Bible Note: Hi Buf, I'd like to talk to you about Col 3:17 of which you and charis have been talking concerning the name of the Lord Jesus. Verse sixteen talks about "singing with thankfulness in your hearts to God." Then, "do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks... to God the Father." Notice "giving thanks through Him to God the Father." I would like to compare and contrast a verse in Hebrews 13:14, "Through Him then, let us continually offer up a sacrifice of praise to God, that is, the fruit of lips that give thanks to His name. And do not neglect doing good and sharing; for with such sacrifices God is pleased." I think that we would do well to remember that the one sent is not greater than the one who sent him. I couldn't find the verse. I was led to John 7:15. NASB "The Jews then were astonished, saying, "How has this man become learned, having never been educated? So Jesus answered them and said, "My teaching is not Mine, but His who sent Me. If anyone is willing to do His will, he will know of the teaching, whether it is of God or whether I speak from Myself. He who speaks from himself seeks his own glory; but He who is seeking the glory of the One who sent Him, He is true, and there is no unrighteousness in Him. Did not Moses give you the Law, and yet none of you carries out the Law? Why do you seek to kill Me?" They were seeking to kill this unlearned Man because they didn't know Him. If you, Buf, don't know who gave Him the authority to do the things that He did, and rely simply on the man, Jesus, then you are not judging with righteous judgment but according to appearance. |
