I have hidden Thy word in my heart.

Matthew 21. This Chapter is full points that need to be made (however I have to leave for work), I can’t touch on all of them, so my advice would be to take out your bible and read for yourself…see what God has to say to you. There is one point that struck me though. Jesus called out the teachers of the law using two parables, the parable of the “Two Sons” (Verses 28-32) and the parable of “The Tenants” (Verses 33-44). “When the chief priests and the Pharisees heard Jesus’ parables, they knew He was about them. They looked for a way to arrest Him, but they were afraid of the crowd because the people held that He was a PROPHET” (Verses 45-46).  A prophet? Would you throw down your cloak and sing Hosanna for a PROPHET?! That was one of the saddest things I have read in the scriptures in awhile…the people completely and totally missed the point. They missed the Messiah, they didn’t understand the scriptures, which had clearly prophesied everything they were experiencing. Not much has changed since that time, we are still missing the point today. Still not seeing the picture except for the way we want to see it. The result? We once again miss God, we miss relationship with Him. It is still just as sad today as it was back then.
