The Life of Jesus, Part 4 (4/10)Pavyzdys

# He is in my head Sometimes I envision what the world would look like if I could read someone’s mind. What does she really think? What is he up to? Really? I would love to know. On the other hand, what if people could hear my thoughts? If they could read my mind? That would not always be nice. I don’t think I would always be happy if my internal thoughts were out in the open. This passage of Jesus’ life shows that he knows what’s inside people's minds. Scary. People listened to the message Jesus gave. Jesus knew that they were grumbling on the inside. He didn't hear them but he knew. For the people it was shocking and amazing. But despite that, they still left him. Jesus also knew that Judas was going to betray Jesus with a kiss. You might have heard about 'Judas-kiss', the kiss of a betrayer. Despite Jesus confronting him a few times, he doesn’t change his plans. His life ends in a terrible way. He becomes desperate and commits suicide. Peter expresses what is in his head. He speaks out about how he sees Jesus, it was amazingly clear. “You have words that give eternal life”. Peter takes Jesus at his word. That made a huge difference. Peter makes mistakes. A while later he even denies that he knows Jesus. But he also took steps of faith; he believed what Jesus said. Even after denying him, Peter finds his way back to Jesus. Peter becomes the foundation of the church. How about you? Are you ready to believe in Jesus? Trust in his words? Jesus knows you. He knows how you feel about him. Despite the way you might feel about him, he still wants to get to know you.
