Honor's reward chapter 2 review
Chapter 2 of honor's reward talks about partial or no rewards. A lot of people in the bible were used as examples in this chapter. People like Jesus' family will only recieve a partial reward because they had doubts in him, most of them thought that he was just an ordinary boy and man. But people like preachers and teachers that told and talked about the word of God had a lot of doubts in Jesus and they didn't recieve any reward. The reason why they didn't recieve any reward is not because they doubted in Jesus but because they had the thoughts in their minds. They did not express their feelings or thoughts to Jesus otherwise Jesus would have explained it again and given them more understanding so they would recieve a reward. What John Bevere is trying to get to us is that what we do, think or say has an impact on what and how we recieve our reward. This is my review on chapter 2 Honor's reward by John Bevere.

Interesting summary, Tash.
ReplyDeleteI think the scripture that Mr Bevere referred to about the Pharisees having contempt in their heart was more to emphasize the point that even though they "pretended" to honour and worship Jesus with their lips, in their hearts they were dishonouring Him and that was the reason they received only a partial or no-reward. They knew very well who Jesus was but they hated that He came and "ruined" all their philosophies and traditions.
Mr Bevere quoted this scripture:
"These people come near to me with their mouth and honor me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me. Their worship of me is based on merely human rules they have been taught." Isaiah 29:13
