January - Day 2

A few thoughts from my reading today - 

Genesis 3:22 - Adam and Eve had access to the tree of life before they sinned.  Apparently the tree of life would keep them from ever dying, but access was removed so that sin would not remain forever.  We now have access to eternal, never ending life through faith in Jesus.  In a way, the cross of death, became the new "tree of life". 

Psalm 2 - Those who reject God as their Lord think they are gaining freedom from God, when in reality they are just becoming slaves to an evil master.  Freedom from God is slavery to sin.  

Acts 1:14 - "They were constantly united in Prayer." This is the kind of community I want to see today.  Prayer is one of the most unifying practices of believers.  
Also - I think it is pretty significant that it mentions Jesus' mother, Mary, being there with them.  For those who wonder if Jesus really didn't sin, even was a teenager, don't you think it is pretty significant that his mother was a follower?  If anyone could have known of sin in his life, she would have.
