Good morning ladies,
The word of the day is “shibboleth.” We currently live in a world that is driven
by the Internet, social media, and everything that comes along with it. In fact, we don't really remember a time when
these means of communication did not exist.
I catch myself often wanting to leave the house late at night because I
see a commercial for my favorite fast food, or some other subliminal message
from a the marketing techniques that bombard our lives. In Jesus’ time, there were also certain
phrases that one might use to help others understand what they were trying to
communicate.
Jesus answered and
said to him, "Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born again he
cannot see the kingdom of God." ~Jn. 3:3
My question is: what are the parts of the Bible that you
know best? For some who have grown up in the church, they might have certain
remembrances of scripture, while others might have seen one or two verses over
and over again on TV, or wherever. Jesus used the words “truly, truly” several
times, a kind of shibboleth, in the Gospels to help people understand that we
was about to say something pretty important. My prayer is that you always look
for what Jesus might want to say to you. Take the opportunities that God gives
you and begin to hear Jesus speak into your life.
Praying for you,
MO
