“To win a copy of THE LION BIBLE TO KEEP FOR EVER, tell us the Bible story that inspires you most.”
I like the hymn “This world is not my home, I’m just a-passing through, ..” Anon.
And all Bible stories inspire me, but at the moment THE HEALING OF THE BOY WITH A DEMON inspires me most. You find the story in three gospels. In the gospel of Matthew we find the story of the Boy in Matthew 17:14-27. (Read the story also in Mark 9:19 and Luke 9:41)
I like especially verse 17 in Matthew chapter 17. In that verse the Lord is asking the following two questions :
1. “HOW LONG SHALL I STAY WITH YOU?”
2. “HOW LONG SHALL I PUT UP WITH YOU?”
Do you also like those two questions? I hope you do!
And here is the chorus of the hymn mentioned at the beginning:
“O Lord, You know I have no friend like you,
If Heaven’s not my home, then Lord what will we do?
