Subject: Where do I go from here? |
Bible Note: Hi Treadway, I hesitate to write anything because I have been up to a northern beach here in Michigan for vacation and am leaving right now for a few more days in the sun. But I wanted to answer my mail so I would say this about 1 Peter 1:10-13. First of all, I see no "soon" in my NASB copy. What I see is the Holy Spirit sent from heaven, the revelation of Jesus as the Christ, the Expected One, even the Father, the One who impartially will judge the redeemed by the blood of the unblemished lamb. He has appeared for our sakes and has been raised from the dead and our hope is in God. I compare verse 13 and "the revelation of (Jesus) Christ" with John 11:26, "and everyone who lives and believes in Me shall never die. Do you believe this? She [Martha] said to Him, "Yes, Lord; I have believed that (You) are the Christ, the Son of God, even He who comes into the world." I have to hit the road. Later. From the heart, Ray |
