On the 7th day, He rested.. Genesis.
There is a Sabbath (day of rest) because He rested.
He created everything.. literally everything in the universe.. and then He rested. Therefore, as followers of God, we rest, to remind ourselves that work is not life. We keep ourselves away from busyness as a reminder that rest is essential.
Who has believed our message and to whom has the arm of the LORD been revealed?
He grew up before him like a tender shoot, and like a root out of dry ground. He had no beauty or majesty to attract us to him, nothing in his appearance that we should desire him.
He was despised and rejected by mankind, a man of suffering, and familiar with pain. Like one from whom people hide their faces he was despised, and we held him in low esteem.
Surely he took up our pain and are our suffering, yet we considered him punished by God, stricken by him, and afflicted.
But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was on him, and by his wounds we are healed.
We all, like sheep, have gone astray, each of us has turned to our own way; and the LORD has laid on him the iniquity of us all.
He was oppressed and afflicted, yet he did not open his mouth; he was led like a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before it's shearers is silent, so he did not open his mouth.
By oppression and judgment he was taken away. Yet who of his generation protested? For he was cut off from the land of the living; for the transgression of my people he was punished.
He was assigned a grave with the wicked, and with the rich in his death, though he had done no violence, nor was any deceit in his mouth.
Yet it was the LORD's will to crush him and cause him to suffer, and though the LORD makes his life an offering for sin, he will see his offspring and prolong his days, and the will of the LRD will prosper in his hand.
After he has suffered, he will see the light of life and be satisfied; by his knowledge my righteous servant will justify many, and he will bear their iniquities.
Therefore I will give him a portion among the great, and he will divide the sails with the strong, because he poured his life unto death, and was numbered with the transgressors. For he bore the sin of many, and made intercession for the transgressors.
God made him who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.
The Lord is a jealous God, filled with vengeance and rage. He takes revenge on all who oppose him and continues to rage against his enemies!
Jesus answered, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me."
What is common sense?
How common is this .. sense?
"sound practical judgment concerning everyday matters, or a basic ability to perceive, understand, and judge in a manner that is shared by nearly all people."
"good sense and sound judgment in practical matters."
"sound and prudent judgment based on simple perception of the situation or facts"
It doesn't seem like this is very prevalent right now.
Can we go back to this, please? People all in agreement about what is practical and understandable?
