Jesus preached at the Temple!

 Luke 21:37-38

After all the issues Jesus had between the Temple leaders and Himself I find it interesting that Jesus preached at the temple for, at least, a number of days.  I don't know if He was paid to do this but it doesn't seem that He was taken care of because He stayed on the Mount of Olives at night.  When I think of the Mount of Olives I think of it as Jesus' favourite spot to pray.  I imagine that He went there to hear from God as to what His teaching would be the next day.  What a treat it must have been to sit under Jesus' ministry.

To met Jesus in a real and personal way I recommend watching The Chosen or taking an Alpha course.

How the news spreads

John 4:45 Remember Jesus had a hard time in His home town of Nazareth so He might have had a hard time in Galilee, as it's only 25 km from Nazareth, but folks from Galilee were in Jerusalem and saw Jesus in action.  I'm reminded of the phrase "you always have to be good because you never know who knows who"...or can I change it to "you always have to be good because you don't know who's watching".  The truth is people were observing Jesus and liked what they saw so they spread the good news.  How about you?  Are folks liking what they see?  Are they spreading the good news because of you?

If you're up you will come down

  Luke 6:25   I find these teachings of Jesus interesting.  He seems to be saying if you're up you will come down but if you're down you will go up.  Is He saying life is full of it's ups and downs so recognize that when you're up be careful because you will come down?  Lord Jesus, help us to appreciate our ups knowing that with every up there is a down. Thanks.

Demons knew who He was

  Luke 4:41 There is a spiritual world around us.  In the west folks have their fortunes told and read horoscopes but they don't really think of this as engaging in the spiritual world but in the time of Jesus, and in other parts of the world like Africa people believe in demons...and what's interesting today, is these demons know who Jesus is!  What's even more interesting is Jesus didn't want others to know who He was.  How about you?  Are you proud of the fact that you know Jesus?  Remember even the demons knew Jesus. This leads to the question what is the difference between a demon and an angel?  Could it be the side they are fighting for?  Are you fighting for good in this world or are you letting evil rule?  Lord Jesus, help us to usher in Your Kingdom here on earth.
