gospel of matthew new new testament chapter 16

matthew chapter 16

Some Pharisees and Sadducees wanted to trap Jesus into exposing himself for the rebel he was. Make him do miracles.

Jesus doesn't take the bait. He tells them they can see what weather is coming but can't see the signs of the times.

"You godless people want to see a trick, wait see what happens when you nail me on a cross."

Jesus does a bread story to show how come no one should think about what the Priest and lawyers say.

We know now there are reasons better than bread. Hell. Some people don't even eat the stuff.

Peter told Jesus he was the real Jesus. The one.

This is hopefully not true. I doubt Jesus was the first to question his ancestor's laws.

Part of the tragedy of this making religion out of stories, even if some things are true, is that Jesus seems impossible to be, unless you have a holy stamp from God.

Well, it ain't like that. Jesus was anyone. And anyone can say and do as they please if they can get a following. And Jesus was going for the Gentiles. Most of the humans.

Just to show how progressive we have become. Even Jews can be Gentiles.

How about this. It is a common belief hammered into us that we suck. We are far short of being like holy people.

Wrong.

Most of our Catholic holy people are tyrants.

One that wasn't was Mother Teresa. They made her holy, or talked about it.

To make it look like she was something abnormal. Okay, she was, unfortunately perhaps, but she was anyone. Just like Jesus or anyone else can prance around and tell you to.

Bloody well wake up.

Flog.

Where were we.

Ah, yes.

Jesus explains to them why he has to hang on the cross.

"Look guys. A new religion pops out every day, like a teenager with zits. 4 days before the prom he 's ..."

"Jesus."

"Right, James. If we are to sell our story in any form, we have to do up a big promotion. It may take 2 thousand and 7 years for someone to hear the meaning of our actions. The story must survive and I must get up on a cross, get nailed to it at the eclipse, die at the darkest moment. Get put in a tomb and be found gone 3 days later."

"But Lord Jesus, you could really die up there."

"I've got no choice, Peter."

"You do, Jesus Christ."

"No Peter, I am what I am. Just because the God's we have been given to believe are not real does not mean that our actions have no meaning. We are a part of evolution that could be something so brilliant. If I die up there, know that I, or someone who believes he knows me, will see there was some meaning in my brutal death."

"Jesus Christ."

"Just make sure I get my special vinegar at the right time and it will slow me to a coma. Don't let the bastards break my legs."

"Jesus Christ, Jesus."

"Peter. Relax. If we do this right, neither of us will die before we are really old and wise men enjoying the company of young and foolish women."

Judas, the little brother of Jesus, dreaded the plan more than anyone. Jesus had told him he was the one to deliver him to the enemy troops.

I missed the part about Jesus giving his disciples the keys to heaven. Key ideas. And that's sort of true.

Understanding is a long process. It is part of us that we make a story that lasts.

The Son of Man comes as King.

Oh.

And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.

Jesus is God!
