DAILY READINGS: 1 Kings:13:33After this thing Jeroboam returned not from his evil way, but made again of the lowest of the people priests of the high places: whosoever would, he consecrated him, and he became one of the priests of the high places.
See All... [1] to 14:31; Jer. 24-25; Col:2:8Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ.
See All... [2] to 3:4

Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it does not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is. 1 John:3:2Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is.

Who of us can fully appreciate the truths that John reveals to us here. To think that one day we shall be like Him is beyond our comprehension. William Alexander tells of an incident when translating these verses. When the native scribe came to the words, “We shall be like Him,” he laid down his pen and exclaimed, “No, it’s too much; let us write, ‘We shall kiss His feet.’” But will it be too much? Is it too much that “sons” shall one day be like Him? “I shall be satisfied, when

I awake, with thy likeness” (Ps:17:15As for me, I will behold thy face in righteousness: I shall be satisfied, when I awake, with thy likeness.
