Yes, the next verse is more sensitive, Tom. And honestly, I had a hard time yesterday looking for a corresponding human picture for that verse (scheduled for tomorrow, Sunday/virtual church day), there are too many human choices actually but you’ll be surprised who that cheerful [actor, politician, or philanthropist] giver/someone is. 🙂
True, Jim, that is a good principle for us servants of JESUS CHRIST vis-à-vis the great commission. On a different note, sadly, there are many in that sect, even here in the Philippines, who see the gospel in the lenses of gaining good fortunes [and not carrying the cross].
Well, in the judgement day, many will say, we prophesy (or even professed) under your name. We have an idea what our Lord and Savior, JESUS CHRIST will say based on the Bible.
I was searching for your site this morning, I could not find it. But, I found it and I have it saved in my favorites now. I love the photos you put with the scriptures. Thank you for this wonderful post.
Thanks, Kent. Many pastors quote this verse, but notoriously don’t quote the very next one.
