John 10-12

CH – 10 Thing 4 wanted to know what a pasture was…memaw and papa sit on over 100 acres so the image was easy for him to picture…while thing 3 wanted to know what the owner would do if he showed up and the hired servant let all the sheep die…thing 4 wanted to know about the festivals…Im certain he was just wanting an excuse to party…thing 3 wanted to know if John’s disciples were mentioned somewhere…while thing 1 wanted more clarity around blasphemy…
CH – 11 Thing 1 wanted to know if “Jesus wept” was the shortest verse…interesting we had that dialogue a few nights earlier about what the shortest verse in Scripture was…thing 4 wanted to know why people called Jesus Messiah and Shepherd…thing 3 wanted to know what the big idea was around the Jewish leaders not believing Jesus could raise a man from the dead…he also wanted to know what made Jesus cry…Thing 1 pointed out that Caiaphas prophesied…interesting to me that a man, clearly not in the will of God, still had the ability to prophesy a message from God…tons of implications to ponder there…
CH – 12 Thing 4 wanted to know why they called the money denarius…thing 3 wanted to know if they ended up killing Lazarus…thing 4 pointed out this is the 3rd time he has heard about the palm leaves…I fear our Banana tree leaves could be in jeopardy this summer…it goes something like this…dad - why are all the giant banana tree leaves on the ground…kids- we were acting out the “Triumphal entry” of Jesus…what could I say really?....thing 3 thinks its neat that Mary Magdalene’s washing of Jesus’ feet would always be remembered…
