CH - 25 Thing 3 had some questions about the virgins...explained that some virgins were prepared for the return of the Groom and others were not....which brought up questions around the security of the believer...ps that's not how the question was phrased...but was the thought behind it...thing 3 was not happy that the groom knew the virgins were outside and did not let them in....love his heart...he is quite the gentleman...moving to the next parable....thing 3 asked why didn't the slaves who earned more talents give some to the guy who didn't have any...thing 3 believed the best thing would be to give some to the guy who didn't have any...I love the play on words here especially in English...what talents do you have that you may be hiding? or at least not using to advance the kingdom? You have been given such talents not to be selfish with...the things are pretty excited to find out about the benefits of serving others...everything they do for other people...they do to Jesus....great parables....I absolutely love the stories Jesus is sharing with us here right before his death...
CH - 26 All things are moved by the heart of Peter...thing 2 is encouraged at how broken Peter was for denying Jesus...she says she gets upset when she fails...Thing 1wanted to know from Jesus statement if Peter died from the sword...thing 3 immediately states what tradition says...that Peter died on a cross that was upside down...Once again the religiousness of thing 3...he wants names...he want the names of those false witnesses...thing 1 wants to know why the lady wiping Jesus feet name wasn't mentioned...I told her she is mentioned by name in another Gospel...the things recognized something tonight that I have recognized before...at the Last Supper each disciple calls Jesus Lord...except Judas he calls him teacher...we must know Jesus as more than a great philosophical teacher He must be the Lord of your life...very subtle but that is a huge difference...
CH - 27 thing 3 has many more questions about Joseph of Arimathea than I have answers...but here a few interesting tid bits...Josesph was very wealthy....po folk didn't have have personal tombs... more intriguing to me is that he was in hiding...that is what the original text states...not that he was a secret follower but that he was a follower in hiding...I wonder who he was having to hide from...and lastly the gipper...he had personal access to Pilate...not many could approach Pilate and to ask for the body he had to be kin...yep he had to be related to Jesus in some way to ask for his body...you piece all that together...yeh it adds an amazing dynamic
CH - 28 Jesus says He has all authority... GO...translated means "as you are going...go with purpose"....make disciples...observe and remember
