Bible Note: Hi Steve: I found some interesting verses, that might shed a different light, on how we are to take what we read. We first have to look at the Disciples (Apostles), they were in a special position, they WERE the first, they were at the starting point, they will also have a different reward. Matthew 19:27 Peter answered him, "We have left everything to follow you! What then will there be for us?" Matthew 19:28 Jesus said to them, "I tell you the truth, at the renewal of all things, when the Son of Man sits on his glorious throne, you who have followed me will also sit on twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel. Luke 22:28 Ye are they which have continued with me in my temptations. Luke 22:29 And I appoint unto you a kingdom, as my Father hath appointed unto me; Luke 22:30 That ye may eat and drink at my table in my kingdom, and sit on thrones judging the twelve tribes of Israel. This is only to show you, we cannot apply everything, that Jesus said to them, (to OURSELVES.) Hope it helps. God Bless Jim |
