ITS ALL ABOUT HIM www.jesuscentral.com/10846   May 08, 2006 COMPASSTIONATE-JESUS WHEN I THINK AND READ OF THE COMPASSION HE HAD AND HAS FOR PEOPLE I THINK IT IS AWESOME. READING TODAYS LESSON MADE ME THINK OF WHEN JESUS WAS SPEAKING OF HIS PEOPLE AS BEING SHEEP, AND HE SAYS THAT THE ONES THAT STRAY AWAY ARE THE ONES THAT HE IS TRUELY CONCERNED FOR AND THATS HOW IT WAS FOR THESE PEOPLE. HE WAS ONLY CONCERNED ABOUT THOSE THAT WERE OUTCASTS IN THEIR SOCIETY. AND THE FAITH THAT THEY HAD WAS AMAZING. WHEN THE BLIND WERE CALLING OUT TO HIM TO OPEN THEIR EYES I FIND MY SELF CALLING ON HIM IN JUST THAT WAY, NOT IN THE LITERAL SENSE BUT TO OPEN MY EYES SO THAT I MAY NIT STUMMBLE IN MY QUEST FOR HIM1!!

Favorite Violation May 04, 2006 FIRST CENTURY CONTEXT AND HISTORY I FIND MYSELF IMAGINING LIFE IN JESUS` TIME AND IT WOULD NO DOUBT BE VERY DIFFERRENT NOT FROM THE OPPRESSION ALONE BUT WHEN I THINK ABOUT IT ONE WOULDN`T WONDER WHY THESE PEOPLE WERE SEARCHING FOR THE MESSIAH. WHEN THINGS ARE SO BAD LOOKING FOR SOMEONE OR SOMETHING TO CHANGE OUR SITUATION IS PROBABLY HOW PEOPLE COPE. KEEPING FAITH THAT IT CAN AND WILL GET BETTER. MY QUESTION IS THIS THEN, WHERE DID THE OLD TESTIMENT COME FROM" I`M NEW TO THE TEACHINGS OF THE BIBLE SO PLEASE EXCUSE MY IGNORANCE. I THINK AN ANSWER WOULD SHED A LIGHT ON MY UNDERSTANDING OF THE PEOPLE DURING THIS TIME By: Dana Villarreal - May 04, 2006 - Public Category: Life of Jesus - First Century Context of Palestine (Israel) Comment Helpful?
