be born and a time to die a time to plant and a time to uproot the plant a time to kill and a time to heal a time to tear down and a time to build a time to weep and a time to la a time to mourn and a time to dance a time to scatter stones and a time to gather them a time to embrace and a time to be far from embrace s a time to seek and a time to lose a time to keep and a time to cast away a time to rend and a time to sew a time to be silent and a time to speak a time to love and a time to hate a time of war and a time of peace what advantage has the worker from his toil i have considered the task that god has appointed for the sons of men to be busy devout he has made everything appropriate to its time and has put the timeless into their hearts without man's ever discovering from beginning to end the work which god has done the stronghold my deliverer my shield in whom i trust the lord my rock lord what is man that you noticed him the son of man that you take  men is like a breath his days like a passing shadow the religious authorities of his time and of his place and or hand to say that all three of those very important groups of people would reject him was a very difficult thing for him to say because people would say like in our days if somebody said well everybody's going to reject me the law the courts the police of the people that are important in running government and running the city of new york and if we were to say they're going to reject us we would have to say that's a very tough thing to say so when jesus said this to his apostles he was saying something that they were probably not ready to to hear because when jesus as asked and said who do you say that i am peter said you're the christ that was  very very highest possible person to be in the faith and the expectation of the people so for the apostle peter and the others to say well you're the christ and then for the christ to say i'm going to be rejected by everybody and then the cherry on top of the pie i'm going to be killed but raised on the rd day again making things very difficult for them to understand and it was until everything happened in the holy spirit came upon them and in to use the knowledge of what was going on that they find the understood or at least understood partially what was happening were they able to see god's plan sometimes that happens in life we don't see god's plan we just see what's happening here and now we especially if we're going through difficult times we see what only our vision concedes front of us we'll see the larger vision of god's plan for today is a day for remembering that the apostles even the apostles were who were so close to christ didn't see god's plan they put their faith in him they said you were the christ but they had no idea what was going to happen or what god's plan was going to bring about ultimately plan came and took care of not only them but even us two thousand years later so the plan of god is sometimes something that we cannot see but is always the during these times of crises in our church that god may strengthen all of us to look for and ultimately see his plans we pray to the wars lord hear our prayer for american military personnel throughout the world and especially in afghanistan we pray to the word lord hear our prayer for ourselves that we do everything we can to bring
