Numbers 28:26-31
We're going to have a quiz today. I'm going to give you a famous quote and ask if you think it is in Scripture: 1. ''To the victor go the spoils.'' (False-It's a quote from ''Life of Jackson'' by William Learned Marcy) 2. ''Can a leopard change his spots?'' (True-in Jeremiah 13:23 God says evil people can't do good stuff) 3. ''A drop in the bucket.'' (True - God spoke of the nations as being a ''drop in the bucket'' Isaiah 40:15) 4. ''Holier Than Thou'' (True-God said He was holier than you and I in Isaiah 65:5.) 5. ''Money is the root of all evil.'' (Partial credit - I Timothy 6:10 says it's the LOVE of money) 6. ''The serpent tempted Eve to eat the apple.'' ( Partial credit - Satan did tempt Eve of the tree of knowledge of good and evil... but we're pretty sure it wasn't an apple). 7. ''A house divided against itself cannot stand.'' (True - Abraham Lincoln said it quoting Jesus from Mark 3:25) 8. ''Robbing Peter to pay Paul.'' (False - this is from a work by John Wycliffe - who translated the Bible into English) 9. ''No man is an island.'' (False - from a poem a 15th century poem by John Donne) 10. ''No rest for the wicked.'' (True - God declared there'd be no rest for the wicked - Isaiah 48:22)
There are a lot of phrases you might not have realized were in the Bible:
- ''In the twinkling of an eye'' (I Cor. 15:52);
- ''Den of thieves'' (Matthew 21:13);
- ''Keep the faith'' (2 Tim. 4:7);
- ''Old wives' tale'' (1 Tim. 4:7);
- ''Apple of his eye'' (Deut. 32:10);
- ''It is better to give than to receive'' (Acts 20:35); and
- ''The blind leading the blind.'' (Luke 6:39).
It's amazing how many Bible phrases show up in our culture that most people don't realize come from Scripture. And that's cool. But what's even cooler are little mysteries God puts in Scripture (for us to find). Kind of like the mystery of the Feast Of Weeks. ...
