Episode 7: "Ye Must Be Born Again"
Listen to Episode 7, "Ye Must Be Born Again"
Water, water, everywhere! There is water in all these chapters: water turning into wine, being born of water, living water...it's EVERYWHERE I tell you! It's a good thing I love water! Also, reasons why you should NOT wear a dress to get baptized.
Let's go swimming.
This is the white dress that caused all the trouble!!! (I have no idea what my sister was trying to show me)
Lots of good insight in the Seminary Manual this week!
About that "woman" thing....
John 2:4. “Woman, what have I to do with thee?”
“The Savior’s response to His mother may seem abrupt as it reads in the King James Version, but both the Joseph Smith Translation and the Greek version indicate that He spoke with respect. Elder James E. Talmage (1862–1933) of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles explained: ‘The noun of address, “Woman,” as applied by a son to his mother may sound to our ears somewhat harsh, if not disrespectful; but its use was really an expression of opposite import. … When, in the last dread scenes of His mortal experience, Christ hung in dying agony upon the cross, He looked down upon the weeping Mary, His mother, and commended her to the care of the beloved apostle John, with the words: “Woman, behold thy son!” [John 19:26]. Can it be thought that in this supreme moment, our Lord’s concern for the mother from whom He was about to be separated by death was associated with any emotion other than that of honor, tenderness and love?’ (Jesus the Christ, 3rd ed. [1916], 144–45)
