Seeking Truth

Jesus is here! I’ve been hearing about him. Every time I hear of him, my heart is stirred. The same way when in my studies and work as a scribe the commands of God stir my heart!

Now he is here in Jerusalem! I wonder if he knows where he comes? This is the center of Worship of God! Has he learned his law? His Moses? His David? His Solomon? Does he know what God says?

If he does I wonder if he knows what God wants from him. I wish I knew what God wanted of me. I spend everyday studying God’s commands, how he wants me to act, but in that I still seek the truth of what purpose God has for my life. I know I will go ask him. But I’ll have to go think up the best question ever!

The teacher of the law thought and thought about what question he should ask. He looked through the book of the law.

(Flip through the book)
Should I ask him, “Teacher is it right to wear a poly-cotton blend?” No, No, he’ll know the law says it is an abomination in the sight of God to wear mixed fabrics. What will that prove?

Should I ask him, “Teacher, is it ok to work on the Sabbath? Or how burnt does toast have to be to divorce your wife? No those guys over there asked that last week! Jesus sure had a good answer for them too!

Should I ask him if Adam and Eve had Belly buttons? No, No, I’ve got It!
(Run along wall)
Teacher, Teacher! Teacher, I have a question for you!

Yes…?
Jesus answered the young scribe looking deep into his soul.
What is your question?

Which of commandment is the greatest?

Jesus smiled.

(Excitedly)
A wonderful answer, Teacher! So lucid and accurate—That God is one and there is no other. And loving him with all passion and intelligence and energy, and loving others as well as you love yourself. Why that is better than all offerings and sacrifices put together.

You’re almost there! Right on the boarder of God’s kingdom
The young scribe felt his heart leap. His inward desire to seek God was validated by this Jesus. He knew Jesus was a true teacher, because the Spirit of God bore witness with in him, and his heart raced. He had to continue to seek the kingdom of God. He left with a great excitement and purpose in his life.
