We must be about the Father's business! At age 12, the Lord knew this. So the question is, what is the Father's business? The answer is the comission given to His disciples as recorded by Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John, but please don't forget that Luke records part of it in Acts 1. Let's go into the world, preach the Word of God to the lost, be empowered by His Spirit discipling all nations for His glory! Amen!

*TEN COMMANDMENTS FOR BIBLICAL INTERPRETATION*
1. Do not seek to justify the interpretation you favor, but to accept the interpretation that best fits the text.
2. Interpret a biblical text inductively (i.e., deriving general conclusions from particular facts) by considering all the relevant material.
3. Seek the interpretation which best fits the precise wording of the text.
4. Base the interpretation of Scripture on the best Hebrew or the texts as God has preserved them.
5. Root the interpretation of the text as closely as possible to the immediate written context.
6. Do not cite scholarly sources (a) out of context, or (b) to support interpretations not supported by the text itself. 7. Interpret prophecies and visions in Scripture on their own context and in keeping with the Bible's explicit teaching.
8. Interpret simple expressions simply unless otherwise demanded by the context.
9. Do not pit one part of Scripture against another part, but do interpret each part on its own terms and in its own context before you attempt to understand how they relate to one another.
10. Interpret the spiritual realities spoken of in the Bible in the literal realization that God is infinitely beyond our finite.
