Subject: Would you consider Hebrews 12:14? |
Bible Note: If I may interject, it seems obvious Who is the primary active Agent in verse 9 as quoted below. The same Person is primary in verses 10 and 11. Heb 12:9 Furthermore, we had earthly fathers to discipline us, and we respected them; shall we not much rather be subject to the Father of spirits, and live? Heb 12:10 For they disciplined us for a short time as seemed best to them, but He disciplines us for our good, so that we may share His holiness. Heb 12:11 All discipline for the moment seems not to be joyful, but sorrowful; yet to those who have been trained by it, afterwards it yields the peaceful fruit of righteousness. So what are we to conclude from this discussion? Everyone knows we humans certainly aren't Gods or gods either one. So apparently Jesus once again was speaking to His "testers," his biggest political enemies while here on earth, the Scribes and Pharisees. So many of the discussions and statements from Jesus to these people were often filled with difficult concepts and quotes from the OT. It's obvious Jesus' main priority was to humble their thinking and their attitude to Himself and His Father. Blessings to you. Country Girl |
