Bible Answer: Hi sweet, Looking at your question with an eye toward capitalization I noticed that you typed both "my own" and "My own". You may not have intended to do that. May I just say that we can not, nor do I think that we should, put the pronouns of Jesus in both lower and upper cases. A person has to decide if He is God in the flesh or whether He is not. As one who capitalizes, I would not see Jesus speaking of "his own" but I know that all believers do not have this fetish for capitalization. Yes, God knows that Jesus is His Son. The people of the biblical times may or may not have known the Son, but this is God's word and I believe that we can consistently capitalize the pronouns of Jesus whether the people believed in Him [sic] or not. The other capitalization of yours that I noticed was the "Life" was was laid down. I believe that Jesus was the Way, the Truth, and the Life but the life that He laid down I see as the spirit that He gave up when He died. See also Isaiah 53:10 in both the NASB and the NKJ to consider the soul that was rendered as a guilt offering. Isaiah 52:10c, NKJ, "...When You make His soul an offering for sin,..." Isaiah 52:10, "...If He would render Himself as a guilt offering,..." From the heart, Ray |
