Friday's Thoughts

What do you say to the crowd?

What do you say to the Romans who are worried the disciples are "raising Cain"? You tell them to cool it.

What do the Pharisees say to the crowd concerned about the revelation that Jesus is the Messiah of Israel and the disciples are raising eyebrows because they were embarrassing? You tell them to be silent.

What does Jesus say to the crowd when he thought they were raising praise to God? He told them to keep it up and make it louder because "raising praising" is what we were put here on this earth to do.

There is a little bit of each of them in us. Some of us are afraid of chaos. Some of us are an embarrassment in the way we express our faith. Some of us life a life of praise only we need to do it a little more often and a little louder.

Which part are we most?
