hope you enjoy this ...
"him who hath an ear let him hear..." Jesus simply spoke in parables for the fact that if you want to ignore him you can. there are many understandings that take the spiritual revelation and to have an open spiritual understanding of things. This is why prayer and seeking God is so important. Prayer and fasting is a must for that christian that wants to really be a changing force.
here is a fundamental scripture its the LAST thing Christ said before the ascension (so it must be pretty important IMO):
Act 1:7-9 (red = Christ's words)
(7) And he said unto them, It is not for you to know the times or the seasons, which the Father hath put in his own power.
(8) But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.
(9) And when he had spoken these things, while they beheld, he was taken up; and a cloud received him out of their sight.
verse 8 is my focus : "ye shall recieve power" then .. "ye shall be witnesses unto me both in jerusalem ... and to th uttermost parts of the earth"
two phrases by STRONGS ..
"ye shall receive" - G2983 // λαμβάνω // lambanō // lam-ban'-o
A prolonged form of a primary verb, which is used only as an alternate in certain tenses; to take (in very many applications, literally and figuratively [probably objective or active, to get hold of; whereas G1209 is rather subjective or passive, to have offered to one; while G138 is more violent, to seize or remove]): - accept, + be amazed, assay, attain, bring, X when I call, catch, come on (X unto), + forget, have, hold, obtain, receive (X after), take (away, up).
"ye shall be" - G2071 //ἔσομαι // esomai // es'-om-ahee
Future tense of G1510; will be: - shall (should) be (have), (shall) come (to pass), X may have, X fall, what would follow, X live long, X sojourn.
"witnesses" - G3144 //μάρτυς //martus // mar'-toos
Of uncertain affinity; a witness (literally [judicially] or figuratively [generally]); by analogy a "martyr": - martyr, record, witness.
we try to be witnesses unto "the utter most part of the earth", we should aim to save OUR Jerusalem. we are proposed by CHRIST to be a witness, how many times after you received your power (Holy Ghost) have you NOT been a witness?
just wondering!
comment and tell me what you think!
I like the thought. Its powerful. I do ask a question for clarity. Your commentary said to save OUR Jerusalem. Where exactly do you believe this place is?
