The Bible Study –
Our readings for Monday, May 27 are Ecclesiastes 4:1-16 and John 7:32-53.
In today’s Old Testament text, the teacher speaks of the cruelty of oppression in the secular world; the hardness of heart that refuses to love God and other people.
Our gracious God gives us the gits of family and friendship, and especially the family of fellow Christian believers.
To place our focus instead on money and status, is an error.
To be a humble believer is better than the life of the Godless rich who ignore their Saviour.
In our Gospel passage, Christ discloses that after the cross and resurrection, He will return to God the Father, a place those who oppose Him will not come to.
The invitation for all who spiritually thirst to come to Jesus is extended during this lifetime through the Church.
Those who accept the free gift of salvation through faith, that the Spirit works within us, will be saved.
They will become rivers of living water to all who hear the precious Gospel through them.
