Subject: Two swords:is the love of God enough |
Bible Note: Hi terrib, I got the "two swords" from the Scripture passage that Oswaldo Adame was considering above. Luke 22:38, "And they said, "Lord, look, here are two swords." And He said to them, "It is enough". The question is "what is the it?" The fact that there are two swords shows that He is talking only about one of the swords. "It" meaning, "The one sword is enough". After Jesus talks about the sword that one should sell his robe for, He quotes a Scripture that He says is fulfilled in Himself. The sword of the Spirit is the word of God. So perhaps the disciples recognized that there were two swords being discussed here. For me, when He said "It is enough", I appropriate the word of God and recognize that "He was numbered with the transgressors" and that He died for me. For me, the love of God (as shown in the word of God) is enough. I compare Luke 22:35-38 with Ephesians 6:21-24. God loves us and we love God. It is enough; love with faith. From the heart, Ray |
