1. His zeal for the temple worship / Word of God.
2. God can see our hearts, and knows what fruit is present, better than we ourselves.
3. God knows the final outcome. Jeremiah 29:11-14

It enables us to also “see” the outcome - our future in Heaven.
Want others to know the Truth and be in Heaven as well.

1. Fulfilling the prophesy by riding on a donkey.
2. importance in bearing fruit like the Fig tree it is useless unless it does it Job.
3. Wants all people to be saved. That is why he questions us.

We chose #3 He gives us the best answer key through his word, anything and everything we want to know he gives to us in his word. His word never fails he never lies or leads us astray.

Spreading his word is the easiest thing to do even little children can say Jesus died for me.

[brorings]

1. Jesus keeps trying to lead the religious leaders back to faith.
2. He gives his disciples visuals (object lessons) and then uses them to teach.
3. He re-directs the people in the "market place" to return to the true purpose of the temple courts.

Since Jesus was that patient with others, he is also patient with me.

We love because he first loved us. 1 John 4:19

Thank you - great 1,2,3 answers and applications! It's fun seeing the different Biblical truths each of you found and solid ways of applying them to our hearts and lives.

[Kara]

1. He keeps teaching the disciples even though they don't fully get it.
2. He continues boldly proclaiming the truth to the priests and the teachers of the law, calling them to repentance.
3. He shows his zeal for meaningful worship and fruitful Christian lives.

I trust Jesus because his grace (and patience) are relentless, right up until He comes again. No matter what or how much my sin, he has already died for it. His truth never changes. He doesn't change his mind, and doesn't change the rules (like adding those crazy Korban laws). I can trust Him because He has proven that He is a sure thing by his life, his sacrifice, fulfilling every prophecy.

Jesus' act of relentless grace motivates me to worship Him, to boldly proclaim Him all the more in these difficult times, to find creative ways to worship and study with others and to serve Him. I want others to have the sure hope that I have.
