As I expected, keeping up with the blog is a challenge! Sometimes I just am too lazy to log on and type something, and other times I don't have anything interesting to say!
Today's OT reading is a little on the dull side... Except that it's interesting to note the very explicit detailed instructions God gave with regard to the building of the Tabernacle, and for the making of the priestly garments. I suppose it would be good to remember the next time I want to fudge a little on the details of obedience that God is pretty specific in His nature, and not at all "general".
In the NT reading in Matthew it is several parables. In the story of the ten virgins the point is that we are all responsible for our own spiritual condition. It can't be bought or borrowed at the last minute.... The story of the talents shows how important it is to use well what God has entrusted to us. Not just money, but time talent etc. as well. It doesn't matter how much we have of something, but it sure does matter how we use what we do have. In the parable of the sheep and goats really emphasises the importance of serving others in the life of a Christian. "I tell you the truth" Jesus says, "whenever you did/didn't do.... onto the least of these brothers of mine you did/didn't do it unto me"
