    1. Someday, we will be there, Dora! That will be possible and we believe it by faith based on our LORD’s promises as written in His Word. You are right, that will be a wonderful moment to listen and converse with our GOD, King, and Redeemer. May we also heed the lessons of JESUS CHRIST’s Parables. GOD bless you and your family!

    1. That is a fascinating imagination on what it feels that day, Alan! It should be a mesmerizing sermon for the crowd. Like in a good condition to study/hear a lecture for an examination. But on the succeeding verses, we will know that GOD opens the eyes to some so that they can understand the message of the parables; and some were kept blind to its meaning. So majestic when someday, JESUS talks to an assembly of elect in heaven (on a glassy sea) and we listen to His voice. GOD bless you and your family!

    1. We can only imagine, Jim, what it was like and would be like someday in heaven! Right now, with the Truths that we learned from the Bible, we will be most appreciative of every word that JESUS CHRIST utters on the beach. Like every moment, we are captivated by His Words and be reminded of other verses in the Bible. But of course, this remains to be a product of our imagination but it something that entertains my thought years ago, the first time that I read the entire New Testament. GOD bless you and your family! Praying still.

      1. Love that the song! Good point you mentioned about the safeguard of the Word but will be such a joy to go to heaven and if there is any heavenly video of moments in the Gospel I want to watch it!

        1. Probably, there will be as those moments can easily be access in heaven, in a technology we have yet to imagine (if not embedded in our memories in our glorified body). Praying for you!

        2. So, “I can only imagine” is part of my testimony. I demolished a car when I was 21 (July 2003) the paramedics when they arrived on the scene thought I was a fatality. I would have totally decapitated my passenger had I had one. Anyway, the ambulance took me to the hospital where all I had was a Rocky Balboa black eye. Anyway, several months prior (Nov 2002) I literally almost died from mononucleosis and strep throat, my spleen was enlarged and I was jaundiced because my liver was starting to fail. I committed my life to Christ at some point NIV-Dec 2002. Anyway, back to July 2003, when I got out of the hospital “I can only imagine” was on my mom’s car radio and I really started crying and from that point I really started to want to live for the Lord. Thank you for opening your comments up again, Kent. I really appreciate it. I am so thankful that neither of you limit God and put Him in a box! The Lord can use, songs, books, and all kinds of various media to get His peoples attention. Praising God for both of you! If God can save a wretch like me, I pray your unbelieving readers will know He will save them as well when they look to Jesus by grace through faith. Love and blessings, y’all!

        3. Sister Mandy, thanks for sharing your testimony, wow, God can really use a song as in your testimony; what a journey you’ve had too to come to Christ; grateful God saved you!

        4. Reading on your testimony, Mandy makes us say in the common secular expression, “thank your lucky stars.” But we know the stars have nothing to do with that. GOD really has a huge plan for your life, all for His glory. We are indeed, so grateful to GOD that He took care of you in those so so critical occasions. We are truly grateful to GOD to have you around and His Word that you have shared through your blog and comments/responses. Without a doubt this is a strong testimony for GOD’s grace and your life is now is a living testimony for Him. We encourage those who have not yet decided a path to JESUS CHRIST to ask Him to come in their lives and be their Lord GOD and Savior. It is not necessarily drastic and slowly is fine as long as it is surely. Rocky Rambo, our generation eh. Here is something for you.

    1. Yes, I agree with your impression, Alan! We can only have a glimpse of how joyous (so say the least) that moment is of seeing our Savior and GOD. In a single overwhelming moment, mysteries are answered combined with a feeling of being really blessed.

    1. Good morning, Claire! 🌞 Thank you for recommending the series and your encouragement as well! It is something that I planned to watch. The app site is just right for me (Android) and the website. This will give me an idea on the context and background for starters. Thank you very much, I really appreciate this. GOD bless you and your family! 🙂👍

    1. You are right Richard, JESUS’ ministry attracted a lot of people in thousands (e.g. feeding of 5000 and 4000). There was spiritual hunger as well as physical hunger. Let us not discount that some of them were after food (John 6:25-27) and the “truths” they can accept (John 6:60-66) but we rejoice that there are those who remained steadfast and believe in faith that JESUS is the Messiah and the Son of GOD. GOD bless you and your family!

  1. One day we shall see the Lord face to face, and we can’t even begin to comprehend what that eternal moment will be like. Seeing the graphic for your chosen Bible verse, takes me back to a few years ago what I was so blessed to walk around the Sea of Galilee and allow my mind to travel and imagine what it would have been like to hear Jesus preach.
    Thank you Clark. The Lord bless you richly . A good evening to you .

    1. We long for that day to come, Crissy, when we can meet our Lord and walk with Him in His Kingdom. I believe that moment will be something jubilant like walking on the clouds or in cloud nine. A person will be very happy if he/she could have a selfie with their idol or beloved artist/athlete. How much more, we will be in the presence of GOD. It is nostalgic I presumed and gives you also a perspective on the crowd that gathered around the beach in Galilee. Someday in heaven, we will know what happened on those days when GOD talked face-to-face with His followers and creation. If we have the augmented reality technology here, how much more the most advance place in all existence. GOD bless you, your family, and ministry team! Good night, Crissy!
