Bible Note: Thank you, JVH0212! I appreciate your kind reply. The only thing that I may add here is that we are all after more instruction and are being trained by Jesus Christ. We have not fulfilled or finished our training in Him, and we will not during this lifetime. For Christ was the ultimate Teacher and it is through His authority and discipleship in His Name that we can gain experience and to grow, therefore making our lives available to Him so that He can train us to do His will. This is the highest form of training that one can undergo, and one that can be undertaken by any number of possible subjects in any walk of life on this earth! If only we will respond to the Teacher and be 'teachable'.. |
