101 | He wept not for their grief | John 11:35 | Mommapbs | 157880 | ||
I was referring to your post - just as in His anger in the temple, Jesus did not sin, likewize in His experience with human "fear" in the Garden , He did not sin either for His faith triumphed (not My will but Thy will). I suspect we can see faith in action here . . ."perfect love casting out fear" comes to mind. Contrast this to Peter walking on the water. Don't you think that he too was fearful of getting out of the boat? Was this fear sin? No, for his response (at first) was faith. Here's where I get reverential trust and fear tied together. This is the fear of the Lord - it is a good fear. It glorifies God when we choose to trust Him, this "fear of the Lord" - meaning where would I be without Him? - triumphs over all. Well that's what I'm thinking about. Hope I've not muddied the exegesical (sp?) waters too much. In Christ, mommapbs |

In Jesus we see the co-existence of faith and fear. He is our example. Blessings, mommapbs |

Thanks BradK - Great list for reference!! In a book my Pastor has written he suggests contrary to the popular axiom, "fear is the absence of faith", that faith and fear can and do co-exist. I suispect that we need to "see" fear differently though. I'm still processing this a bit. See Heb 10:31. Blessings on your day. mommapbs |

Greetings - Prov 9:10 "The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom and knowledge of the Holy One is understanding." As the God-Man, Did Jesus experience fear? I refer to His humanity expressed in Heb 2:14-18 and also His statement, "I and the Father are One" John 1:30 . . . As part of the Godhead, Jesus did not fear death as eternal separation from the Father . . . but standing before the tomb of Lazarus, I wonder if He looked ahead to the tomb of eternity where He would be separated eternally from those whom He loved and gave His life for? Might this be cause for Him to weep? This is a kind of fear co-exisitng with faith; faith in the promise of God that unbelievers will not enter His rest (Heb 3:11-12) Therefore, this is a fear based upon faith (as a sure thing to be believed) belonging to the Lord . . . Am I taking too great a liberty here? |

Makarios - I'd like to offer another reflection on this verse. The follow verse says, "See how He loved him." This prompts me to see another possible reality through the tears of Jesus. I'm thinking that He didn't weep for the immediate, present reality of this tomb. I see Jesus weep because of His love for the whole world (John 3:16) and the reality of eternal separation for those whom He loves but who reject Him.(Heb 10:29-31) I'm also wondering if this might be considered an example of "the fear of the Lord?"

106 | The peace of Jerusalem? | Ps 122:6 | Mommapbs | 157592 | ||
Greetings Doc: To elaborate on what you have posted, it seems to me that when we pray for the "peace of Jerusalem", we are praying not for a people group, nation, program, or process; we are praying for a Person, the Prince of Peace, Jesus. That He would be revealed, magnified and glorified; thus given first priority in our lives and in the lives of others. Can two walk together unless they be agreed? Come quickly Lord Jesus! Blessings on your day! mommapbs |

107 | The peace of Jerusalem? | Ps 122:6 | Mommapbs | 157341 | ||
Thanks brother for the reminder - our prayers at time are so general that we lose the blessing of seeing the answer in specifics. Blessings, mommapbs |

108 | The peace of Jerusalem? | Ps 122:6 | Mommapbs | 157315 | ||
Thank you - while I'm hard pressed to equate Jerusalem with the Church, I agree that the idea of praying for peace in the churches is a good thing! Blessings to you, mommapbs |

109 | The peace of Jerusalem? | Ps 122:6 | Mommapbs | 157300 | ||
Oh my, my dispensationalist upbringing is rearing its head here I guess! But I'm teachable . . . so when one prays for the peace of Jerusalem, we pray for Christ to reveal Himself to that nation? Hence one would be praying for the Second Coming of Christ? Thanks for your insight Doc! mommapbs |

110 | The peace of Jerusalem? | Ps 122:6 | Mommapbs | 157294 | ||
Thanks Doc - this was where I was heading - to pray for world peace is to offer an evangelistic prayer - no Jesus, no peace! Does this verse affect how we as believers should view Israel? I'm wondering if there are practical implications for our stand on issues relating to the nation of Israel? Great to hear from you. School is back in session so I'm on vacation now!! mommapbs |

111 | The peace of Jerusalem? | Ps 122:6 | Mommapbs | 157290 | ||
Please comment of the implications of this command to "pray for the peace of Jersualem"? Is this different from praying for world peace? Are they related? | ||||||
112 | Who does "your" refer to ? | Ps 122:9 | Mommapbs | 157289 | ||
Who does "your" refer to in this verse? "brothers and friends" of v. 8 and/or Jerusalem (the nation of Israel?) v. 6? | ||||||
113 | His reproach - our reproach? | Heb 13:13 | Mommapbs | 156281 | ||
Greetings, Doc: I believe we miss much when we don't consider how God's Word applies to us today. Therefore, when I come across a verse like this I ask, does this have any significance to us as believers; what does this mean for me? Sorry to press the issue with you. FWIW, imo, since we are to also go outside the camp to where Jesus is, might this suggest that we must leave our temorary "comfort zones" or self-made things that we have relied upon in the past? Apart from the priests carrying the blood, the Israelites could never enter the Tabernacle, they could not enter into a relationship with God . . . neither can we unless we go through the blood of Christ. But to get the blood of Christ, we must also leave the camp, that place where self reigns. Blessings, mommapbs |

114 | His reproach - our reproach? | Heb 13:13 | Mommapbs | 156263 | ||
Hi Doc - thanks, I understand this as being calvary and it is outside the camp - so what is the "camp" referring to? I'm wondering if we in America really have an understanding of what believers in other parts of the world experience in "bearing the reproach?" Perhaps sometimes persecution is found more often in the pew than out of it. Blessings, mommapbs |

For believers, what is the "camp" in this verse?What does it mean to bear His reproach? | ||||||
116 | Who is "him?" | Heb 12:25 | Mommapbs | 156129 | ||
Many thanks Hank for this thorough explanation. I appreciate your wisdom here. I tend to captialize in my own writing so I am consious of this when I read the Bible. Blessings, mommapbs |

117 | Who does "him" refer to in this verse? | Heb 12:25 | Mommapbs | 156118 | ||
Kalos, my question is prompted by wondering why the NASB does not capitalize "him" as other translations do in this verse, obviously referencing the Godhead. Without the capitalization of this pronoun I could read something into this verse that I KNOW y'all don't like to see here! :) Blessings, mommapbs |
||||||
118 | Who is "him?" | Heb 12:25 | Mommapbs | 156104 | ||
Why does the NASB not capitalize "him" if this pronoun refers to God? This makes me wonder if it is a reference to Hebrews 1:1 - as "God spoke . . . in the prophets". I also am reminded of Jesus' words in the story of the rich man and Lazarus in Luke 16:31 - "But he said to him, 'If they do not listen to Moses and the Prophets, they will not be persuaded even if someone rises from the dead.'" It is interesting to note that "Prophets" in this passage is capitalized. Just wondering, that's all! |
