In Other Words: A Devotional Guide

By Harvey Shapiro

Join Pastor Harvey as he writes through the eyes of a temple policeman: You see, I am a member of the temple police, part of the Sanhedrin. It's a good job with lots of prestige and power. I too asked many times the same questions of the crowd: Who is this man Jesus? A Messiah? A king? What kind of Messiah-king comes as a baby? God as a baby? Mary claims she got pregnant by the Holy Spirit. Yeah right.Or as he wrestles with the Lord's Prayer: "Give us today our daily bread. And forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors." As we also have forgiven our debtors. What makes this petition so hard is the three-letter word and. It ties the two verses together. What you are saying is to take care of my needs today and at the same time forgive my sins in the same way that I have forgiven those who have hurt me. Oh, how I wish the second part was not tied to the first! Unfair.Or as he looks at the crucifixion as Peter: The rooster crowed, and I was immediately filled with shame and remorse. I, like Judas, had betrayed my best friend. I ran outside and wept bitterly
