This thread is making me get my bible out, I must say I am enjoying it!!

Luke 19:1-10 [1] Jesus entered Jericho and was passing through. [2] A man was there by the name of Zacchaeus; he was a chief tax collector and was wealthy. [3] He wanted to see who Jesus was, but being a short man he could not, because of the crowd. [4] So he ran ahead and climbed a sycamore-fig tree to see him, since Jesus was coming that way. [5] When Jesus reached the spot, he looked up and said to him, 'Zacchaeus, come down immediately. I must stay at your house today.' [6] So he came down at once and welcomed him gladly. [7] All the people saw this and began to mutter, 'He has gone to be the guest of a 'sinner.' ' [8] But Zacchaeus stood up and said to the Lord, 'Look, Lord! Here and now I give half of my possessions to the poor, and if I have cheated anybody out of anything, I will pay back four times the amount.' [9] Jesus said to him, 'Today salvation has come to this house, because this man, too, is a son of Abraham. [10] For the Son of Man came to seek and to save what was lost.'

Great contributions Hetty and Scarlet, thank you for sharing. Vonny

Love fulfilleth the law. Therefore if thine enemy hunger, feed him;if he thirst,give him drink: for in so doing thou shalt heap coals of fire on his head. Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good. Romans chapter 12 v 20 and 21. King James version.

Great Thread... thankyou....Good Morning Vonny. This is my favourite and one of many that seemed to jump out at me when I first believed. Do not let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God; trust also in me. In my Father's house are many rooms: if it were not so, I would have told you.I am going there to prepare a place for you . And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also will be where I am. John 14 verse 1-4....NIV. Wow what a promise.. This is great comfort in this troubled world. Hetty.

Thank you Anne, lovely verse indeed. Good morning (or afternoon) to all. Vonny

Good (early) morning all :) Carol, what a great passage, one of my favourites also. Vonny

'O come, let us sing unto the LORD: let us make a joyful noise to the rock of our salvation. Let us come before his presence with thanksgiving, and make a joyful noise unto him with psalms. For the LORD is a great God, and a great King above all gods. In his hand are the deep places of the earth: the strength of the hills is his also. The sea is his, and he made it: and his hands formed the dry land. O come, let us worship and bow down: let us kneel before the LORD our maker.'

Joy, I was just singing that to myself and thought, I'll just add it and you already had :) have a great day everyone. Vonny

This is the day that the Lord has made. Let us rejoice and be glad in it. Psalm 118. v24.

Thank you Carol (x2) for your additions. Lovely. Vonny

Promise of the Resurrection For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17

'Therefore keep watch, because you do not know on what day your Lord will come. But understand this: If the owner of the house had known at what time of night the thief was coming, he would have kept watch and would not have let his house be broken into. So you also must be ready, because the Son of Man will come at an hour when you do not expect him.' Matthew 24:42-44 (NIV)
