wife. Abemelech begged God not to destroy his kingdom, for he was innocent. God commanded him to return Sarah, and told him that he would be alright if he did so. When Abimelech returned Sarah, Abraham saw that this was a nation that feared God, and he blessed this nation. Abimelech gave Abraham some things, and some for Sarah, and told them they could live anywhere in the nation. God then healed the woman in Abimelech's household so they could bear children again.

Matthew 19:
After Jesus left Galilee, and went to judae and other places of Jordan. Those pharasees came again, and tested him asking if it was lawful for a man to divorce his wife. Jesus replied that God has created men and women, and they were to leave their parents and unit into one. They then asked why Moses said it was okay to divorce. Jesus then replied that Moses allowed it because men's hearts were hard, and one can only divorce his wife because of unfaithfullness in marriage. His disciples said then what good is there to marry. Jesus said that there were different gifts given to people, some people wouldn't marry, others would, for God's callings were differet. The ones who were given the callings would marry. Then some people took children to Jesus and wanted Jesus to pray for them, the disciples condemned them however Jesus said that the kingdom of heaven belong to little ones. He then prayed for them. A man asked Jesus what he lacked in going to heaven when he fulfilled all the commandment. Jesus told him to go and sell everything he had and follow him. The man held his possessions too tight, and couldn't do it. It was harder for wealthy people to accept the kingdom of heaven. the disciples then asked who would be saved. Jesus said that the ones who would follow him would be saved. Then he predicted that the twelve disciples who followed him would go to heaven and sit on twelve thrones and judge the nation of Israel.
