Observations...

I was pondering what to post next which makes me reflect. The school district in which I work for as well as all of the public schools in the great state of North Carolina have their students take what are called end-of-grade (EOG) tests and these help judge how well you do as a school and district. I am proud to say that I work for a school which year in and year out make and exceed all of our goals. All bragging aside I was contemplating writing to you about the validity or non-validity of year-end testing. However, I changed my mind.
At the end of John 6 Jesus is talking with Peter and the others and basically there is one amongst you from the devil. Of course He is referring to Judas Iscariot who betrayed Jesus and handed Him over to the authorities. Jesus KNEW this was to happen, He knew why it had to happen, AND He could have ended it at ANY time yet He went through the torture so we didn't have to. How does He do this? I am not denying the He did do this I am just wondering how and why? Are we worth it? My answer to that must be NO! SO why? A friend of mine has a list of questions she plans on asking Jesus when she has a chance face to face and says she is "adding to my list!" whenever a question like this comes up.
I feel that it is a question in which I will add to my list. My list is long but will not be asked until AFTER I have had the time to kiss the hands and feet of the ONE who allowed me to be there.
