What do we learn from these short bible verses?
These Bible verses say a lot with the shortest verse in the Bible telling us simply that Jesus wept. We see his sincere compassion for others in his tears over the coming destruction of Jerusalem.
The other short quotes discuss a constant attitude of rejoicing, the value of a friend, requesting prayer, abstaining from sin, loving others, being honest, securing council, accepting guidance, being wise, accepting prophecy, and trusting God.
Some of these short Scriptural passages talk about how Jesus was with God and then came down as the light to save us from our sins. They declare how God first loved us which enabled us to love him back. One short quote reassures us that the life of following Jesus is not going to be more than we can bear, but that his yoke is light. The plan of salvation and how to live as a Christian can be found in these verses.
