RE: The Gospel of Matthew

in #reliquary6 years ago

The four points you raised here are salient from the above chapter of the scripture. Matthew 6 is one of the chapters of the scripture that educates us on how life will be well lived on earth while pleasing God.

Dear Knight, may I glean more from your understanding of Matthew 6: 11 :

‘Give us this day our daily bread.

Does this imply that we do not have to clamour for more. "daily" bread to me seems just like how the Israelite had to take just enough of manna for each day, except otherwise prescribed by God. How can we reconcile this with "running over" of our cup as David prayed in Psalm 23??

Sort:  

Wow - we mice aren't even sure what you are asking of the Knight, we hope he does.

We mice are simple creatures - and we like it when we keep it this way.

Thank you @sniffnscurry for coming around. I only want to share from @Sirknight's thoughts on the subject of that verse.

Friend Uyobong, this Knight reads the Bible for enjoyment, personal develpment and for moral guidance. Reconciling is for accountants.

Curious though - why reconcile daily bread to cups running over and manna - when you could go back a couple of chapters and note a potential hypocrisy when it comes to the consumption.

SK.

Sir, the response you gave is quite deep though sounding simple. I just got another lesson from the reply. Thank you!
