Old Testament verses implying the Gentiles should have hope in Jesus, according to Paul in his letter to the Church in Rome.

"And Lord turneth and looketh upon Peter. And Peter remembereth the word of the Lord, and He sayeth to him: 'Ere the cock croweth, thou shalt denyeth me thrice.' And Peter wenteth out and wepteth bitterly." (Luke 22: 60-61)

(IMHO) one of the most moving and saddest passages in the New Testament. And that's it from me.

It is a moving passage, but I like this one better:

QuoteJohn 21:15-18 New King James Version (NKJV)
Jesus Restores Peter
15 So when they had eaten breakfast, Jesus said to Simon Peter, "Simon, son of [a]Jonah, do you love Me more than these?"

He said to Him, "Yes, Lord; You know that I love You."

He said to him, "Feed My lambs."

16 He said to him again a second time, "Simon, son of [c]Jonah, do you love Me?"

He said to Him, "Yes, Lord; You know that I [d]love You."

He said to him, "Tend My sheep."

17 He said to him the third time, "Simon, son of [e]Jonah, do you [f]love Me?" Peter was grieved because He said to him the third time, "Do you love Me?"

And he said to Him, "Lord, You know all things; You know that I love You."

Jesus said to him, "Feed My sheep. 18 Most assuredly, I say to you, when you were younger, you girded yourself and walked where you wished; but when you are old, you will stretch out your hands, and another will gird you and carry you where you do not wish."

"What has been is remote and exceedingly mysterious; who can understand it?" - Ecclesiastes 7:24

"You rely on your sword, you do detestable things, and each of you defiles his neighbor's wife. Should you then possess the land?"
Ezekiel 33:26

^For some reason I like that one lester. I know it's harsh, but harshness against evil isn't wrong, & few would say "rely[ing] on your sword" is a good idea. I'm sure I've read it before, but I never noticed it before.  :smile:

QuotePsalm 39:6 New King James Version (NKJV)
6 Surely every man walks about like a shadow;
Surely they [a]busy themselves in vain;
He heaps up riches,
And does not know who will gather them.

Footnotes:
Psalm 39:6 make an uproar for nothing

Mark 12:24, one of my favorites:

Jesus said to them, "Is this not the reason you are mistaken, that you do not understand the Scriptures or the power of God?"
"I shall smite you in the nostrils with a rod of iron, and wax your spleen with Efferdent!!"

Pacman - thats kind of the Bible in a nutshell, to me. The story of Israel: they come in, they go against God, they don't learn their lesson even after being exiled and so forth. The rise and Fall

Quote2 Corinthians 5:14-15 New King James Version (NKJV)
14 For the love of Christ compels us, because we judge thus: that if One died for all, then all died; 15 and He died for all, that those who live should live no longer for themselves, but for Him who died for them and rose again.
