- Jesus was born in Bethlehem in Judea, during the reign of King Herod. About that time some wise men from eastern lands arrived in Jerusalem, asking, “Where is the newborn king of the Jews? We saw his star as it rose, and we have come to worship him.”
- Don’t imagine that I came to bring peace to the earth! I came not to bring peace, but a sword.
- The rich think of their wealth as a strong defense;
they imagine it to be a high wall of safety. - We cannot imagine the power of the Almighty;
but even though he is just and righteous,
he does not destroy us. - “My thoughts are nothing like your thoughts,” says the Lord.
“And my ways are far beyond anything you could imagine.” - That is what the Scriptures mean when they say,
“No eye has seen, no ear has heard,
and no mind has imagined
what God has prepared
for those who love him.”
All who declare that Jesus is the Son of God have God living in them, and they live in God. Don’t just pretend to love others. Really love them. Hate what is wrong. Hold tightly to what is good.Next verse!With image
