“Sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt me.” That was a very common taunt when I was growing up. It helped the one saying this phrase that it is only words being used. It does not mean the insult is true. But… words have power. A constant barrage of words can change the way I think about myself and my worth. Consider the word- JUST.
Just is define differently by the way it is used in sentences. In this case- we will define it as used to indicate a small chance of happening due to unimportance. In the area of the Bible, the word just used like this really downplays the value of those needful things. You may say, “What are you talking about?” Well, consider these phrases:
After all:
It’s JUST Bible Class
It’s JUST Sunday Night
It’s JUST Wednesday Night
It’s JUST Singing Night
It’s JUST Bible Investigation
It’s JUST 2 Minutes to a Better Life
It’s JUST Praying
It’s JUST Reading God’s Word
It’s JUST Baptism
It’s JUST Volunteering to Help
It’s JUST Faithfulness
IT”S JUST A CROSS!
