Numbers 4:1-5:31
Teh tasks given to Moses by God and again the high level of detail and organization are quite evident. Organization is a means to an end and not an end in itself. A popular line is the church is an organism, not an organization, but being organized is an important part of that organism. I truly believe God wants my family to be organized and these messages so early in the spirit walk will prepare for the future and avoid potential chaos created by lack of organization.
Mark 12:18-37
The type of Pharises who question Jesus seem to be especially brazen and they try to show Jesus the proper scripture. They try to use such insignificant reference and unimportant scriptures to "catch" Him. The next Pharises to challenge Jesus seem to have a different approach than the others. He seems to be actually open to the words that Jesus is speaking. After he asks Jesus his questions, his heart seems to be changing; he seems to be questioning the ones or maybe himself and the motives for his questions. jesus states "You are close to the kingdom of Heaven." Is this a compliment or a backhanded compliment; does it show progression or is this a negative comment? I would not want to end up close to the kingdom of heaven, as the old addage about grenades, etc. This is one that I would not want to end up close on. The depth of these passages are utterly awesome.
