As we approach the end of the month, let's spend another post focusing on our 2010 OCTOBER SCRIPTURE MEMORY. I've had a great visual, in the last few days, of this week's verse. Roger Collins, a friend of mine and Steve's for 39 years died on Monday night. While out running on Saturday, Roger had a masive heart attack. He was 57. He was the humble, kind, gentle, intelligent husband of Debbie, father of four, grandfather, professor at York College, former cross country coach at York College, and elder in the church. Those who have known him for a long time have used the words steady... consistent... persevering.... wise... loving.... and almost everyone has used the word humble. That is not my visual!.
My visual is a lone cross country runner crossing the finish line of the race of a lifetime - sponsored by THE ONE AND ONLY! Standing just across the line is THE ONE AND ONLY Himself - JESUS CHRIST..
To those of us who have been left behind, we take comfort in verses like this week's verse:.
"No one has ever seen God,
but GOD THE ONE AND ONLY,
who is at the Father's side,
has made Him known."
.
Roger has seen more and knows more than he ever did on this earth. There is now a new normal for him, beyond anything we can think or imagine!
.
The entire 2010 OCTOBER SCRIPTURE MEMORY of five verses reads like this:
.
John 1:14-18
John 1:14-18
14 The WORD became flesh
and made His dwelling among us.
We have seen His glory,
the glory of the ONE AND ONLY,
who came from the Father,
full of GRACE and TRUTH.
.
15 John testifies concerning Him.
He cries out, saying,
"This was He of whom I said,
'He who comes after me has surpassed me
because He was before me.'"
.
16 From the fullness of His GRACE
we have all received one BLESSING after another.
.
17 For the law was given through Moses;
GRACE and TRUTH came through JESUS CHRIST.
18 No one has ever seen God,
but GOD THE ONE AND ONLY,
who is at the Father's side,
has made Him known."
Each of those five verses begins differently:
.
- 14 The WORD became flesh...
- 15 John testifies concerning Him....
- 16 From the fullness of His GRACE...
- 17 For the law was given through Moses;
- 18 No one has ever seen God, .
What if we added a visual hook to the beginning of each verse?
.
Would it help?
.
- 14 The WORD became flesh...
- .
- 15 John testifies concerning Him....
. - 16 From the fullness of His GRACE...
- 17 For the law was given through Moses;
- 18 No one has ever seen God,
.
.
.
