Can't please everyone - Luke 7:33-34

 Good afternoon everyone from Monticello, Illinois. God is good all the time, all the time God is good.

   Do you remember meeting people who are always negative?  You say the sky is blue and they will say it is hazy white; The grass is green, no- it has a blueish tint. You know what and who I am talking about.
   Well, don't feel alone, it was the same way in Jesus' time.  John the Baptist was ridiculed; Jesus was ridiculed; and then the apostles later were ridiculed.
  They had the Pharisees and the Sadducees who were really the negative, angry, and a non-accepting group who would stir up other Jews to their way of thinking.
  GUESS WHAT?  Today we have politicians, woke community, radical Islamic, and all the other organizations that yell at the Christians because they are racist, arrogant, and closed mined. Plus, they stir up other people.   Wait......what?  
   If we teach, preach, or talk about some things in the Bible we are wrong, some say it is hate speech.  Let's look at what Luke says in Chapter 7, verses 33-34:
   33 For John the Baptist came neither eating bread nor drinking wine, and you say, ‘He has a demon.’ 34 The Son of Man came eating and drinking, and you say, ‘Here is a glutton and a drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and sinners.’
  Oh yes, look at this.  John the Baptist was called a demon. Jesus (Son of Man) would eat and drink with tax collectors, sinners and considered a glutton and a drunkard.  Hmmmm!
   People will do or say anything to appease themselves and their way of thinking.  Let me know what you think. Love y'all.
In Christ's Love and Grace,
Johnny
