    Why did Jesus instruct his disciples to gather the remaining fragments after everyone was full? The scripture does not reveal what Jesus did with these leftovers.

    Many misunderstand and misapply Jesus’ instruction to his disciples, concerning how to handle a brother who sins against another Christian. This homily outlines the correct response.

    Boasting is usually something frowned on but we are given instructions in the proper motivation and subject of our boasting in Jermiah. We are to boast that we know and understand Yahweh God.

    Let the boaster boast! Jeremiah 9:23-24 Boasting is essentially praising oneself. The Hebrew llh means to praise and in this section it is the reflexive hitpa’el – in other words, praising oneself. I. The pattern of the Hebrew text is “Let not X boast about his Y” A. The X and Y might be ...read more
