We had a great meeting and pumpkin carving. This is always one of my favorites. If you saved your pumpkin seeds, you can make a tasty treat. Simply wash them and season them as you like (salt, taco seasoning, garlic salt, cinnamon and sugar, you decide!). Spread them on a cookie sheet and bake them at 350 degrees for about 20 minutes or until they are toasty and brown. Some directions call for oil, but when they are soaking wet it works just fine.
tasty: delicious
toasty: warm and browned
just fine: great!
International Bible Study: Tuesdays, 9:00-10:00, Room 100
Jesus was on his way home to Galilee, we read in John 4:43-54. He had spent two days in Samaria teaching the people about the kingdom of God, and many there believed that Jesus was the Messiah sent from God.
Jesus returned to Cana in Galilee. The people there know about the miraculous healings Jesus performed in Jerusalem at the time of the Passover. They welcomed Jesus back to his Galilean home, eager to see him perform more signs and wonders. Yet, they are not ready to acknowledge that Jesus is the Son of God. After all, he’s one of them. They know his parents, his brothers, and his sisters. Some of them remember Jesus as a little boy. How could he possibly be God’s Son? He was their neighbor!
Suddenly a royal official approached Jesus with an urgent request. He begged him to come to Capernaum and to heal his child, who was near death. Jesus tells him, “Go, your son will live.” The official believes what Jesus says. As he nears home, he is met by servants who share the wonderful news that his son’s fever is gone! When he asks them when his son’s fever left, he learns that it was at the exact time Jesus told him his son would live. Jesus is reliable. He is pleased to give life and health.
We discussed the difference between this believing official, who trusted Jesus and his words of healing, and the Galilean people who were “sign-seekers” and “wonder-worshipers,” but not believers in Jesus as the Son of God. ~ Jan Heimann
