Deep Dark depression. Darkness that hurts so much you'd just assume die. I can’t feel God anymore! Ever feel like you're getting the silent treatment from God? Jesus can relate. Psalms 88:14 My soul cast off, Your face is hidden from Me. Why does God allow it? For what purpose?
Jesus goes back to His hometown of Nazareth. They know Him there as the 'Carpenter'. He gives His first sermon that's recorded in the Bible, less than a minute long and He was rejected immediately by His own people!
Why would Jesus help this guy out? Why would one of Herod’s elite seek Jesus? Because he has bigger problems than politics, his child is dying.
She's a lesser race and a lesser gender! Why's Jesus talking to her? She's about to win the prize of salvation though, and the apostles are about to get schooled.
The religious world considered her worthless because she was a foreigner and she’d been married 5 times.
Luke 2:35 “…a sword will pierce through your own soul also), that the thoughts of many hearts may be revealed.”
The second time John exclaimed "Behold the Lamb Of God"!
The First Disciples Were Andrew and ??? Jesus asked them "why are you following Me?" Why did I come to Christ? Why do you follow Him?
Most people don't know that John the Baptist said this two days in a row. John states "I did not know Him". Even later on John struggled with who Jesus was. How many of us struggle to 'know' Him?
Greedy church leaders turning church into money! That's a good way to make God mad. This is the first time Jesus Cleanses the temple, at the beginning of His ministry. This was prophesied in the book of Malachi, ironically a book that money-loving preachers twist to collect money to this day.
Is your church better than others?
Jesus is just getting started in His 3-year ministry, and there are already problems among believers who see each other as 'competition'. John The Baptist has the cure "He must increase, but I must decrease".
If anyone didn't need to partake in the baptism of repentance, it's Jesus. John tried to stop Him.
