Le résultat de la repentance
Ray Ortlund
The outcome of repentance is not a restored status quo, getting back to “normal,” getting back to where we were before we sinned, evading the consequences of sin. The outcome of true repentance is new obedience, unprecedented obedience, perhaps unheard-of obedience. Newness of life.

Les cinq objectifs de Dieu
RICK WARREN
PASTEUR DE L'ÉGLISE DE SADDLEBACK EN CALIFORNIE THE PURPOSE-DRIVEN LIFE, 2002
God has not left us in the dark to wonder and guess. He has clearly revealed his five purposes for our lives through the Bible. It is our Owner’s Manual, explaining why we are alive, how life works, what to avoid, and what to expect in the future. . . . To discover your purpose in life you must turn to God’s Word, not the world’s wisdom.

Nos souffrances pour le Christ

Pourquoi pêcher ?
John MacArthur, John MacArthur, Matthew 1-7, Moody, 1985, p. 290.
We do not sin simply because of Satan or because of social deprivation, stressful situations, bad influences, or any other external cause. Those things may tempt us to sin and make sinning easier, but when we commit sin – or even intend to commit sin – it is because we decide to sin. Sin is an act of the will.
John MacArthur, John MacArthur, Matthew 1-7, Moody, 1985, p. 290.

Les tentations qui ont été anticipées
John MacArthur, The MacArthur New Testament Commentary Matthew 1-7, Moody, 1985, p. 89.
Temptations that have been anticipated, guarded against, and prayed about have little power to harm us. Jesus tells us to “keep watching and praying, that you may not come into temptation” (Mark 14:38). Victory over temptation comes from being constantly prepared for it, which, in turn, comes from constantly relying on the Lord.
John MacArthur, The MacArthur New Testament Commentary Matthew 1-7, Moody, 1985, p. 89.

Réveille-toi
WILLIAM LAW (1686-1761)
PASTEUR PROTESTANT ANGLAIS
THE SPIRIT OF PRAYER, 1758
Awake, then, thou that sleepest, and Christ, who from all eternity has been espoused to thy soul, shall give thee light. Begin to search and dig in thine own field for this pearl of eternity that lies hidden in it; it cannot cost thee too much, nor canst thou buy it too dear, for it is all; and when thou hast found it thou wilt know all which thou hast sold or given away for it as mere a nothing as a bubble upon the water.

Certaines prières
Oswald Chambers, Daily Thoughts for Disciples, Christian Literature Crusade, 1976, p. 75.
Some prayers are followed by silence (from God) because they are wrong, others because they are bigger than one can understand. It will be a wonderful moment for some of us when we stand before God and find that the prayers we clamored for in early days and imagined were never answered, have been answered in the most amazing way, and that God’s silence has been the sign of the answer.

Le secret du contentement
Jerry Bridges, The Practice of Godliness, NavPress, 1996, p. 99.
This is the secret of being content: to learn and accept that we live daily by God’s unmerited favor given through Christ, and that we can respond to any and every situation by His divine enablement through the Holy Spirit.

Les mensonges dans le monde
William Barclay
It is more from carelessness about truth than from intentional lying, that there is so much falsehood in the world.

Son désir
Randy Smith
God delights to give His children “every good…and every perfect gift” (James. 1:17), but if the physical blessings we desire were always and immediately given at our request, God would become nothing more than a big slot machine in the sky, and our prayers would become meaningless tokens mechanically fed into an apparatus as a means to achieve our whims with which we have no relationship. God would receive no glory, and we would pray our souls into a black hole. Whether God answers our prayers with a “no” or “not yet” or “yes,” His goal is to draw us closer to Himself in a relationship so that we might view Him as our ultimate reward.

Être tenté
J.C. Ryle, Commentaire : Matthew 4.
To be tempted is in itself no sin. It is the yielding to the temptation, and giving it a place in our hearts, which we must fear.
J.C. Ryle, Commentary: Matthew 4.

Jésus a été identifié par ses plaies
Mais si je suis prêt à revendiquer mes blessures comme ma voie unique vers la résurrection, alors je peux commencer à en prendre soin, sachant qu'elles m'identifieront dans ma vie éternelle en Dieu.
Prendre soin de mes blessures signifie les reconnaître comme des révélations de ma façon unique d'être humain, les écouter comme des maîtres qui m'aident à trouver mon propre chemin vers la sainteté, les partager comme une source de consolation et de réconfort, et permettre aux autres de les enduire d'huile et de les lier dans les moments de grande douleur.
Je proclame ainsi que mes blessures ne sont pas des causes d'embarras, mais la source d'une reconnaissance joyeuse de ma vocation unique à cheminer avec Jésus à travers la souffrance pour la gloire de Dieu."
Henri Nouwen, Seeds of Hope
“Just as Jesus was identified by his wounds, so are we. This mystery is hard to grasp , but it is of the greatest importance in helping to deal with our own brokenness. When I feel lonely, forgotten, rejected, or despised, I can easily be tempted to respond to these painful experiences with anger, resentment, and a desire for revenge.
But if I am willing to claim my woundedness as my unique way to the resurrection, then I may start caring for my wounds, knowing that they will identify me in my eternal life in God.
Caring for my wounds means acknowledging them as revelations of my unique way of being human, listening to them as teachers who help me find my own way to holiness, sharing them as a source of consolation and comfort, and allowing others to pour oil on them and bind them in times of great pain.
Thus I proclaim my wounds are not causes for embarrassment, but the source of joyful acknowledgement of my unique vocation to journey with Jesus through suffering to the glory of God.”

Crées à l'image de Dieu
La signification particulière de la création de l'homme et de la femme à l'image de Dieu :
1. Ce n'est qu'après avoir créé l'homme que Dieu dit de tout ce qu'il a fait : "c'est très bon" (1,31). Ce n'est pas simplement parce que la tâche créatrice de Dieu est terminée, mais parce que l'homme est le sommet de tout ce qu'Il a fait.
2. La création de l'homme est introduite différemment des autres produits de l'œuvre créatrice, par l'expression personnelle et délibérée : "Faisons l'homme à notre image, selon notre ressemblance."
3. Le Dieu unique qui crée l'homme en tant que mâle et femelle utilise délibérément des références plurielles de lui-même (par exemple, "Laissez-nous", "Notre image", "Notre ressemblance") en tant que créateur de l'"homme" singulier qui est pluriel "mâle et femelle". 4.
4. L'"image de Dieu" est énoncée trois fois en 1:26-27 en relation avec l'homme en tant que mâle et femelle mais jamais en relation avec une autre partie de la création (les anges sont-ils créés à l'image de Dieu ?).
5. Le terme spécial pour l'action créatrice unique de Dieu, bara, est utilisé trois fois en 1:27 pour la création de l'homme à son image en tant qu'homme et femme.
6. L'homme reçoit une place de domination sur tous les autres êtres créés sur la terre, indiquant ainsi l'autorité supérieure et la priorité de l'homme dans la conception de la création de Dieu. 7.
7. Seule la création de l'homme en tant qu'homme et femme est développée et décrite en détail dans Gen. 2.
Sam Storms
Special significance of the creation of male and female in the image of God:
1. It is only after God has created man that He says of all He has made: it is “very good” (1:31). This is not simply because God’s creative task is finished but because mankind is the pinnacle of all He has made.
2. The creation of man is introduced differently than other products of creative work, with the personal and deliberative expression, “Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness.”
3. The one God who creates man as male and female deliberately uses plural references of himself (e.g., “Let Us,” “Our image,” “Our likeness”) as the creator of singular “man” who is plural “male and female.”
4. The “image of God” is stated three times in 1:26-27 in relation to man as male and female but never in relation to any other part of creation (are angels created in the image of God?).
5. The special term for God’s unique creative action, bara, is used three times in 1:27 for the creation of man in His image as male and female.
6. Man is given a place of dominion over all other created beings on the earth, thus indicating the higher authority and priority of man in God’s created design.
7. Only the creation of man as male and female is expanded and portrayed in detail as recorded in Gen. 2.

Le monde est plein de problèmes
Nous n'avons pas besoin du Christ pour nous dire que le monde est plein de problèmes. Mais nous avons besoin de son explication de l'histoire pour que ses problèmes ne soient pas dénués de sens. Dans sa vie, sa mort et sa résurrection, l'histoire prend tout son sens.
EUGENE H. PETERSON
PASTEUR DE L'ÉGLISE PRESBYTÉRIENNE AMÉRICAINE ET ÉCRIVAIN
TONNERRE INVERSÉ, 1988
We do not need Christ to tell us that the world is full of trouble. But we do need his explanation of history if its troubles are not to be meaningless. In his life, death and resurrection, history comes to focus.
