Bible Question (short): Understanding Mark 10 |
Question (full): Could you agree with this intepretation? First of all I believe Jesus is God. But I also believe that Jesus came to serve not be served Matthew 20:28 just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many." Honestly, My first impression (Mark 10) I would say that Jesus is saying, Why are you calling me God, God is the only one who is Good. Because if you notice, after that the child did not call him Good Teacher..anymore. But to read in harmony with other scripture. Jesus purpose is not to say hello I am God. His purpose is to teach that God is Good. Just as he teaches that God only can save in the next verses Mark 10:26-27 "The disciples were even more amazed, and said to each other, "Who then can be saved?" Jesus looked at them and said, "With man this is impossible, but not with God; all things are possible with God." Saying Through God you are saved. We know Jesus saves..he is our God and Savior Titus 2:13 - "the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ" For me, this is an example of how important it is to read and study the bible in context. You read scripture in light of scripture. do you agree? Noveta Your sister in Christ |
