2 Kings 7:9-11 Then they said one to another, We do not well: this day is a day of good tidings, and we hold our peace… Burner, in his History of our own Times, quotes Lord Shaftesbury of the seventeenth century as saying: "People differ in their discourses and professions about theological matters, but men of sense are really of one religion." When asked "What is that religion?" the Earl rejoined, "That, men of sense never tell!" This may be the religion of the worldling and cynic, but the religion of the regenerated man cannot but utter itself. Its light shines-it cannot be hid. Life must out. Divine life is irrepressible. Parallel Verses KJV: Then they said one to another, We do not well: this day is a day of good tidings, and we hold our peace: if we tarry till the morning light, some mischief will come upon us: now therefore come, that we may go and tell the king's household. |
