The Bible Passage titles for today’s Bible Studies are:

Two Blind men Confess Jesus as Lord (Matthew 20:29-34)
Palm Sunday: The Messianic King (Matthew 21:1-11)
Jesus Purifies the Temple (Matthew 12-17)

Think of these questions while we read:

How do you feel when people try to talk over you?
How do you feel try to suppress your beliefs?
When do you have the most compassion towards another?
Do we care what people say about us?
Can you think of the last time you were very angry?
Can you remember how you got to that point?

Let’s talk about our emotions:

Love implies anger. The man who is angered by nothing cares about nothing.

–Edward Abbey

Emotions are contagious. We’ve all known it experientially. You know after you have a really fun coffee with a friend, you feel good. When you have a rude clerk in a store, you walk away feeling bad.

–Daniel Goleman

“Rather than being your thoughts and emotions, be the awareness behind them.”

– Eckhart Tolle, A New Earth: Awakening to Your Life’s Purpose
