Jesus And All His Friends

The Gospel According to St. Matthew Chapters 11-20

Jesus grows,into and adult. Performing more and more miracles. As said before in the other Gospels, he multiplied bread and fed thousands, resurrected some people, gave sight to the blind and cleansed the leprous. Simple stuff. Even so, his so called followers still did not believe him, until he walked on water. If Jesus couldn't give more proof. Not even a miracle worked for people to believe him.

Disciples are disciples, so they must be useful in something. "And it came to pass, when Jesus had made an end of commanding his twelve disciples, he departed thence to teach and to preach in their cities." (11:1) So Jesus sends them off, to teach about him, and spread his popularity worldwide.

It is a tough job God expected from his son. Trying to change the wholes people thoughts and believes. "At that time Jesus answered and said, I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes." (11:25)Humans always go with the flow and nobody ever thinks for themselves. If they do, they are persecuted and killed, since that is what humans do. The, here comes this man, saying he is the "Son of God" and the " King of Jews". Obviously, the actual King of Jews must be infuriated. Anyways, people wont care of a wimpy man, so at least God did send him with something, miracles. Even so, miracles are not enough! How could one single man, of so any miracles, and at that time I think miracles didn't occur very often, and still, not be believed? What ere they back in that time?

It isn't so hard to believe watching while it actually happens. In today's society, it wouldn't matter since everything is a scam, or it works in order to win money. TV commercials and the Televentas is just stupid. A product that may grow your hair back with the latest technology and lazors. Or the abdominal thing that may grow your muscles in just fifteen days! I guess people back in that time would actually believe TV, but not the miracle man who is just curing a blind man.
