I hope you wind up appreciating our Lord Jesus as our high priest more, as I did after reading it.
Witness Lee liked to bash commentarys. Now I see how much I was robbed by listening to him. Lee took a lot of what he preached on from them it turns out. |
Wow - that first commentary was really a good in-depth exposition of Christ's care and work with us in mind, as pictured by Aaron! Thanks for sharing.
Commentaries can be quite good, but I always keep in mind they are just written by brothers (or sisters) like you and me (although certainly highly educated in the subject matter). We all see through a glass darkly and are prone to fleshly limitations. But there are some really good ones out there.
And I don't always connect or agree with the writers of the daily devotionals I read. But there was one yesterday, that talked about the life being in the blood, that I saw something in. Jesus said, "Unless you eat the flesh and drink the blood of the Son of Man, you have no life in you." Just as it stumbled many of those He spoke this to, I was always a little bothered by the saying. That was even though I had all the teachings on it . . . But when the devotional mentioned "the life is in the blood" something suddenly made a little more sense. It's a spiritual reality. As the song goes, "We can eat and drink of Jesus all the time! He's our daily life supply - only He can satisfy. Come and dine the Lord is calling come and dine!"
