We have the mind of Kay…er Mark…er Todd
Nov 21st, 2008 Posted in Lessons from Precept Bible Study | no comment »TGIF! At our house we feel that way, because it’s the night we host Precept Bible study. Just this year, we’ve worked our way through Leviticus, then on to Numbers, and back to Genesis. We’ve taken 22 weeks to get through Genesis Chapter 11! It’s a strange way to study the Pentateuch, but that’s okay.
My husband once commented that when we finish studying a book of the Bible, we “own” it. What’s really exciting is when members of our group share their insights concerning the scripture we’ve studied, and Kay Arthur brings out the same points in the accompanying video. We look at each other, give “high fives” all around, and say: “We have the mind of Kay!”
We all go to church together. When our Pastor is preaching a message about a subject we’ve covered, or a book of the Bible we “own,” we all look at each other and give smiley “high fives.” We have the mind of Pastor Mark!
Recently I was listening to a “Way of the Master” radio broadcast. Todd Friel read a true story about a depraved act some teens in England perpetrated. He then asked callers to call in to tell him the scripture he was thinking about which described the teens’ behavior. I immediately thought of 2 Timothy 3
, and dialed the 800 number to the show. But at the last minute I changed my mind and offered Romans 1:18. GONG. Wrong Answer — on to the next caller. Later, Todd said he had been thinking of 2 Timothy 3. Mental “high five!” I had the mind of Todd!
Isn’t that goofy? I am a Christian! I have the mind of Christ! I have the Holy Spirit living within me, teaching me all about God’s Word, and bringing to mind everything I have learned. You can have the mind of Christ too. Trust in Jesus as your Lord and Savior, and repent from your sins. Then read your Bible and “own” it!
1 Cor 2:16 “For who has known the mind of the Lord
that he may instruct him?” But we have the mind of Christ.
