Hi everyone I think it would be great if you feel like it, to post occasionally a biblical verse that inspires you or that yo do or not fully understand. It could be a great way to learn and grow in knowledge.
It would be best to avoid verses that will create discord of conflict between denominations or belief system. I suggest a brief description of the context, followed by the verse followed by what you know or think the verse means. I think it could be helpful for many ( especially me!! )
1-context
2-verse or subsequent verses
3-verse(s) explained or interpreted in your own words
4- cross references if needed ( optional)
I will start with john 17:21 ( KJV )
1-context: Jesus prays to his Holy father in heaven
2-verse:John 17:21 That they all may be one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that thou hast sent me.
3-My interpretation: That all may be one, not only Jesus's chosen disciples but all who believe in him be part of the family of GOD! this is quite amazing. When I first stumble on this verse, I realized of the incredible potential for humankind for who believes in the lord and in Jesus who was sent to us by the father. I also thought right away of Genesis; Gen 1:26 And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.
May the Lord bless everyone here on this forum.
