Matthew 15
Inspired thots
Different people came to Jesus with different agendas; even Jesus has His own agenda as He ministered.
Jesus: had compassion on the people; give them HOPE and WHOLENESS through healing. I wonder if they understood. Perhaps not; as Jesus always mentioned that they 'see but not perceive; hear but not understand.'
Pharisees: came to critique Jesus; looking for reason to accuse Him as He was drawing attention away from them. They felt offended and guilty when Jesus spoke of their unbecoming attitude and behavior for Jesus saw through their hypocrisy.
Israelites: curious about Jesus; desire to receive but do not know how to give. Shallow understanding of the spiritual. Care about the physical more.
Gentiles: receptive; willing to believe and plead; not to miss out on blessings even though not the key target audience to receive. Persistency and humility pays off.
A daily time out with the Lord Jesus, to hear Him speak to ME. I am asking the Lord to share HIS thoughts with ME, to teach me more about Himself, and how I can be drawn closer to Him... for 'His thoughts are not my thoughts and neither are His ways my ways' Isaiah 55:8,9. This blog is not a theological exegesis. This blog is to record down the INSIGHTS & INSPIRATIONS of God's Word to me; speaking LIFE into my life for Abundant life! :)
