John 5:25-29 : The End is the New Beginning

Lernen

25 Verily, verily, I say unto you, The hour is coming, and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God: and they that hear shall live.

26 For as the Father hath life in himself; so hath he given to the Son to have life in himself;

27 And hath given him authority to execute judgment also, because he is the Son of man.

28 Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming, in the which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice,

29 And shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation.

We use a calendar that has 12 months and 365 days in it. As it nears December 31st, we feel as though something is getting close to an end, and yet on January 1st it feels like a new beginning. Our life is composed of many endings and beginnings. We may live one life, but within this one life we have many different journeys.

2659. Verse 11 And the matter was deeply distressing to Abraham 1 because of his son.

'The matter was deeply distressing to Abraham' means the Lord's state at first when He thought about that rational being separated from Himself. 'Because of his son' means for the reason that He delighted in it.

Fußnoten:

1. literally, exceedingly evil in Abraham's eyes
