What … Change??!!!

Morning: Psalm 89:1-18; Habakkuk 2:1-4, 9-20; James 2:14-26

Evening: Psalm 89:19-52; Luke 16:19-31

The parable of the rich man and Lazarus highlights the plight of the poor.  Even so, Jesus tells the Pharisees, corrupt as they are, it’s not too late to change; they can learn from Moses and the prophets.  Most importantly, Jesus predicts his own death and resurrection as fulfilling Moses’ and the prophets’ teachings.  Trouble is, even someone rising from the dead will not convince those who refuse to learn from ancient wisdom.  If Jesus had taught using a joke, it might go like this … ‘How many Pharisees does it take to change a light bulb?  What … Change??!!!’
