Subject: My Rock, in whom I take refuge? v.3 |
Bible Note: Hi mommapbs, Thank you for the Scriptures. I believe that Jesus is the Rock, but just as the Light of the world enlightens every man, so the Rock is the foundation stone. Depending on context, we have both light and Light and rock and Rock. For the verses that you gave me, I would keep them in lower case. 1) Luke 6:39 says that Jesus spoke a parble to them. He goes on and talks of several things and then I believe He tells the parable which is an earthly story. Luke 6:47, "Everyone who comes to Me, and hears My words, and acts upon them, I will show you whom he is like: 48 he is like a man building a house, who dug deep and laid a foundation upon a *rock;..." 2) 1 Corinthians 3:11: I believe that we are God's building and we can relate that to the parable that Jesus told. 1 Corinthians 3:9, "For we are God's fellow workers; you are God's field, *God's building." 1 Corinthians 3:11, "For no man can lay a foundation other than the one [sic] which was laid, which is Jesus Christ." Jesus is the one foundation and the one Rock and we are a temple of God. 1 Cor 3:16. I also would say with the NKJ that "He catches the wise in their own craftiness", 1 Cor 3:19. I would say also with the NKJ, "...but He [the *One] who judges me is the Lord." 3) 1 Peter 2:4-8: 1 Peter 2:4 says that we should come to Him as to a living stone. One of my Interlinear copies has "Stone". However, 1 Peter 2:5 where it says, you also, as living stones", suggests the idea that we have human bodies but a living spirit within us. Jesus was a Man in appearance and had a human body just as we do. So this is one passage where I would say that Jesus is shown as a man (a stone) but also a Man (the Rock). When we believe in Him [sic] this rock becomes a Rock. But the Jews stumbled over the stone and it became a rock of offense. They took offense at Him [sic]. 4) Ephesians 2:20, "having been built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Christ Jesus *Himself being the corner [stone]." 5) Matthew 16:18, "And I also say to you that you are Peter, and upon this rock I will build My church; and the gates of Hades shall not overpower it." I believe here that the rock is an it and not He. So I would leave it in lower case as the living stone (Peter) or as the profession of his faith in the Christ (Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God!) The gates of Hades will not overpower it, the foundation of the church. So those are my thoughts and interpretations. I look forward to hearing more from you. From the heart, Ray |
