Correction

Mark 12:32-33 And the scribe said to him, “You are right, Teacher; you havetruly said that he is one, and there is no other but he; and tolove him with all the heart, and with all the understanding, andwith all the strength, and to love one’s neighbor as oneself, ismuch more than all whole burnt offerings and sacrifices.”


Can you imagine the nerve of this guy. He comes up to the one that everyone has been following, the rock star of his time and not only questions him but has the audacity to tell him he gave a correct answer. Can you imagine telling God that he got something right or wrong. Well maybe I can imagine it come to think of it. Haven't you ever thought, "Gee God you couldn't really mean that, could you?" I've caught myself many times second guessing God and I know there must be lots of other times I didn't even notice.


One of the issues of humanity is that we have trouble giving up wanting to be God. If only I was in charge, certainly things would be different. I loved the movie "Bruce Almighty". Marsha couldn't stand Jim Carey but I liked a few things he did. Bruce Almighty is God turning over control to Bruce. It was funny and yet filled with satirical truth. We all like the idea of having life our way, but what a mess we would make if it were so. I spent years as a teacher correcting everyone else's work, but I think I'll try to leave God's stuff alone.
