Reading 3, Heb 5:11-14 : Warning against falling away
Hebrews 5
|
| 11 |
About this we have much to say which is hard to explain, since you have become dull of hearing. |
| 12 |
For though by this time you ought to be teachers, you need some one to teach you again the first principles of God's word. You need milk, not solid food; |
| 13 |
for every one who lives on milk is unskilled in the word of righteousness, for he is a child. |
| 14 |
But solid food is for the mature, for those who have their faculties trained by practice to distinguish good from evil. |
Gospel, Lk 12:54-59 : Interpret the present time
Luke 12
|
| 54 |
He also said to the multitudes, "When you see a cloud rising in the west, you say at once, `A shower is coming'; and so it happens. |
| 55 |
And when you see the south wind blowing, you say, `There will be scorching heat'; and it happens. |
| 56 |
You hypocrites! You know how to interpret the appearance of earth and sky; but why do you not know how to interpret the present time? |
| 57 |
"And why do you not judge for yourselves what is right? |
| 58 |
As you go with your accuser before the magistrate, make an effort to settle with him on the way, lest he drag you to the judge, and the judge hand you over to the officer, and the officer put you in prison. |
| 59 |
I tell you, you will never get out till you have paid the very last copper." |
