Bible Question:
What are your thoughts after meditating on John 6:15, John 18:37, and 1 Samuel 12:12? Do they have anything of relationship to Luke 19:10? Do other Scriptures come to mind? From the heart, Ray |
Bible Answer: Hi Ray, John 6:15, 18:37, 1 Samuel 12:12 For me these scriptures reveal an aspcet of mans carnal nature...(to tke the road of least resistence even if it is not the best road) Israel had God leading and reigning over them Himself,but this required the people to be involved in their salvation, to conciously make decisions regarding God's commands. They wanted a king to do their thinking and decision making for them. When we do this, our personal relationship with God deminishes, but our accountability does not. In relationship with Luke 19:10 Zachias repented and obeyed the conviction of his heart...He thus made Jesus King in his heart..? What comes to mind is Galatians 4:9 Man chooses the weak and carnal things over the deeper more 'heart exposing' things of the Spirit that actually place Jesus on the throne of our heart in our daily lives. God bless, |
