And the Sin of Self-Righteousness
You say Jesus is alive and well and living at the Right Hand of the Father-correct? So why do you presume him to be a deaf mute who cannot speak to anyone he has adopted as children?
Do you know a father on earth who has adopted children who chooses not to speak to them? Or speaks to only a few who consider themselves the most pious? No, Jesus speaks to all and anyone of his children, adopted or natural (Jewish) who chose to listen and can hear.
He who has ears to hear let him hear.
He who presumes he is the only favorite child is no greater than John or James, Jesus' cousins whom the wife of Zebedee, Jesus aunt tried to get commitment of Jesus to sit right next to him.
No, Jesus chooses to whom he speaks. Sometimes it is the little child sitting on his lap. Sometimes he mades a spit-puddle and cures the foresaken blind beggar. Sometimes he asks you "Who do you say that I am?"
Jesus is not bound by spiritual hierarchy. He doesn't care if your head covering is white, red or your natural curly hair. Jesus is the giver of all life, the Lord, and his creation is his garden. He walks where he chooses, he speaks to whom he wishes even if it is a fig tree, and anyone who listens can hear his voice.
