Monday – January 3rd – Hebrews 2:10-11 -----
2:10) For it was fitting for Him, for whom are all things and by whom are all things, in bringing many sons to glory, to make the captain of their salvation perfect through sufferings.
11) For both He who sanctifies and those who are being sanctified are all of one, for which reason He is not ashamed to call them brethren,
The Daily Walk Bible inspirational thought for today:
GOD MAY NOT PROMISE A COMFORTABLE JOURNEY, BUT HE DOES GUARANTEE A SAFE LANDING.*
Good Monday morning, afternoon, or evening to you. Never sure when folks will actually read this scripture blog, so I wanted to cover all the bases. I didn’t mention it on Saturday, but we are now starting our fifth year of our journey through the Bible. Yes, on January 1, 2018, I started what was intended to be a year-long pick of my favorite verses from the Bible. Well, as you can see, I have more verses than a year can accommodate. At some point, maybe in the book of Acts, we transitioned from “favorite” verse to a verse-by-verse study of scripture. My prayer is that it has been helpful to your spiritual journey. I am curious who has been with us since Genesis 1:1 back on 1/1/18? If you are wondering about what remains for us, I anticipate it will take most of 2022 to cover what is still before us in scripture – just think about the potential focus we could have just on the book of Revelation. Thanks for being part of the journey with me.
Our two verses today speak to the ordering of the nature of God, and God’s plan of salvation for humanity. Verse ten identifies God the father as the author of salvation for the world and Jesus as the “captain” of that salvation. Without the suffering of Jesus, He could not save people from their sins. He became the sacrificial lamb that would take on the burden of the people’s sin. In verse eleven “he who sanctifies” is Jesus, the son of God, and those who are being sanctified are the people of God. Thus, they can all be said to be of one, belonging to God. The Son of God himself became human so that He could sanctify God’s people. To be sanctified simply means we are to strive to take on the holy and righteous nature of God. To return to the “image” in which humanity was first created. What a great thought to start off our first work week of 2022.
Blessings

I have been with you since the beginning, and look forward every morning to God's word and your explanation. I also started The Daily Walk Bible again this year for the second time. My New Year resolution.
I have been here since the beginning and thank you so much for keeping us in the Word with your daily blog.
I have been following the blog from the beginning.
I began with the favorite verses blog. I have not done the Daily Walk yet but it is calling to me from the shelf! I had better answer soon. 🙏
