AMPLIFIED 2015 | Matthew 7:11 "If you then, evil (sinful by nature) as you are, know how to give good and advantageous gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven [perfect as He is] give what is good and advantageous to those who keep on asking Him. |
Subject: Is "it" enough for you? |
Bible Note: Hi mommapbs, It is good to greet you again after a five-night stay in the hospital with an unexplained fever. I will just say hi and then get acquainted with my own bed for a while. Talking about John 13:18. I agree that bread is NOT capitalized. Judas has been discussed on this forum and I have always been hesitant to say that he would not be raised on the last day. Judas heard all the words of Jesus, and ate the bread along with the multitudes. But just as John 16:60 says, "Many [not only Judas] therefore of His disciples, when they heard [this word] said, "This is a difficult statement; who can listen to it?" So our question remains of whether hearing the word, eating the bread, knowing the word of God is enough. The important thing is as you have said is to know THE Bread. I still tend to think that as one of the chosen, Judas was not lost to Him. I don't want to be like the disciples who immediately after considering who it might be among them who was going to be the betrayer, began to argue who would, could, should be regarded as the greatest. It is by grace that we all are saved. But a study of the word "it" has been interesting for me in the last few weeks. For instance, a comparison of John 14:8 and John 4:10 in thinking of comparing "it" with "the One". John 14:8, "Philip said to Him, "Lord, show us the Father, and it is enough for us." John 4:10, "Jesus answered and said to her, "If you knew the gift of God, and who it is [who the One is] who says to you, 'Give Me a drink,' you would have asked Him, and He would have given you living water.'" So is "it" enough? 1) You said, "May you be comforted by His presence during this time." I would like to mention one thing that comforted me during m y stay at one of the hospitals in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Every morning I sat at my bed and ate breakfast while looking over the city from my seventh story window. GR has many, many churches and many spires and crosses. One of the churches has a cross that glows in the sunrise/early morning hours like a lit star on a Christmas tree. It was a glorious view for me. Was "it" enough for me? No, for I also thought of the One who died on the cross for me. But it was a comforting view for me every day I was there. From the heart, Ray |
