       Whenever I read the Scriptures, I fall asleep. I want to read the Old Testament, but I can't ever get through Exodus.

       Many brothers and sisters tell me this: "We really like to read the Bible. We really like reading the Old Testament. Reading Genesis is fine, but when we get to Exodus, we don't know when we can get out of Exodus." I hope in these few days, we can get everyone through Exodus.

       Someone said if a normal Christian reads the Bible, after they finish Genesis, it is very likely that they cannot finish the next book, Exodus, for the rest of their life. As the saying goes, "You can't get through Exodus your whole life". But this time, I had the chance to join CGST's Bible study on Exodus. I wanted to see if I could charge through Exodus under the guidance of CGST. After completing eight weeks of classes, I felt like I was part of the Scriptures, living together with the Israelites for some time. Ultimately, I believe it's God who let CGST bring me through Exodus.

       Especially, when studying the Pentateuch, people often joke that they "cannot get through Exodus". The 3D course "Knowing the Pentateuch—The Journey of Life" selected 15 theological themes in the Bible. As I pay attention to these themes when reading the Scriptures, I had goals and direction, and I was able to persist and read to the last chapter of Deuteronomy.
