Cross Jesus - sewingdivine.com Five days before His crucifixion, Jesus had seated Himself upon a colt, the foal of a donkey, to travel a rough and dusty road to Jerusalem. While this simple, mundane act was something people did daily, for Jesus, it fulfilled Zechariah’s prophecy and once again identified Him as Israel’s Messiah.   But Jewish eyes were veiled .   Many who had heard Him teach and witnessed His miracles of the past three years took palm branches and met Him on the road. “Hosanna!” they cried. “Blessed is He who comes in the name of the LORD. The King of Israel.” Yet others were there only for the show.   “The hour has come that the Son of Man should be glorified,” Jesus said.   Knowing the meaning of His statement was hidden from the disciples, [1] He elaborated using a metaphor all could relate to.   But Jewish eyes were veiled .   This was the moment in time when Jesus would be the grain of wheat that falls into the...

  timothy-eberly-wnrxQGBhbh8-unsplash Five years after the 2020 “Summer of Love,” people with no conscience or morality have started up once more. The so-called “peaceful protests” over George Floyd’s death were anything but peaceful. They were violent mobs ruining lives and cities. And, here we go again. Protesters are lighting L.A. on fire this time against I.C.E. deportations.   The U.S. I mmigration and C ustoms E nforcement is doing its job to keep Americans safe. Praise God for the wisdom and guidance He gave President Trump. When the governor and mayor stood idly by, our President brought law and order with the National Guard and Marines.   Any rational mind knows when a person’s first act of entering a new country is breaking the law, they are criminals who must be deported. But L.A. has chosen to protect criminals to the detriment of its legal citizens.   The Communist/Marxist NGO’s whose goal is to destroy America have funded and backed Antifa...

  www.sewingdivine.com   Most of us pride ourselves on being educated,   well-informed, and confident in this life. But   let me ask,  “What do we really know?”    We research and study many subjects: the   human body, animals, birds, marine life,     insects, the ground beneath our feet, and the   vast sky above. But sadly, the knowledge we   gain is limited by our finite minds.       Thinking we know how our bodies work and what it takes to heal them, we forge ahead with educated guesses. Yet, many times the answer is beyond our capacity to know, and doctors are forced to say, “There’s nothing more we can do.” Researchers and virologists study diseases and viruses, and just when they think they have a cure for one, another pops up out of nowhere, and it’s back to the drawing board.   Over the years, we ingenious humans have gained incredible knowledge. In fact, I h...

      www.sewingdivine.com Jealousy, like poison, ruled their hearts. Although these chief priests and scribes saw the wonderful things He did and heard the joyful squeals of children crying out, “Hosanna to the Son of David,” the blackness in their souls kept them from believing. Envy mixed with rage hurled words like daggers. “We must kill this heretic,” they said.   Satan stood in their midst, snickering. His plan to destroy the Son of God was nearing consummation. Slaying the Son would expel the Almighty, and Satan would be freed from his temporary prison to fully rule earth, its inhabitants, and soon, heaven.   Passover was at hand, and Satan saw his chance when Judas pocketed donated coins. Entering this disciple, he compelled him to strike a deal with the chief priests. For thirty pieces of silver, Judas would betray his Messiah.   Madness tormented as he led the soldiers to Jesus and identified the Holy One with a kiss. Throughout ...
