Bible Note: Hi Aixen7z4, If I am guaging your thoughts correctly, I agree that the main message has to be about the Christ, for this is God's word. But I think that the message was there for the people of the time also. Thank you for your Scripture. Let me offer this comparison for you to reflect on. **Stars and parentheses are mine for comparison. 1 Peter 1:13,-16, "Therefore, gird your minds for action, keep sober in spirit, fix your hope completely on the grace to be brought to you at the revelation of (Jesus) Christ. As obedient children, do not be conformed to the former lusts which were yours in your ignorance, but like the Holy One who called you, be holy yourselves also in all your behavior; 16 because it is written, "You shall be holy, for **I am holy." Isaiah 8:8, "And the spread of its wings will fill the breadth of (Your) land, O Immanuel."...10 ...For God is with us. 11 For thus the Lord spoke to me with mighty power and instructed me not to walk in the way of this people, saying, "You are not to say, 'It is a conspiracy!' In regard to all that this people call a conspiracy, And you are not to fear what they fear or be in dread of it. 13 It is the **Lord of hosts whom you should regard as holy..." We are children of God. A child of the King. But Jesus was the holy Child, the Son of God. From the heart, Ray |
