New Testament (1630)
  1. Honor would be shown to the least. Power would be shown by its opposite. The way of glory was marked with humility.
  2. No work need be done to enter this Sabbath rest, for Christ has done all that is necessary.
  3. The flesh is weak, but you have the Lord’s Supper.
  4. Martha’s pain is not met by a to-do list. Jesus’ reply is not that she should try harder or change her behavior
  5. We must be careful in how we use Bible verses to establish Scriptural truth both to others and to ourselves.

  8. No one knows the day or hour.
  9. A widow’s offering and the end of the age.
  10. Angels minister to us, but Jesus becomes one of us and calls us His brothers and sisters, sharing in our flesh and blood.
  11. God’s promise never to separate us from the love of Jesus means that our security, and our confidence, and our forgiveness—even for our part in past divisions—depends entirely on His faithfulness and not ours.
