This past Sunday was Palm Sunday. If you want to learn more about Palm Sunday you can read about it in Mathew, Mark, Luke, or John in the Bible.
In Little Man’s class they were learning about the last supper and how Judas betrayed Jesus.
The class was then asked to draw a picture of the last supper. Here is Little Man’s…
Notice anything interesting? Well, this is Jesus…
Judas is next to him…
When asked by his Sunday School teachers why Judas’ head looked like that, Little Man replied “Well, because he only had half a brain!”
Hmmm… deep thoughts from a 4 year old. And how true!
How easy it is for us to be “half-brained” and betray our Lord and Savior in our words and deeds. Romans 7:15-25 shows us Paul’s heart, are we any different?
15 For what I am doing, I do not understand. For what I will to do, that I do not practice; but what I hate, that I do. 16 If, then, I do what I will not to do, I agree with the law that it is good. 17 But now, it is no longer I who do it, but sin that dwells in me. 18 For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh) nothing good dwells; for to will is present with me, but how to perform what is good I do not find. 19 For the good that I will to do, I do not do; but the evil I will not to do, that I practice. 20 Now if I do what I will not to do, it is no longer I who do it, but sin that dwells in me.
21 I find then a law, that evil is present with me, the one who wills to do good.22 For I delight in the law of God according to the inward man. 23 But I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members. 24 O wretched man that I am! Who will deliver me from this body of death? 25 I thank God—through Jesus Christ our Lord!
So then, with the mind I myself serve the law of God, but with the flesh the law of sin.
Complicated and confusing verses that discuss the war going on inside us the flesh against the mind. A war which can leave us feeling “half brained” as we try to do the good we know we ought to do, but still fall flat on our faces!
