Reading for December 3
Daniel 11:2-35
There is a prophecy about a great war here that lasts for a long time. There isn't much here from a narrative or "life lesson" perspective so I will skip.
1 John 3:7-24
11 For this is the message you heard from the beginning: We should love one another. 14 We know that we have passed from death to life, because we love each other.
Yes! I am always excited when the Bible has something defendable I can use to say "Hey, we're not all a%^holes." And this is one of those things. John claims that the message from the beginning has been to love one another. I would make the leap and say that John is claiming that loving one another is the heart of the message of the Bible and at the very center of who God is. He even shows us how to love one another:
16 This is how we know what love is: Jesus Christ laid down his life for us. And we ought to lay down our lives for our brothers and sisters.We should love eachother not just on a surface level but love eachother sacrificially of one self as Jesus did.
Psalm 122:1-9
Nothing really jumps out at me on this one.
Proverbs 29:1
1 Whoever remains stiff-necked after many rebukes
will suddenly be destroyed—without remedy.
