Bible Question: I would like to know what does Jesus really mean when he says "Verily, Verily. Thanks. |
Bible Answer: mallen, It is a sad, sad shame that Jesus isn’t recognized enough in the world that He could just say, "Verily," and everybody would listen. But when the Lord wants our attention, He is willing to become like a nobody in order to try to grab hold of our minds, so He says, "Verily, verily…." Back in the Old Testament when God wanted Abraham to do something, He said, "Abraham, Abraham." When God wanted Jacob, He said, "Jacob, Jacob." In the book of I Samuel, chapter 3, the Lord spoke to little Samuel: "Samuel, Samuel." When He spoke to Saul on the road to Damascus, He said, "Saul, Saul." When He spoke to Simon Peter in Luke 22, He said, "Simon, Simon, behold, Satan hath desired to have you, that he may sift you as wheat: But I have prayed for thee." When Jesus hung on the cross of Calvary, He cried out, "My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?" He says to us, "Verily, verily: What I am about to say is doubly important." He is trying to get our attention, like blowing a horn or tapping on a glass. You have noticed that over public address systems at some places, like hospitals, any announcement is always repeated. God bless |
