Sometimes we choke on the hors d'oeuvres at a biblical meal and miss the main course. The rich, profound, and uplifting message of biblical scriptures serves as the main course. In the end, you leave the biblical truth banquet feeling hungry and frustrated.Three appetizers are presented to us in today's devotional reading from the Bible, but they actually side dishes rather than main meals.If a person does not make an effort, he is left to do evil and pay the price. Our sinful ideas are our living sins, while our wrongdoings are our dead works.In response to his forerunner's skepticism, the Lord sent a messenger back who had witnessed what he was doing in order to awaken or strengthen his understanding that his kingdom was not of this world.The Lord's remarks seemed to indicate that he didn't need to worry about his own security. There are numerous explanations for why Jesus of Nazareth was discovered in God's temple.Gospel is the good news that even the greatest sinners have hope-hope for reconciliation, forgiveness, and holiness. It is alive and active, piercing to the division of the soul and spirit, and sharper than a two-edged sword.
Autorenporträt
George MacDonald was a Scottish author, poet, and Christian Congregational clergyman. He established himself as a pioneering figure in modern fantasy writing and mentored fellow writer Lewis Carroll. In addition to his fairy stories, MacDonald wrote various works on Christian theology, including sermon collections. George MacDonald was born on December 10, 1824 in Huntly, Aberdeenshire, Scotland. His father, a farmer, descended from the Clan MacDonald of Glen Coe and was a direct descendant of one of the families killed in the 1692 massacre. MacDonald was raised in an exceptionally literary household: one of his maternal uncles was a renowned Celtic scholar, editor of the Gaelic Highland Dictionary, and collector of fairy stories and Celtic oral poetry. His paternal grandfather had helped to publish an edition of James Macpherson's Ossian, a contentious epic poem based on the Fenian Cycle of Celtic Mythology that contributed to the birth of European Romanticism. MacDonald's step-uncle was a Shakespeare scholar, while his paternal cousin was also a Celtic intellectual.
