“Instead!
Strive
For his kingdom!
All these things
Will be given
To you
As well.”
πλὴν ζητεῖτε τὴν βασιλείαν αὐτοῦ, καὶ ταῦτα προστεθήσεται ὑμῖν.
Luke had Jesus give a simple solution. Instead of worrying, they were to strive or seek (πλὴν ζητεῖτε) his kingdom (τὴν βασιλείαν αὐτοῦ). Then all these things would be given to them as well (καὶ ταῦτα προστεθήσεται ὑμῖν). Once again, Matthew, chapter 6:33, had a similar Jesus saying, indicating a common Q source, as the same theme continued. Thus, they should seek or strive first (ζητεῖτε δὲ πρῶτον) for the kingdom (τὴν βασιλείαν) and his righteousness (καὶ τὴν δικαιοσύνην αὐτοῦ). Then all these other things would be taken care of for them (καὶ ταῦτα πάντα προστεθήσεται ὑμῖν). Do you seek the kingdom of God?
I think what you said made a lot of sense. However, think on this, suppose you added a little content?
I ain’t saying your content is not good., but what if you added a title to possibly
grab a person’s attention? I mean Seek the kingdom! (Lk 12:31-12:31) | Eugene Finnegan Bible Project
is a little vanilla. You might look at Yahoo’s front page and
see how they write article headlines to grab viewers to click.
You might add a related video or a pic or two to get people excited
about everything’ve written. In my opinion, it would make your
posts a little livelier.
