Tuesday .. the third day of Holy week .. haha .. as Jesus and His crew began the trek to the Temple .. they saw the fig tree in which He had cursed the day before .. and yes .. even knowing it represented Israel in one of His parables .. they were still surprised that it had withered so quickly .. however .. they kept moving .. and yes .. Jesus kept teaching .. telling parables as only He could tell .. with lessons attached to each of them .. and yes .. with each of these parables .. those lessons back then as well as today .. are for us to figure out on our own .. haha .. for yes .. He speaks to us in a way that can be entertaining at times .. familiar in spirit .. and yes .. easily remembered so that we can share with others as we travel our own journey .. and at the time .. they were also a way to keep Him out of trouble with the Sandhedrin .. for no .. they had no idea what He was talking about .. and yes .. it totally infuriated them .. haha .. none the less .. He kept teaching and loving before returning to Bethany .. for He knew His time of death was approaching rapidly .. and yes .. He needed to prepare the disciples to carry on after He was gone .. it breaks me inside to think about those days and what He was going through .. yet today .. it’s no different .. we need to know the truth .. for yes .. the truth will set us free .. and no .. it doesn’t matter if we don’t totally understand it .. we don’t have to .. because simply .. what we do understand is .. that yes .. we want to be loved .. and yes sweet friends .. He is love .. and yes .. always and forever .. haha .. oh yeah .. love wins period
“And without faith it is impossible to please Him .. for whoever would draw near to God must believe that He exists and that He rewards those who seek Him”
