ReplyDeleteThe B90 Daily - Day 69
For: participants and group leaders taking the Bible Reading Challenge
From: the Bible in 90 Days Ministry (www.biblein90days.org)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Today's reading
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Pages 816-828 (Matthew 5 - 15)
Something to ponder
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
As your continue your reading, view the NT with new eyes. See if Christ doesn't actually "up the ante." (e.g. Matthew 5:21-22)
Key passage
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"You have heard that it was said to the people long ago, 'Do not murder, and anyone who murders will be subject to judgment.' But I tell you that anyone who is angry with his brother will be subject to judgment. Again, anyone who says to his brother, 'Raca,' is answerable to the Sanhedrin. But anyone who says, 'You fool!' will be in danger of the fire of hell."
Matthew 5:21-22
Reminder
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The NT is serious stuff, as illustrated above. It is NOT all about GRACE, as we sometimes come to believe from the popular verses we may encounter frequently in various venues. At the same time, we've just seen that the OT is littered with GRACE. Isn't it something to see the "whole story" come more into focus?
Encouragement
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Almost every man who has by is lifework added to the sum of human achievement... has based his lifework largely upon the teachings of the Bible."
Theodore Roosevelt
