The Prophet Jeremiah’s words from God, to the exiled Israelites, for their disobedience for following false prophets. Later, in God’s own timing, he would restore them.

Follow Jesus’s Example

The Story of the Good Samaritan Luke 10:29 – 37

Ephesians‬ ‭5‬:‭1‬ ‭Therefore be imitators of God, as beloved children;”

Ephesians 5:2 and walk in love, just as Christ also loved you and gave Himself up for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God 2as a fragrant aroma.

2 Christ also loved you and gave Himself up for us. The Lord is the supreme example in His self-sacrificing love for lost sinners (4:32; ROM 5:8–10). He took human sin upon Himself and gave up His very life that men might be redeemed from their sin, receive a new and holy nature, and inherit eternal life (see note on 2Co 5:21). They are henceforth to be imitators of His great love in the newness and power of the Holy Spirit, who enables them to demonstrate divine love. a fragrant aroma. Christ’s offering of Himself for fallen man pleased and glorified His heavenly Father, because it demonstrated in the most complete and perfect way God’s sovereign, perfect, unconditional, and divine kind of love.

Happy Anniversary Kathy

43 years today, I was blessed to marry my beautiful wife. Who would have thought, I would ever be so blessed, to be blessed with such a wife as her. It is an undeserved gift, that I am truly grateful for. Thank you Lord.

“An excellent wife, who can find? For her worth is far above jewels. The heart of her husband trusts in her, And he will have no lack of gain.”

The Ultimate Reward, for Persevering, in the attests of this Life. This is not what we earn, but what God has promised, to those who Believe in Faith in Jesus.

See notes on Mt 5:4, 10, 11. Believers who successfully endure trials are truly happy (cf. 5:11).

perseveres.

See note on v. 3. In this context, it also describes the passive, painful survival of a trial and focuses on the victorious outcome. Such a person never relinquishes his saving faith in God; thus this concept is closely related to the doctrine of eternal security and perseverance of the believer (see note on Mt 24:13; cf. Jn 14:15, 23; 1Jn 2:5, 6, 15, 19; 4:19; 1Pe 1:6–8). trial. See note on v. 2. approved. Lit. “passed the test” (see note on v. 2, “trials”). The believer has successfully and victoriously gone through his trials, indicating he is genuine because his faith has endured like Job’s.

crown of life. Best translated “the crown which is life.”

Crown” was the wreath put on the victor’s head after ancient Greek athletic events. Here, it denotes the believer’s ultimate reward, eternal life, which God has promised to him and will grant in full at death or at Christ’s coming (see notes on 2Ti 4:8; Rev 2:10; cf. 1Pe 5:4).
