But what I really love is Jesus's patience with them! I feel like since He knew what was going to happen and He was very "distressed and troubled" (which incidentally the disciples don't seem to notice...or at least not enough to keep watch), He had every reason to be very upset with them. But He reminds them to "keep watching and praying that you may not come into temptation" and then basically says He knows they want wait, but their flesh doesn't. Wed, 23 Sep 2020 21:10:37 -0400 In one word: Judas https://nowcomment.com/documents/226422?scroll_to=2083153 https://nowcomment.com/documents/226422?scroll_to=2083153 Not a revolutionary thought or question...but I always wonder what exactly was going through Judas's head. And like did he know the chief priests were at that moment trying to come up with a way to kill Jesus? And why did Judas decide to go to them? Did he know he would get a reward? And how did the chief priests believe he was actually trying to betray him instead of trying to figure out their plots?

Fri, 03 Apr 2020 18:10:26 -0400 Doesn't look like it...which is good to keep in mind because as much as we would love for everyone to believe sometimes people just refuse and we can't do anything about it except pray for them. https://nowcomment.com/documents/184884?scroll_to=1763868 https://nowcomment.com/documents/184884?scroll_to=1763868 Fri, 03 Apr 2020 18:07:59 -0400 It's kind of sad that--instead of seeing how God can use people of humble origin--they just didn't believe. https://nowcomment.com/documents/184884?scroll_to=1763851 https://nowcomment.com/documents/184884?scroll_to=1763851 Fri, 03 Apr 2020 18:05:19 -0400 Vs 5 https://nowcomment.com/documents/184884?scroll_to=1763842 https://nowcomment.com/documents/184884?scroll_to=1763842 I like that it just mentions that Jesus "laid His hands on a few sick people and healed them" almost as an afterthought...like it was no big deal! Makes me smile lol Fri, 03 Apr 2020 17:59:35 -0400 I think that that means that we should tell as many people as possible before Jesus comes back so they'll go to heaven. -Jonathan https://nowcomment.com/documents/173947?scroll_to=1668124 https://nowcomment.com/documents/173947?scroll_to=1668124 Wed, 18 Mar 2020 20:08:23 -0400 You don't really need to be scared of dying because God decides when you are going to die. So it's going to happen when He wants it to. -Jonathan https://nowcomment.com/documents/173947?scroll_to=1668072 https://nowcomment.com/documents/173947?scroll_to=1668072 Wed, 18 Mar 2020 20:02:50 -0400 Proverbs 3:5 https://nowcomment.com/documents/173947?scroll_to=1668038 https://nowcomment.com/documents/173947?scroll_to=1668038 I've recently been trying to focus on the "trust in the Lord with all your heart". Not specifically with the whole virus fiasco, but it applies to this whole thing as well. I tend to like to know what is happening next so I can plan everything out (like I want to know if I'm going to pass my next term and if I'm going to make it through nursing program so I can plan my life accordingly), but I'm trying to trust that God knows what is best and that He has a plan. Wed, 18 Mar 2020 20:00:45 -0400 Possibly unrelated thought... https://nowcomment.com/documents/173947?scroll_to=1668020 https://nowcomment.com/documents/173947?scroll_to=1668020 I was thinking about fact checking. Like maybe part of what Jesus was saying is to think about what He is saying and see if it matches up with scripture. It reminded me of the Bereans who "fact-checked" what they were being taught. I don't know if that's exactly what Jesus meant or if He was thinking about at that time, but that's just what came to mind. Wed, 18 Mar 2020 19:55:55 -0400 God gave us ears so we should use them to learn good things, not listen to bad things. -Samuel https://nowcomment.com/documents/173947?scroll_to=1667999 https://nowcomment.com/documents/173947?scroll_to=1667999 Wed, 18 Mar 2020 19:52:12 -0400 Don't listen to things that aren't going to help your relationship with God. -Jonathan https://nowcomment.com/documents/173947?scroll_to=1667982 https://nowcomment.com/documents/173947?scroll_to=1667982 Wed, 18 Mar 2020 19:51:37 -0400 Don't fill your head with garbage. -Samuel https://nowcomment.com/documents/173947?scroll_to=1667980 https://nowcomment.com/documents/173947?scroll_to=1667980 Wed, 18 Mar 2020 19:50:26 -0400
