Matthew 12 begins with Jesus defending his disciples as they gathered grain on the Sabbath. Jesus clearly tells us that keeping the day Holy doesn't mean that you have to sit around doing nothing. It's a good thing too since so many of us work on Sunday. I don't know many moms who don't have to cook and clean on Sunday. My husband has to work some Sundays.
Jesus also defends himself in this chapter. He is called a servant of Beelzebub because he drives out demons. Jesus tells the crowd that he is a servant of God because a servant of Beelzebub would be dividing its kingdom by driving out demons.
Jesus then tells us that anyone who speaks against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven, and anyone who is not with him is against him.
Now we get to our question for the day. Who is the Queen of the South? Jesus says that he will be in the heart of the earth for three days like Jonah was in the belly of the fish. He then says that the Queen of the South will rise at judgement. I don't know who he is talking about.
Genesis 13
This chapter tells us the story of Lot separating from Abram. Lot is portrayed as a bit selfish, and he ended up near Sodom. We all know what is about to occur there!
Until tomorrow...
