Quiet Time Notes

Sources

Gospels mention about 30-35 days of Jesus' life

Jesus' sayings can be spoken within five hours

We don't have as much as we want but do have as much as we need

Gospel attempt to give us nothing but his words, NOT:

• facial expressions
• gestures
• inflections
• sighs

Words are all God has given us - with words therefore we must be content

The words are not Jesus' exact words, they are translated words

The gosel in Greek, not even in the language Jesus spoke

The men who wrote the gospels never mention of Jesus' appearance

We must at the beginning banish all pictures of Jesus from our minds, focus on his character 

People are either attracted or repelled to Jesus
