Dr. Clark started off preaching very slow, effective, with the power of the anointing, and with conference; he began to give accolades to the pastor, his people, and all the other preachers. He then acknowledged a sister who was hospitalized with a stroke, about a week and then died. The day he delivered the eulogy, that morning while reading the newspaper he began reading peanuts, and a member of his church also brought a book entitled Peanuts and give it to him. In the book he read an encounter between Lucy and Charlie Brown; Charlie Brown was trying to explain to Lucy this matter of Indian summer. Lucy’s reply was the matter of Indian summer was a trick or device of the Indians to defeat the Calvary; Lucy went on to say she was going into the business of making cartoons. …show more content…
Clark went to the scripture which came from the gospel of Luke 19:10 He started talking about how Jesus passed through Jericho doing good. Wherever Jesus went he was on a mission, and had a purpose. There was a man name Zacchaeus who was a chief tax collector, and he was rich. And he sought to see who Jesus was, but could not because of the crowd, for he was short in statue. Zacchaeus sought to see Jesus and who he was. Dr. Clark considered Zacchaeus a wise man, whoever seeks to see Jesus is wise. However Zacchaeus could not see Jesus for the crowd was in his way, it posed a problem in his attempt to see Jesus. Dr. Clark preached God forbid if you and I ever get in the way of anyone trying to see Jesus, God forbid by our conversation or life should ever pose a problem to see Jesus. We want to be the kind of Christian that people could see the master in us. The unsaved should not have a problem seeing Jesus in our life. But Zacchaeus had a problem seeing Jesus so, Jesus came to where he was, Dr. Clark preached that Jesus doesn’t require us to get better before seeing him; he carries us to where we should be. Jesus looked up to Zacchaeus and said come down I must abide at your

3. Equally important to the first parallel, Thomas writes in verse 31 “Jesus said, "No prophet is welcome in his own village; no physician cures those who know him." Similarly, the author of John 4:44 records “(for Jesus himself had testified that a prophet has no honor in the prophet’s own country).” As stated earlier, Thomas has no specific timeline. John’s proverb sits in the context of when Jesus returns to Galilee. Galilee was a country that sits on top of Judea. Nazareth is in the lower part of Galilee. It is known that Jesus was born in Nazareth, but travelled to upper Galilee because he knew the residents there would receive him warmly as they heard of his miracles. Although this statement is ironic when first reading it, it corresponds with the fact that he is from Nazareth; there was no welcome committee to when he began to give God’s words to the residents. It is with assumption that the residents of Nazareth belittled him and did not believe until he performed his phenomenon. This can also be interpreted as although one can be infamous within one’s city or country, but when leaving the city or country that one person is better known outside, as the residents in town will speak about said person until it
A poet, a teacher, an activist – These are all the things that Theodor Seuss Geisel managed to be. Geisel was born into the German family of Theodor Robert Geisel and Henrietta Seuss Geisel on March 2, 1904. He grew up having pride in his German background, but it all changed to shame after he experienced the torment of living through WWI. Despite the discouraging experiences he had during those times, they were not enough to stop the very talented “Dr. Seuss”. Geisel showed many that there were no boundaries to the imagination. Because of the hardships he had to overcome, the impact he left on young children, and the criticism he received from others, Theodor Seuss Geisel will always be remembered as the
The works of Dr. Seuss have for so long accompanied children growing up, whether it be in school, at the library, or at home. For children, his books represented a land of adventure and wonderful rhyming imagery. But in our childhood years, who knew he had an underlying meaning that meant so much more? As a young adult today, I am now cognizant of Dr. Seuss’ hidden agenda and vow to implore this man’s exertions of bringing awareness to the problems America was facing not only nationally, but globally as well. In Dr. Seuss’ book, The Butter Battle Book, he attempts to “open the eyes of the world” by using interpretation, symbolism, and rhyme scheme as an effective tool for achieving peace.

The father asked Jesus if he would be able to help his son, as the disciples couldn’t.

Young lambs, won't you come?” The boy waited a long time to see Jesus, Westley another boy having the same problem seeing Jesus lied about seeing him, and all the other kids dancing, and shouting that they “saw” Jesus.

His daughter made the dedication speech at a morning meeting, sharing many of her father’s experiences. The entire audience had known her father for years and were well acquainted with his escapades. The story about the mole-removal technique brought the house down. Sadness was set aside for a while as, one by one, colleagues rose to tell their own stories about her dad. It was magic. There was a feeling of loving fellowship, and, of course, laughter and fun. It was a testament to a man who had lived life at 100 mph and was always already for a new quest. He had been such a glorious part of their lives and, now, he was on the best adventure of all—the heavenly
Even as a little boy Christ was wise beyond his years. In Luke 2:46-50 Jesus, at the age of twelve, was accidently left at the temple, in Jerusalem, by His parents, for three days. When Mary and Joseph find Him, Jesus is sitting among the teachers listening and asking questions and these teachers and those in the temple were amazed at Jesus’ understanding and responses. His parents did not understand and Christ submitted to them respectively. This is a foundational moment in Jesus’ life. Christ has answers beyond understanding just as counselors seem to have an aura of future knowledge and understanding. In this incident teachers are with Christ and they are collaborating and expanding their knowledge. Even though Mary and Joseph do not understand this Jesus humbles himself to submit to them. Humbly, Christ is working with others and learning just as a counselor must continually expand their knowledge
?And it came to pass, that after three days they found him in the temple, sitting in the midst of the doctors, both hearing them, and asking them questions. And all those heard him were astonished at his understanding and answers.? Luke 2:46-47
