Bible Question:
Hi mommapbs, I am a bit "under the weather" tonight and will be heading to emergency after getting my first khemo therapy yesterday. You can all be praying for God's will in all of that. Your comment about "if we would but "eat" led me to go to the Search and "Bread of life". It brought up 120 posts and I started to read many of them and also mine of course to see how much my comments would differ in the years of the forum. I was led to John 13:17ff, "If you know these things, you are blessed if you do them. I do not speak of all of you. I know the ones I have chosen; but [it is] that the Scripture may be fulfilled, "He who eats My bread has lifted up his heel against Me.' From now on I am telling you before [it] comes to pass, so that when it does occur, you may believe that I am He." From the heart, Ray |
Bible Answer: Ray - you are in my prayers.Having had a child in chemotherapy for two years, I have an idea of what it means to be "under the weather." With regard to John 13:17 - the first question I have is what "bread" is Jesus talking about? Since it is NOT capitalized, what is the significance? I can think of lots of possibilities, and these are mere speculations . . . but my strongest inclination is to carry this prophecy beyond Judas and into today as indeed there are those who have benefitted from Christianity and yet have rejected THE Bread . . . Just some things that I'll be pondering as well as thanking God for bringing this to YOUR attention! May you be comforted by His presence during this time. With Christ's love and prayer for you! mommapbs |
