"The Spirit of the Sovereign LORD is on me, because the LORD has anointed me to preach good news to the poor. He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim freedom for the captives and release from darkness for the prisoners, to proclaim the year of the LORD's favor and the day of vengeance of our God, to comfort all who mourn, and provide for those who grieve in Zion — to bestow on them a crown of beauty instead of ashes, the oil of gladness instead of mourning, and a garment of praise instead of a spirit of despair."~from ISAIAH 61 Bible verse for this Blog

APOLOGY to READERS who followed a SEARCH to HERE & didn't find it

On July 18, 2017, I drafted almost 3000 blog posts that I had published since 2008 when I began blogging, rather than edit each one. So if you clicked here from somewhere else and ended up with the post unavailable or error, I am sorry but this is why. It'd be too much work for me to go back and fix them. There's an explanation on 7/19/17 as I'm still learning.

JESUS, the Storyteller (30)



Today's is the last in Section Four with

JESUS

the Storyteller

telling us about

"A Divine Divider"

30. A Divine Divider               7/23

JESUS

is the

DIVINE DIVIDER

Luke 12:51

"He brings doctrines that divide.

He is Creator come in the flesh to reveal Truth..."

 Dr. Henry Morris writes,

“The division is life or death, light or darkness, heaven or hell, Christ or antichrist . . . and the choice is ours!”


Heavy words, but so much truth.

"Divine division: The two words appear to be an oxymoron--an expressed idea in which there seems to be completely contradictory terms. 

"Divine" means that something is of God or emanates from Him.  "Division" is the act of dividing, separating into two parts, or forming a boundary between." Global Christian


As you know, I really like to search for meanings & this link brings us 16 chapters on

DIVINE DIVISION

I'm quite curious about which Parable this "Divine Divider" is about but I'm pretty sure

that it has to do with "to whom much is given, much is expected".

Let's look at the Scriptures for this final week:

Luke 16:19-31; Matthew 25:31-46; Revelation 20:11-15; Matthew 7:21-23; 2 Thessalonians 1:5-10

The devotion is divided into these segments/subtitles:

"Eternal Reversal" 

"Our Final Exit"
 -"...today's decision determines tomorrow's destiny"

"Live Right"

"Look Ahead"

"Listen to God" - "Begin now to live for God, look to God, and listen to God for that is the only life that will matter both today and tomorrow."

This Week's Prayer:

"Lord, thank You for Your Word, which guides us into all truth. Quicken my heart to receive and respond to Your Gospel today." Thank You for the lessons in the Parables.


The rich man and the poor man - which one would you rather be?
