just as moses lifted up the snake in the desert, so the Son of Man must be lifted up, that everyone who believes in Him may have eternal life. (john 3:14-15, niv)
questions regarding the scripture:
what is JESUS referring to when HE says that "the SON of MAN must be lifted up"???
is believing that JESUS is the SON of GOD the same as believing in GOD's SON, JESUS???
questions about yesterday's scripture:
give thanks to the LORD, for He is good;
His love endures forever.
let the redeemed of the LORD say this—
those He redeemed from the hand of the foe!!!
(psalm 107: 1-2, niv)
who are the "redeemed"??? the redeemed are the children of GOD who walk in HIS light and live a righteous life.
why is it important for the "redeemed" to praise GOD??? it is important for those who KNOW GOD to praise HIM so that others can hear the truth about HIM and desire a personal relationship with HIM, too.
who is "the foe"??? the foe is satan.
memory of the day:
an old friend had a "normal" day;
