**There is a funny background noise on this one and there will be on Episode 8 as well - I'm not sure what it is, but I'm going to fix it before recording Episode 9**

I meant to read the book of Mark every day for 7 days, but missed one! In six days of reading I had a TON of questions because I'm me, and 5 of those had some fun little tidbit answer-ish things I thought would be fun to share. This podcast is a compilation of just that! I do hope you like this one. If you are enjoying my podcast, will you share it with a friend who might like it too?

Why didn't they recognize Him? Did he look different? Did God shut their eyes? Did their own unbelief shut their eyes?

Last week I asked about Matthew 6:22 and Luke 11:34 -  if the eye is HALPOUS, the whole body is full of light - what the heck does that mean.? That’s episode 4 if you want to go back and check it out.  Last week’s episode, like all episodes really, involved me reading a lot of words about this verse.  For this particular bit of scripture, there is quite a variety of perspective and I found so many great quotes.

I decided I wanted to share some of those with you as an extra little bonus episode.

If the eye is [good/healthy] then the whole body is full of light, but if the eye is [bad/unhealthy] then the whole body is full of darkness. Jesus said this and it's recoded the same way in both Matthew and Luke, but what does it even mean? I'm asking that question this week. I hope you enjoy the possible answers.

Do you have 18 questions about the Magi in Matthew 2? I spent A LOT of hours asking questions and pouring over possible answers about these Magi. I present you with pretty darn close to 15 minutes of those answers distilled into what I found the most interesting and relevant. You can find links to all the things I talked about in the show and read some or all of those in your own study time in my show notes post here.

If you are enjoying this podcast please subscribe! I also appreciate reviews so much and of course share with any friends who might love these episodes. I'll be back in two weeks to ask about what the heck it means that "If the eye is good the whole body is good and if the eye is bad the whole body is evil?"
