Matthew 13-15

CH-13 - After the list of Jesus' family I thought we were going to have anarchy on our hands..as thing 3 asked what do you mean Judas was Jesus' brother? As thing 2 really gets ticked...and then she says I hope this is a different Judas...the things were a tad frustrated to realize Jesus was treated like a bastard (language mine) by his hometown...Thing 2 wanted to know how a mustard seed made mustard and how it could grow to a giant tree...which almost opened a can of worms of how the kingdom parables are grossly misunderstood and mistaught by the modern church...I refrained from a theological lesson that could have been way too deep...but instead led to another reference to the famous, at least around our house, BRICKTESTAMENT. So many moons ago thing 3 has an idea to put the Scripture in legos...low and behold someone has already put it together....please note although this site is done in legos there are ratings involved please protect yourself from untimely conversations with your 5 year old...
CH 14 - Thing 2 immediately says that was a short chapter whys that? Try explaining chapters were added around the 13th century....too much to blog...when thing 3 says what would you think if you saw Sampler, my good buddy, walking on water? In which I of course would want to join the fun...which opened the door of could we all walk on water now? ...of course we can. I'm sure we'll all try when summer hits. As Scripture always naturally transitions...thing 1 wants some clarification on why Herodias wanted John the Baptists' head on a platter...try explaining that to an 11 year old...head on a platter is totally rational..thing 3 wants to know what is wrong if he marries his brothers wife....no were not bigamist...so I'm confused...but my wife does have a cute sister.
Ch 15 - As the things display mad math skills trying to figure out how many people were fed...there was math with every man having a wife...every man having a wife and kid...and so on...we concluded Jesus fed alot of people. Thing 3 says when Jesus prays tons of people get fed.
