The highway that you are travelling on is called the Northern Woods and Waters Route. You cannot travel this route without being in awe of the great beauty and diversity both in plants and animals created for our use and enjoyment. There are those that would have you believe everything happens by chance, others divine direction, I will leave it up to you. Be blessed during your ride and soak in your surroundings, stop for a few caches or them all.
The bible is divided into the old and new testaments that together make up a total of 66 books of the bible. It is said that each book’ author was inspired to do his writings without consult with the other authors yet the Bible seems to flow from beginning to end. I have used each book as the title for a cache along this route and hope you can learn a little about the bible as you cache on! Cache type varies as you travel.
The first book of the New Testament wrote to the Jewish nation that Jesus of Nazareth is the Messiah. Similar to Malachi, this book is seen as a connecting link between the Old and New Testaments. Matthew was a tax collector who became one of Jesus’ disciples. His writings take place after Jesus between 60-65 A.D. The purpose of this book was not to chronological account but to present the clear evidence that Jesus is the Messiah. The book tells of Jesus’ birth (what is now called Christmas), his teachings and parables, the story of the 5 loaves and 2 fishes that fed the 5000 and many other miracles, it tells about events we now associate with Good Friday, Jesus’ death on the cross and Easter. Other books tell of the same events but from the view of a different observer. This is probably the most important book in the bible.
