A breakdown in details can be huge.
Hailee and I were driving from Mt. Pleasant to Lansing.
There is a stretch that goes from 70-55 mph.
Usually nobody slows down.
I was driving along with the speed of traffic when Hailee
said, “It’s hot.”
So me being the great husband that I am, rolled down the
window on her side.
She gave me a puzzled look and said, “Why did you roll down
the window?”
I told her she said it was hot.
She told me, “I said look cop not it’s hot!”
I did not get pulled over, but we had a good laugh about it.
Attention to detail can come back and bite us sometimes.
When I am explaining a story or letting Hailee know about
something, she tells me to go in better detail.
I can answer her very short in words like: fine, alright,
good, cool.
She doesn’t get the necessary details then.
Details matter.
After Jesus died, they gave details to explain what happened
after.
While reading through this, you could think, this has no
value but it is really key.
In John 19:38-42 they explain how Jesus was buried.
One of the details they gave in verse 39…
“He was accompanied by Nicodemus, the man who earlier had visited
Jesus at night. Nicodemus brought a
mixture of myrrh and aloes, about seventy-five pounds.”
The first he they were talking about was Joseph of
Arimathea.
This story matters because people claimed that Jesus didn’t
die on the cross or that his body was
stolen.
This gave the detail necessary to prove those who believe
that wrong.
There were two people that buried Jesus right here, they
went to proper authorities and got him all setup in a tomb.
Details matter.
We know that Jesus died on the cross and was buried where
they said he was because of the witness of these people.
I need to listen to my wife so I can know when a cop is
coming and so I know what’s going on in life.
We need to be able as faithful people to explain what we
believe to other people.
The death of Jesus is an area we need to have great
understanding in.
We need to pay attention in faith and life.
What do you need to pay greater attention too?
Have a great day.
