Turbulent Tuesday - cleaning up

Jesus said --
"... Come, you who are blessed by my Father; take your inheritance, the kingdom prepared for you since the creation of the world." Matthew 25:34

It's Tuesday
He's rattled the temple, He's called the Chief Priests out, He's comforted the prostitutes. It's fair to say Jesus kicked up dust on the path to the cross. Are you still holding on to His Hand? It's total turmoil, but with God, peace will fill our soul.

Turmoil... it's still happening.  With high alert health issues, economic uncertainties and dwindling school days surrounding us, we are engulfed with questions and shaky deadlines. It's a volatile time, requiring continuous  assessment of the situation. The only constant is our need for changes in our habits, actions and even deadlines. 

Jesus' deadline was set in stone. He found Himself faced with a significant, unbending, life-changing deadline, His last week on earth. This deadline was unexpected and took everyone by surprise... everyone except Jesus. Knowing His days were numbered, Jesus unleashed many lessons --

To His followers He encouraged them to choose rightly and righteously.
To His critics, the religious leaders, He scolded them for misguiding His sheep. 
To the unbelievers, He gave warnings. 
To the believers, He reminded them about being ready and watchful, as He instilled in them the hope of things to come. 

Jesus holds nothing back for He has nothing to lose, and everything to gain... another believer, joining His family for eternity. He did and will do whatever it takes to reach even one more. 

we are loved and chosen by God,

may we live like we believe it,
