May 09, 2008 Why do Jesus`s enemies keep demanding a sign? Why doesn`t Jesus do a miracle for them?Jesus performed many miracles that helped the people. Sometimes they were witnessed by the Pharisees. The truth is that it wasn't that He didn't perform miracles, it was that they wanted to have control when and where he did them. They demanded signs, and then they did not accept that the signs were from God. When Jesus spoke with authority they were afraid. The demand for miracles from the pharisees and saducees was for useless random acts that served only their purpose. and did not produce faith in God. |

May 07, 2008 Why did Jesus call the Pharisees blind? What were they unable to see?Jesus called the Pharisees blind because they worshipped tradition more than God's written word. They had no idea that they were hypocrites, blind to God's words, or that their hearts were far from Him. They lived by tradition for so long that they missed God's true message of love, kindness, forgiveness, patience and perservence. Blessed is the man who perserveres under trial, because when he has stood the test, he will receive the crown of life that God has promised to those who love him. (James 1:12) Another principle was that of the heart. They didn't understand that what comes out of the mouth is a heart issue. (Matt 12: 34 & 35) You brood of vipers, how can you who are evil say anything good" for out of the overflow of the heart the mouth speaks. The good man brings good out of the good stored up in him, and the evil man brings evil things out of the evil stored up in him. |

May 06, 2008 Why did Peter begin to sink when he became afraid? When is it wrong to be afraid?Peter became afraid because his faith was weak, and like others, he was motivated by fear --- at that point he began to sink. It is wrong to be afraid because of the promises that God has made to us. We are told (Isaiah 41:10) So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand. |
