Bible Question:
Hi Forum Family! Blessed be the Lord our God! He is worhthy of all praise and glory and honor! Blessed be the one who created all things in heaven and on earth and in the seas and all that there is therein, things not made by men's hands, but by the Lord! Praise be to the Lord! Wanted to post a question about Luke 9:62 But Jesus said to him, "No one, after putting his hand to the plow and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God." I conducted a search on the forum and found that there was a little discussion on this verse but I had a few more questions about it. So, please bear with me. Question 1) How does this particular verse relate to memories, both bad (those in which we learned from) and good (those which bring joy to our hearts)? Question 2) Paul writes: Phil 4:8 Finally, brethren, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is of good repute, if there is any excellence and if anything worthy of praise, dwell on these things. There are many memories that I have which include all of the above, so, Isn't it good to dwell on such things? Here is the passage in context: Luke 9:59 And He said to another, "Follow Me." But he said, "Lord, permit me first to go and bury my father." Luke 9:60 But He said to him, "Allow the dead to bury their own dead; but as for you, go and proclaim everywhere the kingdom of God." Luke 9:61 Another also said, "I will follow You, Lord; but first permit me to say good-bye to those at home." Luke 9:62 But Jesus said to him, "No one, after putting his hand to the plow and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God." Always your brother in prayer and in praise, Cyclist I will bless the Lord at al times! His prasie shall continually be in my mouth! |
Bible Answer: Greetings! So glad to see you posting again! I believe that memories are good. In fact, they become stronger with frequent use! When we recall all the good things of the Lord, we praise Him; when we remember our failings and His grace and mercy, we praise Him! BUT, I don't think that this particular passage is related to remembering. It seems to me to be reflective of a divided heart. No one can serve two masters! See Gen 19:26. Blessings to you and yours! t |
