Luk 2:46  After three days they found him in the temple, sitting among the teachers, listening to them and asking them questions.

 

Lucas 2:46     Despue's de tres di'as, lo encontraron en el templo, sentado entre los maestros de la ley, escucha'ndolos y hacie'ndoles preguntas.

 

                We find here Jesus sitting and listening to mere men. I don't know if he was asking questions to learn, or to absolutely wreck their views and challenge their knowledge. I can see Jesus saying "facts don't care about your feelings". But as for what I pull out of this scripture is to listen. I'm a student here at potter's field and I have a lot to learn. And even Jesus listened and learned like how I am supposed to be doing right now. So God has given me the opportunity to glean and learn from God's disciples that have been through what I am going through and more. They are sharing what God has done in their life and I can learn so much If I sit among them and listen. Today I had great talks with Austin and Matt. Austin poured into my life so much and it's amazing to see what God is doing in his life and it makes me want to push harder and serve God with even more. Matt encouraged me in learning Spanish. He told me what he did to become fluent. These guys spent their time into me to help me grow and increase in the Lord. And I want to listen more to guys who God has poured into longer than I've been alive

 

----------          APPLICATION          ----------

 

                For my application I'm going to talk to someone older than me and ask for their experiences in the Lord. I guess everyone here is older than me but you get the point.

Mar 16:19   So then after the Lord had spoken unto them, he was received up into heaven, and sat on the right hand of God. Mar 16:20   And they went forth, and preached every where, the Lord working with them, and confirming the word with signs following. Amen.                     Today I was focusing on the resurrection of Christ. And the importance of it. Neil was speaking on it and it really hit me something. If the resurrection isn't portrayed than an all powerful God isn't portrayed. God said he will bruise the heel of the serpent (I believe is referencing satan) and that comes in the form of the resurrection. It's the , "even if you kill me I'll still come back. There is NOTHING you can do to beat me. And on top of everything I will use the people I died for to do my work as I command them." It's the biggest spiritual slap to face in the history of ever. Jesus gave satan the largest defeat that has ever been and now he has to live kn

1Pe 4:7   But the end of all things is at hand; therefore be serious and watchful in your prayers.   1 Pedro 4:7    Ya se acerca el fin de todas las cosas. Asi' que, para orar bien, mante'nganse sobrios y con la mente despejada.                   This could be my last 5 seconds. But those 5 seconds just passed but the message I take from this is that I should never expect to live on for a long time. Live each day like it's my last. That doesn't mean be irresponsible but be zealous and have a fire that yearns for people to come to Christ right now. No body is guaranteed any time on this earth.   Lives are being lost not having been shown the love of Christ and no one has any promises of living to see the next day and does that hit my heart? I struggle to think that the sun has no guarantee to rise in the morning because I've seen it happen over and over again. I have no promises on my life here on earth. So when Jesus says, "GO". He doesn

    1Ti 3:16   Beyond all question, the mystery from which true godliness springs is great: He appeared in the flesh, was vindicated by the Spirit, was seen by angels, was preached among the nations, was believed on in the world, was taken up in glory.                     I was spending time thinking about what I means to be "vindicated be the Spirit" this word took my attention and I proceeded to look it up. In the Webster's dictionary it says literally this. " To prove or to be just or valid."   The Spirit proved that Jesus He is just and valid. This was an interesting note to me. But what is the mystery? The mystery to me is this, If Jesus did this in godliness, how do you become godly? All throughout 1 Timothy chapter 3 it talks about the qualifications of bishops and deacons. It lists practical things like "don't be given over to much wine" and "speak with integrity". But the root of all these things is godliness.
