Cool thing in the scriptures this week: K, so I found a cool Plan of salvation reference that´s way too complicated to teach to investigators. So guess who has to listen to it. Yep--you guys. Ok so it begins "a certain man (Adam/all of us) went down from Jerusalem (heaven) to Jericho (earth). Along the way he fell among thieves (Satan and his angels) who left him naked and half dead (spiritually dead) and awaiting physical death. And then comes a priest (law given to prophets before Moses) who passed by and couldn´t/wouldn´t save him. Then came a Levite (law of Moses)...also couldn´t save him. Then came our boy, the Samaritan (had no comliness that when we looked upon him we should desire him. A man of sorrows and acquainted with grief, and we hid as it were our faces from him) and he bound up the wounds and poured in water and oil. Placed the man (Adam/us) on his own beast (his own merit and righteousness) and walked the path that we couldn´t. Then he comes to the inn, which is a place to take care of the man (us) and watch over his healing process, (inn=the church) and he gives to the owner of the inn two pence (two priesthoods) to care for the man until he comes again.
Bit of a stretch? Maybe, but there it is: plan of salvation in the New Testament.
