But I say to you

Thursday, April 10, 2025

Messiah said, "You have heard it said... but I say to you". Notice, the first phrase, "You have heard it said," is speaking of an event that takes place in the third person. It's said to somebody by someone, somewhere. The second phrase, "But I say unto you," is said in the first person. It's not just somebody talking, it's 'I AM' talking personally and directly to you. Messiah is declaring everything you've heard that isn't from His mouth to you is not to you anymore. That means that every hurtful word you've heard in your life, words of gloom and evil, even if it was said to you, are no longer to you now in Messiah. Don't take it personally. It's now only hearsay, something you hear was said, but it's no longer to you. But take the Word of God personally. Take His truth, His promises, His comfort, His love, and His calling and no longer treat it as if it was said to somebody else. Take God's Word as if He was speaking it directly and personally to you, because He is.
