Bible Note: Dear Azure, I don't think so, Azure. It appears from my -however limited- knowledge of Scripture, that they are both taught as equally important. Reading this chapter (Romans 12) gives us a very good picture of how we are to act toward one another in the spirit of Christian love. Showing in all things toward our brethren to give generously as it has been given to us: v 6a "Since we have gifts that differ according to the grace given to us, each of us is to exercise them accordingly:" If you are one who finds it easy to rejoice, then, if someone is rejoicing, rejoice with them, for all you are worth, and if you are one who has a special place in your heart for those who are grieving, then, by all means, show this with empathy, and tender compassion. I know you will! :-) God bless John |
