Dear sir,
I am so grateful to you for taking time to address my point I pray that God in His infinite mercy would make His grace abound towards you more.
I am quite satisfied with your answer.
If I could access commentary on Isaiah 11 I wouldn’t hesitate.
Jesus Christ is the same yesterday,today and forevermore.
Sincerely yours.

Oluwagbemiga, Did you refer to the right verse? 4:24 is not talking about the issue here. It harks back to the time of Abraham. Maybe I am not clear about your point.

Thanks a great deal sir.
In the same book chap.4 ,and verse 24 it seem he was not accepted I can’t be sure though, but i think it is worthy of note.
God bless you sir.

Oluwagbemiga, During this time Paul was trying to sort out legalism from the doctrine of grace so it was a time of contemplation.

I agree Grant. Too many people these days in the church believe you need someone’s permission before you can preach (human permission). Paul clearly in this passage of scripture is validated by God himself to preach the gospel of grace. I think it’s an excellent interpretation. All of the great men and women of God in scripture had to walk through a desert experience before they could come out and live in grace.

Elijah, Moses, Joshua & Caleb, Jesus himself, Israel, David Etc.

Jeff, here is a summary from Tyndale Bible Dictionary:
In the early morning of the day of resurrection, he appeared to Mary Magdalene in the garden (Jn 20:11–17), then to some of the other women (Mt 28:9). After this, he ascended to his Father (Jn 20:17). Then he returned to appear to Peter, who had gone home (Jn 20:10; Lk 24:34). On the same day, in the late afternoon, he took a seven-mile (11.3-kilometer) walk with two disciples on their way to Emmaus (Lk 24:13–33), following which he appeared to the disciples as they were assembled in a closed room somewhere in Jerusalem (Lk 24:33–48; Jn 20:19–23). It is nearly impossible to follow a sequential, chronological order of all these happenings. What Jesus did was humanly impossible. How could he make all of these appearances on the same day? All we can say is that resurrection greatly changed his sphere of existence. As spirit, and yet with a body—a glorified one—he was no longer limited by time and space.

How do you know Paul was seeking solitude to sort out grace and works. I made the same assumption, but that is only conjecture in my case. Is this explained elsewhere in scripture? If not, I don’t think it’s fair to use it as a verse to pursue solitude.
