No Monopoly Of Grace


"As the Passover of the Jews was at hand, Jesus went up to Jerusalem. In the Temple court he found merchants selling oxen, sheep and doves, and money-changers seated at their tables. Making a whip of cords, he drove them all out of the Temple court, together with the oxen and sheep. He knocked over the tables of the money-changers, scattering the coins, and ordered the people selling doves, 'Take all this away and stop turning my Father's house into a marketplace!'

"His disciples recalled the words of Scripture: Zeal for your House devours me as a fire.

"The Jews questioned Jesus, 'Where are the miraculous signs which give you the right to do this?' And Jesus said, 'Destroy this temple and in three days I will raise it up.' The Jews then replied, 'The building of this temple has already taken forty-six years, and you will raise it up in three days?'

"Actually, Jesus was referring to the temple of his body. Only when he ha risen from the dead did his disciples remember these words; then they believed both the Scripture and the words Jesus has spoken.

"Jesus stayed in Jerusalem during the Passover Festival and many believed in his Name when they saw the miraculous signs he performed. But Jesus did not trust himself to them, because he knew all of them. He had no need of evidence about anyone for he himself knew what there was in each one."

JOHN 2:13-25

"Lord, thank You for grace.
Overflowing, rampaging, reckless grace!"

i hate self-righteous people who thinks that just because they are "fanatics", they are the only one who has the right to receive God's blessings. lalo na yung mga banal na aso santong kabayo. ang galing magdasal paglabas ng simbahan ang galing magmura. marami akong kilala na ganyan. kung pwede lang sabihin ko na magmumog ng holy water sa simbahan para bumait gagawin ko. hayy..ang akin lang nobody's perfect, nobody has the right (no matter how religious you may be) to judge anybody. si God lang ang may right gawin yun. just my two cents worth. ;-)
