CHRISTIANITY.

   Matthew 14:14 (14) And when Jesus went out He saw a great multitude; and He was moved with compassion for them, and healed their sick.    Mark 6:34 (34) And Jesus, when He came out, saw a great multitude and was moved with compassion for them, because they were like sheep not having a shepherd. So He began to teach them many things. New King James Version     Change Bible versions " Jesus  is "moved with compassion" when He sees the needy multitudes exhausted and wandering like sheep that had been tattered from cruel fleecing. Twice He is "moved with compassion" when He sees the hungry multitudes without food ( Matthew 14:14 ;  15:32 ). The two blind men ( Matthew 20:34 ) and the leper ( Mark 1:41 ) also stir His compassion, as does the sorrow of the widow at Nain ( Luke 7:13 ). "In addition, Jesus uses the word translated "compassion" in three of His  parables : The king has compassion on his bankrupt servant and f...

Proverbs 8:13    (13) The fear of the LORD  is  to hate evil; Pride and arrogance and the evil way And the perverse mouth I hate. New King James Version "What does "the fear of the Lord" entail? Another proverb,  Proverbs 9:10 , helps us to understand: "The fear of the L ORD  is the beginning of wisdom, and the knowledge of the Holy One is understanding." While  Proverbs 8:13  defines what the fear of the Lord  is ,  Proverbs 9:10  shows what it  produces . Understanding the effect of the fear of the Lord will help us to understand the cause. "This verse uses a Hebraism in which the two clauses are written in parallel. The "fear of the L ORD " in the first clause is linked to "knowledge of the Holy One" in the second, while the "beginning of wisdom" corresponds to "understanding." Most translations hide the fact that the Hebrew word rendered as "Holy One" is actually plural. It refers...

Hebrews 1:10-12    And:   " You, LORD, in the beginning laid the foundation of the earth, And the  LORD  are the work of Your hands. They will perish, but You remain; And   they will all grow old like a garment; Like a cloak You will fold them up, And they will be changed. But You are the   same, And Your years will not fail." New King James Version "To us, the physical  seems  so solid, indestructible, and permanent, at least in terms of our own brief existence. But Hebrews tells us to get our attention off the immediate, the "around and about," the physical. We are to reorient our lives, our thinking, our focus, toward the eternality of Christ's dominion. "A profound reality of  God  and His Word is that  they are changeless . "You remain,"  Hebrews 1:11  says, but we grow old and die. The eternal values never change, and even more exciting, they can be taken through the grav...

   Ephesians 2:1-3 (1) And you  He made alive,  who were dead in trespasses and sins, (2) in which you once walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit who now works in the sons of disobedience, (3) among whom also we all once conducted ourselves in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, just as the others.  New King James Version     Change your email Bible version "Satan subtly persuaded Adam and Eve that by taking the knowledge of good and evil, they would be like gods, and by this he inserted himself as a rival to  God  for man's loyalty. He implied that they could institute their own ways and standards. However, he concealed from them that he would influence mankind in establishing those ways and standards so that he, the god of  this world , would be sovereign and obeyed. The resul...

Luke 17:32    (32) Remember Lot's wife. Genesis 19:26 (26) But his wife looked back behind him, and she became a pillar of salt. New King James Version "Just before Lot's wife reached her place of safety—though she had made some effort to escape the impending disaster—Lot's wife disobeyed the angel's command and looked back. "She became a pillar of salt" ( Genesis 19:26 ). "Why did she look back? The context does not specifically give a reason, but she probably had an inordinate love for  the world  and the material things she had in Sodom. Obviously, Lot was a wealthy man who had enough livestock and servants to cause a problem while he lived with Abraham ( Genesis 13:5-7 ). He and his wife may have had a palatial house with many fine furnishings, servants to do her bidding, fine clothes, sumptuous food, and frequent entertainment. "Also, Lot had achieved prominence among the citizens of Sodom beyond hi...

Hebrews 6:1    Therefore, leaving the discussion of the elementary   principles   of Christ, let us go on to perfection, not laying again the foundation of repentance from dead works and of faith toward God,   New King James Version "These doctrines or principles are very important.  God  will grant us  repentance  and forgive us through the blood of  Jesus Christ . What good news! But it is not  the  good news. That is the principle: Being granted repentance and having  faith  in and through Jesus Christ are good news, but the result of those things is the real good news. It is the culmination of the process—"let us go on to perfection"—that is the good news. "What if  the gospel  concentrates on the Messenger rather than the message He brought? If it focuses on the greatness of the Messenger, all of the good news about Him, and His importance to the process, His significance actuall...
