Yeah, and another thing to pay attention to is how the church reads Scripture. You know, we know that there are three different levels that we need to pay attention to when you're reading it. Number one is you need to read this, all of this, the patriarchs in Genesis, knowing that Christ fulfills all of this. He fulfills all of it. And from time to time, that will become evident.

But second of all, We need to read it in light of what does this mean to me? Do I see myself in this story? Am I Jacob? Right. Or am I Esau?

Yeah, right. And so you read it knowing that this relates to my life as well. And the third is the future, heaven. How does this find fulfillment eventually in heaven? And those are the three things. things that we pay attention to as Catholics when we read the Bible, but it is a love letter written to you where God is revealing his heart and his plan to you.

And don't be discouraged if you don't get it all right now. There was a very famous word from one of the saints who said that reading the Bible is like drinking from a drinking fountain. Do you remember that one?

Yeah, yeah. You don't go to a drinking fountain and start crying saying, look at all of that went on the ground. Okay. be happy with what you got.

Yeah, yeah. You don't go to a drinking fountain and start crying saying, look at all of that went on the ground. Okay. be happy with what you got.

Well, this period is going to be an exciting period, and I know that it's going to be fun to go through it with you. It's really the story of Abraham, and now we are following the seed line all the way from Eve We're gonna follow that line all the way to Jesus. And so one of the ways we navigate through this complex Bible is we stay on task.

We are following the seed line that was introduced with Adam and Eve. And you can read about these genealogies in Matthew and Luke. And so it's not just willy-nilly, there's actually a prescribed way of telling this entire story. So we've got Abram, and that great covenant that God makes with Abram is going to be bedrock for the rest of the entire Bible.

We're gonna be looking for when do they get land? When is there a royal kingdom established? When is worldwide blessing available to the world? And so that acts as a foundation for us to read going forward. But then who can forget the great stories of Isaac, and Jacob, and then the longest portion of Genesis goes to Joseph.
