Matthew 21-22

Nikke's thoughts

Jesus tells it how it is. He doesn't dill dally around he just puts it out there. I love that.

I can't help but think of the Pharisees here. Were they so caught up in being "in charge" that they couldn't believe or just ignorant?
They seem so caught up in the tradition of things that they've lost the true meaning of love the Lord with all your heart, mind and soul.
It saddens me so much to know that someone can know the word of God so well but yet not receive it into their life.
This baffles me.

Lord, I pray that your word would come alive to those who read it. I pray that it would be life changing and lead them to your kingdom.
Amen

LOL Jesus totally just makes fools out of all the Pharisees over .. and over. and over.

And finally.. in Matthew 22:46 "No one could say a word in reply, and from that day on no one dared to ask him any more equestions."

No matter what the question is.. he always gave the perfect answer. No one could ever tell him that he was wrong. And it baffles me that they even tried fooling him. Ever. I wish I had such a clear and concise idea of right and wrong.. but I get it mixed up sometimes.

I can only pray that God will shed on me some of His wisdom.. and that I might have a better idea of good and bad in the future.

I want to lead my life so well that other's would see me and get hope by just the way I live my life. I want to shed that kind of light because I know that there are a few people who inspire me like that. Where its just awesome to be around them and they set such a good example of living a Christ-like life.
