Romans 8 Intro

Romans Chapter 8

It is interesting that, given the allowance for freedom and subjectivity in determining great, greater, and greatest portions of Scripture, we have arrived at the chapter of Scripture which many call the greatest, which is part of the book that many call the greatest, and which contains the verse that many call the greatest. The book is, of course, Romans. The chapter is 8. And the verse is 28. For reasons previously mentioned, Romans could legitimately be called the greatest book in the Bible. But why chapter 8? The Lutheran leader Philipp Jakob Spener (1635–1705) said it most poetically—if the Bible was a ring and the Book of Romans its precious stone, chapter 8 would be "the sparkling point of the jewel." But the American Charles G. Trumbull (1872–1941), editor of The Sunday School Times, perhaps said it most thoroughly:

The eighth of Romans has become peculiarly precious to me, beginning with ‘no condemnation,’ ending with ‘no separation’ [originally noted by Swiss commentator F. Godet (1812–1900)] and in between, ‘no defeat.’ This wondrous chapter sets forth the gospel and plan of salvation; the life of freedom and victory; the hopelessness of the natural man and the righteousness of the born again; the indwelling of Christ and the Holy Spirit; the resurrection of the body and blessed hope of Christ’s return; the working together of all things for our good; every tense of the Christian life, past, present, and future; and the glorious, climactic song of triumph, no separation in time or eternity "from the love of God which is in Jesus Christ our Lord." (Boice, 2:782)

 

It's going to be an interesting 3 weeks on this one.

POST VBS

Well, VBS for 2019 is finished. I really liked the theme this year and hope that you did as well.  I am now looking forward to moving on  with our study in Romans, this week we will be in chapter 7.  This chapter is a continuation to the discussion that Paul began in Romans 6:15, answering the question, "Shall we sin because we are not under the Law, but under grace?" He used the illustration of a master and servant to explain how the Christian should yield himself to God. In chapter seven he uses the illustration of a husband and wife to show that the believer has a new relationship to the Law because of his union with Jesus Christ. 
On Wednesday, we still have our prayer and Bible study time. This week we will begin a study on the Fruit of the Spirit. 

Remembering my mom

This month if my mother were still alive, she would be 100 years young. We always remember different things from different times about our parents. The let me share a couple that just stand out. I believe it was when I turned 9 or 10, it was Christmas and the gift my mom got me, well I just wasn’t sure if she was trying to kill me or wanted me to run away with the circus. She got me unicycle! It came with these two sticks to help you stay up right but it didn’t work for me at all, in fact when I went back to school after Christmas break, I think I had the most bruises I’ve ever had. But she didn’t want either for me she just thought it would be fun to have a unicycle and learn to ride it.

Then skipping many years later, I was in the Army. I was stationed in Germany, this one Christmas I didn’t receive the fruitcake my mom made. You see she made fruitcake every Christmas but she didn’t send it to me this time. Without me even saying anything she knew I was coming home for Christmas. It was supposed to be a surprise but somehow, she knew, I guess they always know.

I know she’s in a much better place I know she loved me as I love her, I know one day I’ll get to see her again of course that time is up to God. Have a wonderful Mother’s Day and don’t forget your mother. God Bless
