Isaiah 38:19 The living, the living, he shall praise you, as I do this day: the father to the children shall make known your truth. But has the central conception of early Jewish religion disappeared, or has it only been matured and purified? Is not human life, as we have experience of it here, in the present, with all its cares, and joys, and sorrows, still the great concern of religion? Does it not still afford us the best means of drawing Dear to God, and realising His presence? Does not Christ Himself teach us that our first business is in this life, when He prays to the Father that He should not take the disciples out of the world, but that He should keep them from the evil? (W. W. Jackson, M. A.) Parallel Verses KJV: The living, the living, he shall praise thee, as I do this day: the father to the children shall make known thy truth. |
