Mar 10 - Jesus Messiah

So the Isrealites started complaining again. Some of the men that were sent out to yesterday to check out the land they were promised reported back that they would be slaughtered if they entered. The current inhabitants were much bigger and stronger even though the land was as beautiful as promised they didn't want to enter and be killed. "If only we had died in Egypt, or even here in the wilderness!" the people complained. "Why is the Lord taking us to this country only to have us die in battle? Our wives and our little ones will be carried of as plunder!" "Let's choose a new leader and go back to Egypt!" Now all of this really ticked off the Lord. "How long will these people treat me with contempt? Will they never believe me, even after all the miraculous signs I have done among them?" After a long talk with Moses He decides not to wipe them out but has Moses tell them " You will not enter and occupy the land I swore to give you....You said your children would be carried off as plunder. I will bring them safely into the land, and they will enjoy what you have despised. But as for you, you will drop dead in this wilderness. And your children will be like shepherds, wandering in the wilderness for forty years." hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm hmmmmmmmmmmmm hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm?? Somebody tell somebody have Faith!

The new testament today Jesus is taken and beaten. The leading priests and high council were trying to find evidence against him but they couldn't find any. The high priest stood up before the others and asked Jesus, "Are you the Messiah, the Son of the Blessed One?" Jesus said, "I Am. And you will see the Son of Man seated in the place of power at God's right hand and coming on the clouds of heaven." Then the high priest tore his clothing to show his horror and said, "Why do we need other witnesses? You have heard his blasphemy. What is h your verdict?" "Guilty!" they all cried. "He deserves to die!"

Peter is strolling through courtyards and the streets when when he was proclaimed by others to know Jesus 3 times and all three times he denied it. On the last denial he immediately herd a rooster crow the second time. Suddenly, Jesus' words flashed though Peter's mind: "Before the rooster crows twice, you will deny three times that you even know me." And he broke down and wept.
