9.14.09 Ex17, Lk20

Exodus 17:
The people are so weak! They did not trust God for what he was going to provide. instead, they were like children whining for what they wanted. The people here didn't have water, and they complain to and blame moses for bringing them out of Egypt. poor moses. Yet, god still provide. If it was me, I'd leave them alone, see without God what They could do. Whiny people. God is still a loving a caring God for them. only he has the patience.

Luke 20:
Jesus is so smart, so wise. When his authority was questioned, he asked them questions and they couldn't answer, and so he didn't answer their questions, therefore, he didn't have to lie about his authority nor tell them the truth because they would only think that he was lying and being prideful.
The parable of the Tenant was the exact parallel to what's going to happen. We are the tenant, God is the father, and Jesus the son.
Facing many challenges, Jesus has the calmness and wisdom to answer all the quetions. he has the power from God, and a close relationship with him. I want to do that too.
