2 | iron sharpens iron | 2 Pet 3:18 | terrib | 116617 | ||
Dear Restored, (Pro 27:17 KJV) Iron sharpeneth iron; so a man sharpeneth the countenance of his friend. As a knife made of iron is sharpened by the sharpening stick, so butchers sharpen their knives. So a man sharpeneth the countenance of his friend. By conversation with a friend, thus learned men sharpen one another's minds, and excite each other to learned studies. Christians sharpen one another's graces, or stir up each other to the exercise of them, and the gifts which are bestowed on them, and to love and to good works. If a knife is just used and not sharpened it soon becomes less effective in its purpose. A good friend can keep the mind sharp and alive by bringing into action thoughts that stir up the Spirit inside every man and bring each other into those places where the Holy Spirit can comfort or convict each man's mind and heart. So is the friend we have in Christ and when we befriend the Word of God, and read, the Holy Spirit can work in our hearts and minds to where we can grow from the milk of the Word to the meat of the Word. And in our maturity of the Word of God and our relationship with Him, we can sharpen those that are on the way in their walk with the Lord Jesus. Remembering, that if we take a steel knife and strike the edges together we will dent each blade and put a nick in them. So, if we follow the example of Christ, we will approach our friends not with a blunt force but with an easy stroking so as not to damage the edge of his or hers growth that the Spirit of the Lord has given. Another verse that goes along with this one is: (Pro 27:6 KJV) Faithful are the wounds of a friend; but the kisses of an enemy are deceitful. terrib |
