The verse just before our verse for today reads like this: 33 But the woman, fearing and trembling, knowing what had happened to her, came and fell down before Him and told Him the whole truth. Link to Text
She told Him the whole truth. The whole truth, an excellent place to begin. Tell Him the whole truth. He knows it anyway, but honesty opens our hearts for healing.
Precedence set; we know GOD knew the answer when He asked the question, and we know He knew the answer to all the other questions He asked in Scripture. You can follow His questions through the Old Testament right on into the New Testament.
Peter answered Him. We too have or will answer Him. (See Philippians 2:10-11) If you haven’t answered Him already, and if He is asking you now, today would be a great day to respond. Check out Mark 8 to see how Peter answered Him.
I thought you might find this interesting. As I sit gathering this information for posting, it is Monday. Today, around 2,000 years ago, YESHUA cleansed the temple on the Monday after He entered into Jerusalem on what we call Palm Sunday.
He entered the Temple late Sunday afternoon/evening. Mark 11:11 tells us He went into the temple, looked around, and as the hour was late, He went out to Bethany for the night. The next day, Monday, He overturned some tables and upset some People.
That brings us to today, Tuesday. Today, He will tell some parables, and some controversy will arise. You may read about Tuesday’s happenings at Matthew 21:23 – 24:51. Mark 11:27 – 13:37. Luke 20:1-21:36.
John is quiet on the subject.
I hope this is helpful to you, and as you read the Scripture, I hope HOLY SPIRIT will make these passages of Scripture come alive for you, and that your love for JESUS will grow immensely.
We are glad you are here; stay a while, look around, and be encouraged. There are over 3,500 posts here at The White Stone Blog. Please know my hope is ALWAYS to help and NEVER harm. I have voiced many opinions and thoughts here since 2007 and by now I MAY NOT EVEN AGREE with all of them and some of my grammar and punctuation likely needs editing. But this is changeless: JESUS is our ONLY Savior and Hope. Do you KNOW Him?
