Changed Feelings on the Day Jesus Rose!

 A day is a long time - in the experiencing of a resurrected Saviour!
The first mentioned reaction on the day Jesus rose* from the dead was on the part of guards.

Risen from the Dead - Jesus!

 Such incredible news at the time. Is it now less so?

Jesus' (borrowed) tomb held only wrappings and spices..

Jesus' Last Words - which were not Final!

Jesus’ final utterances (but which were not final!)

Garden Arrest; Coins Earned: Jesus Betrayed (Edn 2)

 The final few minutes of Jesus' freedom were spent in a garden. It may have been hereabouts.

The location was known as Gethsemane.

Jesus and That Coin (edited 3)

Give Caesar's to Caesar, and God's to God. 

Jesus wanted a denarius. Why? But, knowing their hypocrisy, he said to them, “Why put me to the test? Bring me a denarius and let me look at it” (Mark 12:15 ESV).

Wine, Skin, and Bread

 Did you ever see a water bag of canvas, or hessian?

The canvas water bag was not a skin but it could hold water, and even cool it. There was some loss, with water moving through the fabric. However, it was durable and effective.

Consider these words of Jesus: No one pours new wine into old wineskins. The wine would swell and burst the old skins.[b] Then the wine would be lost, and the skins would be ruined. New wine must be put into new wineskins. Both the skins and the wine will then be safe (Matthew 9:16-17 CEV).

Voter help - Perhaps ! (edited 3)

PS Things change (eg, boundaries). On the AEC website, CHECK YOUR ENROLMENT.

Elections matter. A lot.

“Well, then,” Jesus said, “give to Caesar what belongs to Caesar, and give to God what belongs to God.” His reply completely amazed them (Mark 12:17 NLT). Do these words of Jesus, spoken in different times and a different place, support civic responsibility on our part? Do we actually have civic responsibility today? (Jesus' amazing words actually call for greater thought than I will give them at this point.)*

Voter help here - maybe?

An old/new controversy re "marriage equality" (edited)

I saw a recent "The Other Cheek" report on this - now old news!

Here is a lengthy exract:

Opportunity lost - Opportunity taken

Could Jesus really give to different men exactly opposite directions to follow?

Do you see here that men grateful to Jesus had opportunity to do exactly as Jesus said...
