Luke 1:80 And the child grew, and waxed strong in spirit, and was in the deserts till the day of his showing to Israel. We need strong men — Elijah-like, John-the-Baptist-like men in these "perilous times," and "spiritual" strength is incomparably the strongest, the most celestial, the most Christly of all strength. (A. B. Grosart, LL. D.). Parallel Verses KJV: And the child grew, and waxed strong in spirit, and was in the deserts till the day of his shewing unto Israel. |
