Only the Best for God

Jesus said to his disciples, “A rich man had a steward
who was reported to him for squandering his property.

*looking on they notice him*

Matt 13

16
“But blessed are your eyes, because they see, and your ears, because they hear.

17
Amen, I say to you, many prophets and righteous people longed to see what you see but did not see it, and to hear what you hear but did not hear it.

34
“Whoever wishes to come after me must deny himself, take up his cross, and follow me.
35
For whoever wishes to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake and that of the gospel will save it.

36
What profit is there for one to gain the whole world and forfeit his life?
37
What could one give in exchange for his life?

38
Whoever is ashamed of me and of my words in this faithless and sinful generation, the Son of Man will be ashamed of when he comes in his Father’s glory with the holy angels.”

Then & Now

The days are coming, says the LORD,
when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel
and the house of Judah.
It will not be like the covenant I made with their fathers:
the day I took them by the hand
to lead them forth from the land of Egypt;
for they broke my covenant,
and I had to show myself their master, says the LORD.
But this is the covenant that I will make
with the house of Israel after those days, says the LORD.
I will place my law within them, and write it upon their hearts;
I will be their God, and they shall be my people.
No longer will they have need to teach their friends and relatives
how to know the LORD.
All, from least to greatest, shall know me, says the LORD,
for I will forgive their evildoing and remember their sin no more.

Tents for Prophets

Jesus took Peter, James, and his brother, John,
and led them up a high mountain by themselves.
And he was transfigured before them;
his face shone like the sun
and his clothes became white as light.
And behold, Moses and Elijah appeared to them,
conversing with him.

Going through the Motions

Matt 15: 1-3, 10-14

1Then some Pharisees and teachers of the law came to Jesus from Jerusalem and asked,

2″Why do your disciples break the tradition of the elders? They don’t wash their hands before they eat!”

3Jesus replied, “And why do you break the command of God for the sake of your tradition?

“Why do women have such small feet?”

God is Not a Disaster

1 Kgs 19:9a, 11-13a

At the mountain of God, Horeb,
Elijah came to a cave where he took shelter.
Then the LORD said to him,
“Go outside and stand on the mountain before the LORD;
the LORD will be passing by.”
A strong and heavy wind was rending the mountains
and crushing rocks before the LORD—
but the LORD was not in the wind.

Making Coin Fo Sho

Mt 17: 24-27

When they came to Capernaum,
the collectors of the temple tax approached Peter and said,

“Does not your teacher pay the temple tax?”
“Yes,” he said.

“Ahh.. Scuba Steve, Damn YOU!!”

Jer 15: 16-18

When your words came, I ate them;
they were my joy and my heart’s delight,
for I bear your name,
O LORD God Almighty.

I never sat in the company of revelers,
never made merry with them;
I sat alone because your hand was on me
and you had filled me with indignation.

Solomon Asks for Governing Power to Serve

First Book of Kings 3: 5, 7-12

THE LORD APPEARED TO

Solomon in a dream at night. God said,
“Ask something of me and I will give it
to you.” Vocation to you

Jesus’ Call to a Dark Night of the Soul: Luke 14:25-33

Jesus, Word Most Complete. Old Testament and New. From “Love Thy neighbor” and Paul’s cry’s for One Body in You. We groom ourselves (meeeow) with delight in God the Father, our most perfect Creator.

With grooming done, all Parts are left alone, separate from each other while preparing to then Fight in this One Body, a fight against all that opposes the Father All Powerful. Inadvertant interference with each other would be in rage but no offense is taken upon itsself- those of the Faithful, “One Body in Christ,”

Be Little, Let the Lord Bear it

Matthew 11:

25At that time Jesus said, “I praise you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because you have hidden these things from the wise and learned, and revealed them to little children. 26Yes, Father, for this was your good pleasure.

GOD?  Humor?

Mark 12: 28-32

28 One of the teachers of the law came and heard them debating. Noticing that Jesus had given them a good answer, he asked him, Of all the commandments, which is the most important?

Make it so! Get to Work! Contemplation!

2/19/2007

NOTE: In bold is my take. Included with this- What I would think Jesus is thinking and/or meaning.

14 …they saw a large crowd around them and the teachers of the law arguing with them.

yes yes yes! I love it! So Jesus & Disiples come to these other disiples arguing with the written Word scribes.

16 “What are you arguing with them about?”

Piece of Mind

John 14:27

Jesus said to his disciples:
“Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you.
Not as the world gives do I give it to you.
Do not let your hearts be troubled or afraid.”

Mind Reading (continued)

Matthew 11:

11I tell you the truth: Among those born of women there has not risen anyone greater than John the Baptist; yet he who is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he.

Mind Reading

Matthew 11: 2-11

When John the Baptist heard in prison of the works of Christ, he sent his disciples to Jesus with this question, “Are you the one who is to come, or should we look for another?”

Jesus said to them in reply, “Go and tell John what you hear and see: the blind regain their sight, the lame walk, lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, and the poor have the good news proclaimed to them. And blessed is the one who takes no offense at me.”

Matthew 7:

21″Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. I took a hit for sure. Ouch.

Mary & Jesus “OK Mama, Okay!”

Jesus Changes Water to Wine

1On the third day a wedding took place at Cana in Galilee. Jesus’ mother was there,

2and Jesus and his disciples had also been invited to the wedding.

3When the wine was gone, Jesus’ mother said to him, “They have no more wine.”

4“Dear woman, why do you involve me?” Jesus replied, “My time has not yet come.”

March 31 The Announciation: “Mary says “Yes!!” to God”

Luke 1:

30 And the angel said to her: Fear not, Mary, for thou hast found grace with God.

31 Behold thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and shalt bring forth a son; and thou shalt call his name Jesus.

32 He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the most High; and the Lord God shall give unto him the throne of David his father; and he shall reign in the house of Jacob for ever.

33 And of his kingdom there shall be no end.

38 And Mary said: Behold the handmaid of the Lord; be it done to me according to thy word. And the angel departed from her.
