I've learned-Opportunity will knock but it won't knock your door down-

5 things I want to know
1-Did John in Revelations write down what he saw or did he use symbols to describe what he saw?
2-Why did the Roman soldiers spit on Jesus?
3-Did Jesus know what it would be like to bear the sins of all humanity?
4-Did Jesus's divine nature help him through the crucifixion or had he lost it since God could not look at him?
5-Why was a sign in 3 languages put on the cross over Jesus's head?

Scripture for today-Don't use your mouth to tell lies, don't ever say things that are not true. Keep your eyes focused on what is right, and look straight ahead to what is good. Be careful what you do, and always do what is right. Don't turn off the road of goodness; keep away from evil paths. Proverbs 43:24-27

I wish you a day filled with love, laughter, forgiveness and thanksgiving-jasper
