Believing in Gods timing has helped me,not to worry as much and to understand God will act when the time is right. Easter blessings to all.

Thanks for you sharing your research on this particular story on Jesus. It was illuminating, and I appreciate your asking questions that are perhaps difficult to answer. I don’t think that The Lord wants us as mindless drones, never questioning the stories in the Bible. I’ve always wondered about the one where Jesus curses the fig tree; I just don’t get it. Maybe it could be the subject of one of your posts. Thanks again.

Thanks Dan for making us think a bit! The pieces of the puzzle might be confusing to us and where they fit in incongruous, but I’m thinking everything is in God’s time and not always for us to understand! It comes down to pondering those odd and seemingly inconsistent phrases to draw us closer
and then, that word…trust.

Moral Lesson From Christ’s act of running and hiding: Man of God who is a miracle worker has no that mandate for egoitism; self defence, self esteem and self occupation, rather must let the actual will of God be permissive in his actions and reactions. By hiding God makes you an asset more sort for. Remember “He who runs from fight today runs to fight another day”
