Have you been scolded

In today's reading we come to notice that Jesus scolded a special group people. He scolded them not once or twice but he went about it 8 times. Have you been scolded 8 times by anyone in a space of few minutes? But this special group of people are by no mean ordinary people, in fact they are the religious leaders who are supposed to know their Holy Bible well.

In a nutshell, tragically these religious leaders have turned a wonderful relationship with God into a mere legalistic religion.

Let this passage today be a mirror for us to examine ourselves. Are we following a religion on a path of hatred & conflict or are we having a meaningful personal walk with God living in peace & love?

Do have a great meal today!

So Moses gave the command, and this message was sent throughout the camp: "Men and women, don't prepare any more gifts for the sanctuary. We have enough!" So the people stopped bringing their sacred offerings. – Exodus 36:6

About Me

My photo
In Oct 1989,JESUS rescued me from suicide. I didn't even know it was HIM. I thought it was the goddess of mercy that my mother has worshipped all her life. 3 weeks later, Jesus spoke to me again through a servant pastor in a church - "Remove your masks, get your relationship right with God and man with LOVE and AFFECTION!". My life was changed ! What an amazing grace?
