Jesus told the Sadducees,
How little we understand.
"You are badly misled because you
fail to understand the Scriptures
and the power of God."
Matthew 22:29
We can be misled.
Do you study the Bible?
Do you pray for the Holy
Spirit to enlighten you
when you read the Bible?
Do you understand?
Do you fail?
Do you feel the power of God?
Come.
Come and see.
Come and read.
Pray.
The Lord is all powerful.
He is full of wisdom.
Seek the Lord Jesus.
He will not fail you.
He will not fail.
He will accomplish his purpose.
Will you accomplish your purpose?

Train a boy in the way he should go;

The kindly man will be blessed,

The Lord loves the pure of heart...

Do you hear the sounds?
Are you curious to meet him?
He is God.
He has come to earth.
It is unbelievable.
Jesus was fully man and fully God.
He walked on this earth

It must have been a very

Jesus told the parable of the laborers
The Lord is very generous.
in the vineyard. Some laborers
worked all day and some worked
just an hour. They were all paid
the same daily wage.
"The owner of the vineyard said,
'Take your pay and go home.
I intend to give this man who
was hired last the same pay
as you. I am free to do as I
please with my money, am I not?
Or are you envious because
I am generous?'
Thus the last shall be first
and the first shall be last."
Matthew 20:14-16
He is full of mercy.
He is kind.
Is it fair?
God can do whatever he wants.
He is God.
We do not understand his mercy.
Can a person lead a life of sin
and get in the door at the
last hour?
It is possible.
An example is the thief on
the cross next to Jesus.
The thief had led a life of sin,
but Jesus forgave him
as he was dying.
It is the 11th hour.
So are you first
or are you last?
Are you envious?
Will you turn from your
evil ways?
Will you ask God to forgive you?
He is very generous.

The disciples asked Jesus,
What does it mean to become
"Who is of greatest importance
in the kingdom of God?"
He called a little child over and
stood him in their midst and said:
"I assure you,
unless you change and become like
little children,
you will not enter the kingdom of God.
Whoever makes himself lowly,
becoming like this child is of
greatest importance
in that heavenly reign."
Matthew 18:1-4
like little children?
Are there any little children
that have great wealth and power?
That could be a clue.
We are not clueless.
Jesus says to make yourself lowly.
That is pretty obvious.
Are you all puffed up?
Are you the greatest?
Jesus asks you to be humble.
Think of others as more important
than you.
Serve others.
Trust.
Look to others for help.
I wonder what happened to this
little child.
What became of them?
What did they grow up to be?
Some day we will know.
What will you be?
Are you trusting?
Do you have a simple faith
in God and others?
Do you believe in miracles?
Are you a child?

Matthew 17:20
Could you do that?
Do you believe it?
Not?
Well, then you can't do it.
It takes faith.
Ask the Lord Jesus today

Pick a mountain,

One mountain would be sin in your life.
Can you cast it out?
No?
Yes, it takes faith.
You and Jesus can cast out sin.

"Jesus then said to his disciples:
Deny yourself?
Yesterday, I wrote a letter to Christine.
'If a man wishes to come after me,
he must deny his very self,
take up his cross,
and begin to follow in my footsteps.
Whoever would save his life will lose it,
but whoever loses his life for my sake
will find it.
What profit would a man show
if he were to gain the whole world
and destroy himself in the process?
What can a man offer in exchange
for his very self?'"
Matthew 16:24-26
What?
You mean give something up?
Do you deny yourself anything?
Follow Jesus.
Do you see his footsteps?
Where do they lead?
Are you even looking for them?
What would Jesus do?
Do you want to win?
Do you have a goal?
If your goal is to make all the money
you can and live a very comfortable
life,
you lose.
If you live for Jesus,
you win.
You have nothing to offer
except your life.
Is your life something to offer?
Is something there?
Is anything there?

it is worthless.

The sun came up behind these trees south

I don't think there was cloud in the sky.
A few minutes later when I was leaving my house there
was a "fly over" of about 40 or 50

That was really cool.
The day before when I arrived for the wake
at 78 and Center there was a sun dog

The wake really helped me.
Many friends stopped by.
It was good to see them.
I needed that.
Many people came to the funeral.
At the end of the services in the church
on 44 and Bancroft I stood up and thanked
everyone for coming on behalf of the family.

The title was too small in the paper.
The advertisement was hard to spot.

Awake!
Come alive.
