Iron sharpening Iron

When we discuss the Word , there are some foundations we should be aware of.

Maintaining our "edge" is a twofold path.



 

[Proverbs 27:17 KJV] Iron sharpeneth iron; so a man sharpeneth the countenance of his friend.


sharpeneth = ḥāḏaḏ = to be sharp, be alert, be keen


If edges collide they will gouge each other......


To Alert one another resonates with me.

But something else I have discovered by looking into how swords are sharpened.

Even though "iron honing iron" is great for maintenance, true sharpening comes from a "stone"


If honing is done correctly you will prolong its edge.


In ancient times, metal scraping tools were usually the most consistent and effective options for shaping something as thin as a cutting edge.


You can use a sharpening/honing steel on any regular bevelled blade to prolong the cutting experience in between regular resharpening on a stone.


To prolong the cutting experience "between" use of the blade/sword it is recommended to regularly resharpen on a "stone"


Who is the "Stone the builders rejected?"


[Matthew 21:42 KJV] Jesus saith unto them, Did ye never read in the scriptures, The stone which the builders rejected, the same is become the head of the corner: this is the Lord's doing, and it is marvellous in our eyes?


Hone your understanding with Brethren

But most of all:

Maintain your faith with the Stone !

Jesus Christ 🙏♥️


John 14:6 KJV — Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
