He did not depart from following him, but kept the commandments that the Lord commanded Moses. 7 And the Lord was with him; wherever he went out, he prospered. <br /><br />It shows that each of us is responsible for our own decisions. Regardless of what people are doing around us or the parents or guardians that raised us and given us examples on how to live, there is always a chance to change our course.<br /><br />This fits with the passage from the NT: <br />4 Let them alone; they are blind guides.[c] And if the blind lead the blind, both will fall into a pit.”<br /><br />The generations of kings that turned from God to serve their own devices were kind of like the blind leading the blind. They were so far disconnected from God and then they lead their children down the same path.

This was probably frustrating for the Pharisees because they were trying to criticize Jesus and His disciples for breaking tradition. <br /><br />I also wonder how Peter felt with Jesus' response to him when Peter asked Jesus to explain the parable to them? And was Jesus getting frustrated with His disciples for still not understanding? Conradhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00378594821836169485noreply@blogger.com
