Matthew 21:23-27

A very happy Monday to you my friend. How much energy do you have? How much time do you have? Not enough! That is my answer and I bet the answer of most people. This is why today’s scripture passage is so important and I invite you to read it. In a nutshell, the Pharisees come up to Jesus and ask him under whose authority he teaches or does his ministry. They see themselves as the custodians of Gods ministry and Jesus did not ask them for permission to engage in the works of the Kingdom. Jesus responds and says to them “don’t waste my time by asking silly questions, I am not telling you.” Well I improvised there

But seriously again I say to you, do not waste your energy on people who have already made up their minds about you. Just go on doing and planting the kingdom in your own unique way. Your works will speak louder than anything. The truth is that some people are miserable and they cannot stand your success. I tell you what, it drives the haters crazy when you don’t engage them. Jesus shuts down the Pharisees and continues on with a smile. You know if you don’t know your worth, you will be explaining yourself to everyone. Don’t do that.
