In our morning readings this week we finish Matthew’s account of the life of Christ and move into Mark’s account.  As we move from one gospel to the next it is important to not view reading Mark as a repeat of reading Matthew, but instead to notice the different perspectives of the two writers.  While they recorded often the same events, the things that stood out to them the most were different.  Take time to compare their accounts and how the stories are the same, but the points of emphasis may differ.
