Jesus' authority was questioned by chief priests. He taught at the temple. (Matthew 21:18-25)
This is what took place on Tuesday of Holy Week. They were always trying to trap Jesus but Jesus was always a step ahead of them in their questions!
Tom
Holy Week started yesterday. Going to give us a walk through it. Take time to read and think about the most important week in our faith! Praise Jesus our Lord for what He did for us!

“But I will sing of Your power; Yes, I will sing aloud of Your mercy in the morning; For You have been my defense And refuge in the day of my trouble. To You, O my Strength, I will sing praises; For God is my defense, My God of mercy.”
Psalms 59:16-17
Don’t matter if you sound good or not! We all have much to sing about in response to God’s power, mercy, defense, refuge, strength, and a million other blessings especially His love!
So wake each day singing to the Lord!!!

“But Joshua the son of Nun and Caleb the son of Jephunneh, who were among those who had spied out the land, tore their clothes; and they spoke to all the congregation of the children of Israel, saying: “The land we passed through to spy out is an exceedingly good land. If the Lord delights in us, then He will bring us into this land and give it to us, ‘a land which flows with milk and honey.’ Only do not rebel against the Lord, nor fear the people of the land, for they are our bread; their protection has departed from them, and the Lord is with us. Do not fear them.” And all the congregation said to stone them with stones. Now the glory of the Lord appeared in the tabernacle of meeting before all the children of Israel.”
Numbers 14:6-10
Some know the truth and have firm faith in God and some don’t! Those that don’t then want to do away with the faithful in one way or another.
Chew on that!

“Now when the people complained, it displeased the Lord; for the Lord heard it, and His anger was aroused. So the fire of the Lord burned among them, and consumed some in the outskirts of the camp.”
Numbers 11:1
Complaining when God is meeting your needs but not your wants is unthankful and as we see very displeasing to God. May we learn from this and never do that!
Tom
““The Lord bless you and keep you; The Lord make His face shine upon you, And be gracious to you;”
Numbers 6:24-25
The above word’s the priest was told to say over Israel. May we receive the same! We already know God has been gracious to us and blessed us. May we live lives that bring His glory to shine upon us as well!
