days was to invite the wrath and punishment of the powers that be, because=
you were saying that person was the Messiah. From our point of view,=
he was correct. In that time period, however, it was a courageous ac=
t. Or foolhardy, if we judge the crowd’s reaction. Perhaps he k=

se you because we can declare you as our Savior and stand on the evidence o=
f our faith. Bless us as we remember Your goodness, mercy and grace.&=
nbsp; In Jesus name, AMEN.
