I agree with you. I can at least read it again, and I'll be sure to do that. As to reviewing it here on LSN, I suppose I'll get to ch. 24 early next year, but then I'll also have the whole of Luke prior to that to work on. Unless Jesus returns first.
That's a wonderful passage, PeterP. I look forward to the day when I can work on it too :) But, since I've resolved to go through Luke in order, that day won't come, for me, for some time :) At the moment my "new" Luke passages are in chapter 13.
1 Peter 2:24. Thank you for reminding me about that verse also. Dying to sin -- a choice we are to make every morning, as we pray upon waking, but accompanying that is the joy of living to our God! and that verses is also beautiful in how Peter alludes to Isaiah 53. That verse contains the gospel in a nutshell -- "He Himself bore our sins in His body on the cross" .... There are so many "gem verses"; verse 23 in the same chapter, "and while being reviled, He did not revile in return"; and on and on and on.
Thank you to jcosimi and to MarkAnthony. Yes, I too love John 14:27 :) As to the youtube link, I've already opened it and will listen to it :) That's probably just the "medicine" I need this morning :)
Thank you for asking, Saintman. I was grateful for what you shared yesterday from 1 Peter; those which you mentioned are special to me too. The verse you mentioned from 1 Peter 5 is a verse which an "older brother" (or so he seemed at the time; I was 17 and he was 21) but that older brother shared it with me not long after I got saved. Thank you for reminding me of that verse, Saintman.
It's hard for me to isolate a gem verse; but here's a couple of sequences of verses I've been thinking about lately.
Luke 12:2-5 2 But there is nothing covered up that will not be revealed, and hidden that will not be known. 3 Accordingly, whatever you have said in the dark will be heard in the light, and what you have whispered in the inner rooms will be proclaimed upon the housetops. 4 “I say to you, My friends, do not be afraid of those who kill the body and after that have no more that they can do. 5 But I will warn you whom to fear: fear the One who, after He has killed, has authority to cast into hell; yes, I tell you, fear Him!
John 15:9-11 9 Just as the Father has loved Me, I have also loved you; abide in My love. 10 If you keep My commandments, you will abide in My love; just as I have kept My Father’s commandments and abide in His love. 11 These things I have spoken to you so that My joy may be in you, and that your joy may be made full.
To JDJDJD: I promised a while ago that I'd create a blog post explaining how I use my spreadsheet to manage my LS queue. Well, I've finally done it. I hope that it's helpful to you or to someone else. My spreadsheet is rather complicated, but much simpler versions could also be used. Here's the link: https://telegra.ph/Explanation-about-my-spreadsheet-08-29
Yes, Moviegoer, all that makes sense, particularly the first paragraph where you described that "expectation" and then being freed from same by engaging in memorization ... I've had the same experience. Profound thanks.
I just want to add to TheMoviegoer, I didn't even think to congratulate you on the 67 - 72% in the three sections of 1 Peter chapter 1. Well done! and we look forward to hearing more about it in the future.
