Week 5

This week's quote came from a number of sources, so it very likely originated with Yeshua.

My teachings come from the mind of the Creator. If you follow them you will share in the rewards of a righteous life.

We find this in the following books:

The gospels of Matthew, John, Thomas and Mark.

Week 4

It's hard to realize that January is almost gone. While much of the country has suffered through a harsh winter, here in the Rocky Mountain valley where I make my home, we have been blessed with unusually mild weather. All our snow has melted, at least for a while. Yeshua's quote for this week evokes an early spring.

I bring you a new way to live!

This comes from three sources, The gospels of Thomas, Mark and John.

My book, "A Conversation with Yeshua" is now available from BarnesandNoble.com, amazon.com, e-booktime.com and Christian on line distributors. Consider buying it to see all the source material and background commentary

Week 3

This weeks paraphrase of Yeshua's thoughts is taken from the gospels of Thomas and Mark. It really stresses how Jeshua's goal is to change the way people act. It reads:

What I am teaching are new thoughts, for new times.

To see my source material, and determine if you interpret it the way I do, please go to the book: A Conversation with Yeshua, available from e-booktime.com, BarnesandNoble.com, Amazon.com and other on line book sellers.

Week 2

The second saying I want to share is this:

You are being taught special things.

This is found in both the Gosepel of Thomas and the Q gospel. The Q gospel provided much of the source material for the gospels of Mark and Matthew.

Week 1

Happy New Year!

The 52 sayings identified in "A Conversation With Yeshua" can form the basis of a year long personal meditation. With that in mind, each week I hope to post a saying for you to reflect on. Remember that these are my interpretations of the the oldest stratum of Jesus sayings. You might interpret Jesus' actual quotes differently.

I am pleased to note that, as of the New Year, my book is available through BarnesandNoble.com , as well as e-booktime.com . I certainly invite you to visit these sites. Having the book will let you personally interpret the sayings of Jesus.

Saying #1- I will bring you true knowledge.

This is recorded in the gospels of John and Thomas, and the Edgerton Gospel. Yeshua is confident that he is a messenger of God.
