Chapter 19 opens with Jesus having left Galilee and was heading to Judah and His mission at the cross. However, Jesus made many stops along the way to minister to crowds wanting healing, Pharisees wanting answers, disciples wanting no interruptions by children, and a rich man wanting to keep his all. Jesus addressed all the ‘wants’ with wisdom, patience, and love, and yet, He never compromised the gospel in order to make it acceptable to man.

Warrior or Worrier?
The bread is in the oven, the lentil soup is almost ready, the table is set. O, I still have so much to do, and there sits Mary at the feet of Jesus. She is so irritating! She fussed and fumed. Doesn’t she know Lazarus could entertain Jesus? She should be helping me!
I’m a Wannabe
I do know of One whose more than a wannabe. He is. He is a mighty and proactive Leader of people! Moses experienced that first-hand. This Leader led a mass of people in a most dramatic way. He was a pillar of cloud (like a controlled tornado funnel) by day to lead the way and by night, a pillar of fire to give the people light. He cleared a path by parting the Red Sea. He led them though wilderness for 40 years to their destination – the Promised Land.
