August 22, 2007 Jesus taught that both believing and forgiving are key to effective prayer. Why do you think they are important?
to be a faithful believer and follower of Christ, our actions need to be consistent and our faith needs to be fruitful. We have to forgive others who sin against us just as we have been forgiven. It we are not fruitful, not faithful, we will not have salvation.

August 22, 2007 Jesus was angered by religious people inappropriately taking people`s money (robber`s den). Why did Jesus take such dramatic action and not just condemn with words?
the religious leaders dishonored the house of worship and this angered Jesus and added to the conflict and growing debate between the religious leaders and Jesus. The religious leaders were intent on questioning the authority and ministry of Jesus.

August 22, 2007 The common people are praising Jesus, expecting him to become Israel`s next king. Jesus knew they would turn against him a few days later when he disappointed their expectation. Do you have expections of Jesus which he did not promise?
No. Jesus spoke the truth and showed us immeasurable love. He sacrificed Himself so that we may be forgiven for our sins and have everlasting life. He showed us to turn away from our sins. Rather, it is us humans that promise to live a Christian life, but yet are influenced by the world and not up to expectations.

August 22, 2007 What did the blind man acknowledge about Jesus by calling him the "Son of David."? Note: David was a great king of Israel. The "Messiah" was predicted to be a direct descendent of David, as Jesus was.
the blind man acknowledged that Jesus is the Messiah, our Savior.
