Luke's Advent Day 5

Monday, Dec 5. The busy weekend is done and I can get back on track with my Scriptural advent calendar. It has been tough (read impossible) to do this as a family yet but I, at least, am enjoying it inmensely.

Dec 5 -- Luke 5

1. This chapter records the names of some men that Jesus specifically called to be his disciples and follow him. Which ones are recorded in Luke 5 and what were their jobs? (verses 9-11, 27-28)

2. Jesus healed many people of disease and demon possesion. Which ones were mentioned in Luke 5 and what instruction(s) did Jesus give them once they were healed? (verses 12-14, 18-24)

What should be the first thing on your "to do" list, especially on your most busy and stressful days?
