What's that Scripture mean?
Ever asked yourself this question when you're reading through the Bible? We all have. Whether we've been saved a long time or are just beginning to follow Christ, there are portions of Scripture that go over our heads. They're puzzling. Odd. Complicated. Strange.- What's baptism on behalf of the dead? (1 Corinthians 15:29)
- Wasn't it rude for Jesus to call a woman a dog? (Mark 7:27)
- If Jesus is eternal, why is he called the firstborn? (Colossians 1:15)
- How can we do greater works than Christ? (John 14:12)
Think of it like this: if the Bible were an apple orchard, the Scriptures we're most familiar with are like the luscious Honeycrisp. They're our favorites. Like, "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me" and "Love never fails." But strange Scriptures are more like an unripe Granny Smith. There's juice in it, all right, but if you want meaning and life application, you have to do a whole lot more squeezing. That's where Strange Scriptures comes in. Within each short study, author Chris Palmer has aimed to represent scholarship, Greek exegesis, and life application to bring forth a full-bodied study to nourish your soul.
