Scripture: "'Peter asked, “Lord, are you telling this parable to us, or to everyone?” ...[Jesus said]...From everyone who has been given much, much will be demanded; and from the one who has been entrusted with much, much more will be asked." Luke 12:41,48 (NIV) Application: The Word of God fits everyone. For instance, we can't say that the message of "Thous shalt not kill" doesn't apply to us when Jesus clearly teaches that murder begins in the heart, and when we are angry with one another, we are subject to judgment. (Matthew 5:21,22) So it is with every bit of scripture. Instead of seeking loopholes of escape, we must always search our hearts to see where Biblical teaching applies to us. Prayer: Jesus, our Teacher, help us understand how scripture applies to us in all instances so that we can better serve You and each other. Amen. Comments are closed.
