And every day he was teaching in the temple area. The chief priests, the scribes, and the leaders of the people, meanwhile, were seeking to put him to death, but they could find no way to accomplish their purpose because all the people were hanging on his words.
(Luke 19:47-48)
Thanks to the evangelists, my Jesus, we still hear what you taught in the temple. We are still hanging on your words.
Please help me to cling to your instructions, your admonitions, and your encouragement. Let me follow your example as I remember your birth, your exile as an infant, your nights of prayer, your healings and miracles, and your passion, death, and resurrection. In your life and your words, I find answers to my questions, resolution of my doubt, comfort and forgiveness. Let me not just read about you, but carry you in my heart.
