As you say, His miracles are all around us to appreciate, and only the fool says that there is no God. He offers freely to transform every lost sinner in to a new creation -- a sinner saved by grace -- yet many refuse it, to their eternal loss.<br />Thanks for sharing your insights and God bless,<br />LaurieLaurie Colletthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10676088158113572565noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8901842915517693862.post-41600156101189604362017-11-10T16:32:15.092-08:002017-11-10T16:32:15.092-08:00Sorry, I meant that those scriptures were talking ...Sorry, I meant that those scriptures were talking about caterpillars never making that transformation (referring to the miracle of rebirth being like the transformation that the Lord performs in His new creation people) but those whose worm dieth not are like caterpillars that never change into butterflies and that is speaking about evil people that remain enemies of God.Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00498627087140234765noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8901842915517693862.post-84670563723805180472017-11-10T16:27:02.488-08:002017-11-10T16:27:02.488-08:00I’ve thought about the caterpillar to butterfly tr...I’ve thought about the caterpillar to butterfly transformation often. I think the verse that says “their worm shall not die” Isaiah 66:24 and referred to in Mark ch 9 is talking about the caterpillar....in Jonah a tree was killed by a worm which I believe to also have been a caterpillar.
