My God shows by Example

Matthew 20:1-28

Inspired thots

1) For once, Jesus revealed to His disciples what will happen to Him shortly. This time He was direct as He foretold of His suffering and crucifixion. There were no parables. The disciples have to 'get it' - to understand what will happen and why it happens when it happens.

There was bad and good news. Jesus was to be betrayed, condemned, turned over, mocked, flogged and crucified! But He will be alive forever again after the earthly insults!

How appropriate the story of James and John's mother requesting the best seats in heaven for her sons! But the highlight is not on James and John. It is JESUS, who exemplified what He taught for who He is.

He is Great, but became lowly (coming in the flesh); He is the Lord, but is willing to be a servant; He is God, but willing to give up his life for many! (v28)
Not for all... for many... there will be those who will reject Him. How sad!

2) How great is my God! He who knows all things and knows what is best; I can surrender my all to Him, for He will have everything in the best order! Truly there is no need to fret or plan much as I learn to let God direct my ways, my life! He will have a place in His kingdom for ME! I am praying so for my family too.... especially my gals, the next generation for God!
