Sorta

I am so grateful for all of the good Godly people that have been placed in my life and the lives of my children. Nursery workers, Sunday school leaders, VBS, Awana, pastors and friends. They are pouring God's word and His love all over my family. Some of it gets lost in translation however.
Nathan "Mom, see this?"
Mom "Yes. Is that a rooster?"
Nathan "No, it's a chicken."
Mom " Wow. Ok."
Nathan "Jesus talked to this chicken! 3 times!"

What did Jesus and the chicken talk about? Just wondering.

Maybe they talked about the rooster?

Hey - Nathan's on to something.

You need to look at Matthew 23:37.

BTW - that verse is directly related to Passover.

Chris,
I'm looking.

(USCCB_NAB_Matthew 23-27)

"Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, you hypocrites. You pay tithes 12 of mint and dill and cummin, and have neglected the weightier things of the law: judgment and mercy and fidelity. (But) these you should have done, without neglecting the others.
24
13 Blind guides, who strain out the gnat and swallow the camel!
25
14 "Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, you hypocrites. You cleanse the outside of cup and dish, but inside they are full of plunder and self-indulgence.
26
Blind Pharisee, cleanse first the inside of the cup, so that the outside also may be clean.
27
15 "Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, you hypocrites. You are like whitewashed tombs, which appear beautiful on
the outside, but inside are full of dead men's bones and every kind of filth.

Help! I'm not getting it.

Janet - you're off by 10. You're looking at Matthew 23:24-27.

Take a look at Matthew 23:37: "O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, you who kill the prophets and stone those sent to you, how often I have longed to gather your children together, as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, but you were not willing."

The root word for Passover in Hebrew is Pesach, which is originally Egyptian. It implies a shielding over, such as a hen does with her chicks. Consider that in terms of Passover in Exodus.
