Luke 4:43
"But He said to them, 'I must preach the kingdom of God to the other cities also, for I was sent for this purpose." I wish I had been using red-letters throughout this blog when quoting Scripture to show the words of our Lord Jesus Christ. I use a red-letter NASB that has cross references. It referenced Mark 1:38. I wrote in the margin a verse that I have been meditating on, John 18:37. When we use cross-references, we stop reading the Word of God and start studying the Word of God.
