Listening for the 3rd time, drinking from a fire hose. I can never thank you enough for all your hard work and study, and you are giving me this amazing gift!
Thank you. But i would feel more at ease about this episode if it was signed off by someone high in church leadership. It feels like you started with tslking about scripture, and then got pretty direct about things.
How about President Holland? In his book Witness for His Names, for the name “Nail in a Sure Place,” President Holland wrote: In a moving Messianic tribute, Isaiah prophesied of Christ's mission and Crucifixion with these words: “And I will clothe him with thy robe, and strengthen him with thy girdle, and I will commit thy government into his hand: and he shall be a father to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and to the house of Judah. “And the key of the house of David will I lay upon his shoulder; so he shall open, and none shall shut; and he shall shut, and none shall open. “And I will fasten him as a nail in a sure place; and he shall be for a glorious throne to his father's house. “And they shall hang upon him all the glory of his father's house, the offspring and the issue, all vessels of small quantity, from the vessels of cups, even to all the vessels of flagons. “In that day, saith the Lord of hosts, shall the nail that is fastened in the sure place be removed, and be cut down, and fall; and the burden that was upon it shall be cut off: for the Lord hath spoken it” (Isaiah 22:21-25, emphasis added). When the Roman soldiers drove their four-and-one-half-inch crucifixion spikes into their victim's flesh, they did so first in the open palm. But because the weight of the body might tear that flesh and not sustain the burden to be carried, they also drove nails into the wrist, down in the nexus of bones and sinews that would not tear no matter what the weight. Thus, the nail in the wrist was the “nail in a sure place.” Once it was removed and the Savior was “cut down,” the burden of the crucified body (more literally, the burden of the Atonement) was brought to an end. In terms of our salvation, Christ is the Nail in a Sure Place-never failing, never faltering, ever the most certain and reliable force in eternity. For this we surely “hang upon him all the glory of his father's house.” Witness for His Names by Jeffrey R. Holland
@@BryceDunford that is good... hmmm. it's hard to criticize someone being potentially too explicit without going there myself. What you said to your wife was beautiful. But my concern is with the portion that is a part of. I dunno. I hope it's okay but i'm afraid of whether it is. beautiful and helpful symbolism though. It helps me to see that a relationship i recently left is one in which we were NOT ready for covenant marriage.
It seems like you are tentative and in a place of fear vers faith in your personal life. Your desire to do what is right, I am sure, is seen by the Lord. ❤
Amazing! I appreciate the Spirit I feel here. Thank you, Brother Dunford.
❤BEAUTIFULLY GIVEN❤
