    The very first thing that I noticed about our text is the doubling of Simon’s name in Jesus’ statement, “Simon, Simon”.

    The doubling of words almost sounds like people when they stutter. Often people who stutter repeat their words. I love to hear people who stutter. I do not mean that in a derogatory way, I REALLY ENJOY HEARING PEOPLE TALK WHO STUTTER. Illus: A really huge muscular guy with a bad stutter goes ...read more

    ANXIETY. Matthew 6:25-34. MATTHEW 6:25. “Take no thought” is an unfortunate translation.

    Yes, all of these are examples of Ratteling in the bible. However none of them can compare to the RATTEL OF THAT FIRST FIRST EASTER!!!!!!!!
