2 Peter 3:1 Dear friends, this is now my second letter to you. I have written both of them as reminders to stimulate you to wholesome thinking. 2 I want you to recall the words spoken in the past by the holy prophets and the command given by our Lord and Savior through your apostles.
“We are so often in the position of men whose need is not so much to be taught as to be reminded of what we already know.” William Barclay
One of the snags of being devoted to reading the Word of truth over and over again and blogging about it is feeling you need to come up with something new. But you know what? When the time comes to hit “publish” and all your hours of thought, writing and rewriting don’t even make sense to you it’s time to hit “delete” first. The Word that remains is that stand-alone scripture of last Wednesday from Isaiah “so that you [I] may know and believe me [the Lord] and understand that I am he.” That’s the first lesson of faith.
That, my internet friends, has become part of what I call a custom designed object lesson. I share it because I know Christ lives in me. That one thing is so important that if I never learned anything else that would be enough for God. But…I need these daily reminders so I can live what I already know. Today that lesson is completed and confirmed by the Apostle and Barclay.
The object of what I read is to…
* stimulate you [me] to wholesome thinking
* recall the words spoken in the past by the holy prophets and the command given by our Lord and Savior
– be reminded of what I already know
