Jesus - the Prophet - the Messiah - The King!!

Revised and extended

From very early Jesus was seen as king. Jesus claimed a kingdom, not of this world.  He is king of his kingdom. He has and welcomes servants (followers) but his retinue is unique.  "The Kingdom of God/Heaven" was a major topic for Jesus. At the time many wrong (human) ideas about God's kingdom were prevalent. Jesus rejected use of force or compulsion.

Did Jesus Really Say Buy SWORDS? (Edn 2)

Edged blades as weapons were commonplace in the era of Jesus. The sword was a vital part of the soldier's equipment.

Did Jesus Really Get ANGRY?

A Day of Anger - Jesus' anger and their fury.

Truly sad to say, one Sabbath day people were so very angry when Jesus healed a man.

Did Jesus Really NOT CARE for Her? (or, Martha's Mistakes)

Did Jesus actively care for Martha?

Martha, a kind, hard-working, and dutiful lady had to learn about what is better and to recognise, after all, that Jesus was truly caring for her. Luke gives us a brief compressed pericope, with two unusual words, and it comes with even some alternative (puzzling) clauses.

Like Jesus' Glorious Body (Revised 2)

This phrase comes from Paul, the Apostle of Jesus. 

Here it is with some more context. But our citizenship is in heaven, and from it we await a Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ, who will transform our lowly body to be like his glorious body, by the power that enables him even to subject all things to himself (Philippians 3:20-21 ESV).

Voter help - Perhaps ! AFTERWORD (3)

The voters have made their choice and the election is over (apart from the little detail of the scrutiny = the count of every ballot paper). There will be many envelopes to receive and open - it will take a few days.

I went to a busy polling place on the Saturday and saw the crowd and the congested footpath. I also saw the strength of our democratic process. (That word, "democracy", is originally about the "ordinary" people having power.)
