Hey Bible readers, I'm Tara Lee Cobble, and I'm your host for the Bible Recap.

0:12.6

If you're doing our New Testament plan, today we finished our 13th and 14th books, and if you're doing the whole Bible, we finished books 52 and 53.

0:21.6

Paul wrote today's two letters while in prison, though we're not sure which prison, maybe Rome.

1:08.2

He says Jesus has reconciled us to the Father and presents us holy and

1:12.1

evidence of a new heart. Verse 24 is a challenging verse to understand, but given what Paul and

1:22.4

scripture say about Jesus suffering elsewhere, we know he can't be saying there's something

1:26.6

lacking in what Jesus did on the cross. After all, Jesus said it is finished. Most scholars think verse 24
