Subject: What does Fear God really mean? |
Bible Note: I think this is one of the most momentous events in all of Scripture, for it is here that John fulfills his destiny. Just as he leapt in the womb just being in the vicinity of his unborn cousin, the Holy Spirit moves within him to make the proclamation, heralding the coming of the King. Sometimes we forget that just as Jesus was mentioned in OT prophecy, so was John. Imagine what that must have been like for him, to have grown up reading about himself in the scrolls in the temple! That's enough to humble someone in reverant fear of God... --Joe! |
