Saturday, March 5

First I would like to apologize for not blogging last Saturday. I want to take a second to look over those passages from last week...Matthew 20-22.
In chapter 20 we see a great picture of how we should live as followers of Christ. We must become last. Twice we see people questionig how things should be done. First in the vineyard as the workers are paid and then the mother of the Sons of Zebedee asking about who is the greatest. We are shown that we must become the least. We truly must place others above ourselves in order to follow the direction of our Lord.
In chapter 21, one particular part stood out to me. We see more than once that Jesus is praised, the people saying, "Hosanna in the highest." They laid out branches for him and led Him into the city. I wonder how often we give Jesus the praise that He truly deserves from us.
In chapter 22, we see that Gos has invited all to the feast. That is such a wonderful tought to remember. God doesn't offer his kingdom just to royalty but to all. We just have to accept the invitation.


For this week we looked at Matthew 23-25. In this passage we find one of my favorite Scripture passages: Matthew 25:31-46. Here we see a command of how we must live. We must love others!
This week there was a great focus on the end times and I think that I could write a whole huge blog on the end times. They are indeed important but I think that we must truly spend more time focusing on our need to be loving! There is a serious lack of love in our world and we as Christ's followers must step up to the plate and love others!
