I'm back.

Sorry I haven't posted in a while. But now, here...

I went to one of my Mothers diabetic classes the other day and for quite a while I was zoned out trying to think of some stories write, up until the doctor said, 'a normal healthy person can live up to forty days with out food or water and be alright.' Almost instantly I thought of Jesus temptation.

In Matthew 4:2 it says Jesus fasted forty days and forty nights, Moses and Elijah also fasted forty days and forty nights. However, Jesus was tempted.

I can't even go a whole day without food let alone forty days. If you think about it, he was probably a few days away from some organ shutting down, in other words he was near death. Knowing us being sinful men and women we would have sinned so quickly we wouldn't have even contemplated whether or not we were sinning. It was just interesting to think about and it shows the awesomeness of what Christ did and it shows his strength. Not to mention how big of a temptation it was!

On another note, I really get annoyed when I hear people say 'we are all Gods children and he loves us' like he is some cosmic Barney. We all ARE NOT his children, I know it might seem harsh but he calls some people children of the DEVIL. In John 8:41-44, some people were saying they were children of God, however, Jesus said their father was Satin.

John 8:42 “Jesus said to them, “If God were your father, you would love Me, for I proceeded forth and have come from God, for I have not even come on My own initiative, but He sent Me.”

So people need to not call EVERYONE children of God, some of them are children of the devil.

And another thing I thought about recently, why do people ALWAYS see Jesus on that bark of tree or on a Cheeto? You even type in the internet search and the third thing up is the 'Jesus Cheeto'. Why doesn't anyone find Satin? Not that you would want to but apparently no body was looking for Jesus either...right?
