Divided

"I tell you, of all who have ever lived, none is greater than John. Yet even the least person in the Kingdom of God is greater than he is!” 29 When they heard this, all the people—even the tax collectors—agreed that God’s way was right, for they had been baptized by John. 30 But the Pharisees and experts in religious law rejected God’s plan for them, for they had refused John’s baptism. (Luke 7:28-30 NLT)

We live in a very divided nation. The political divide is obvious. Racial divisions are being promoted for political gain. 
The social economic divide is real. There is a big difference between the ultra rich and those living in poverty.

The people in Israel when Jesus began His public ministry were divided over John the Baptist. They would be divided over Jesus before He entered Jerusalem on Palm Sunday. The biggest, most important division today is still over who Jesus is. "Who is Jesus?" is the most important question any of us must answer. No one else can answer for you. Your answer changes everything.

    My name is Larry. Right now I am serving as the Intentional Interim or Transitional Pastor at St. Michael's Lutheran Church, Richville, MI. This blog is part of my daily personal time reading the Bible and talking with God. It is more of my personal thoughts than a deep theological discussion. Thanks for taking the time to join me in reading and thinking about what God has to say to us today.
