Jesus’ Resurrection
We know the importance of Jesus’ death on the cross, but the whole of the Christian faith hinges on His resurrection from the dead. In the end of the sabbath, as it began to dawn toward the first day of the week, came Mary Magdalene and the other Mary to see the sepulchre. And, behold, there was a great earthquake: for the angel of the Lord descended from heaven, and came and rolled back the stone from the door, and…
The Door Will Close (John 7:30-36)
The Jews now want to kill Jesus for His Words; however, they do not kill Him at this time. It is not Jesus’ time to die Jesus is Sovereign Lord over all of creation. He will lay down His life in His own timing; no one can take His life from Him. This is not the right time, so Jesus is not taken and killed by the Jews. Many people believe Because of Jesus’ bold teachings and actions, many Jews…
Jesus’ Death
Who hath believed our report? and to whom is the arm of the Lord revealed? For he shall grow up before him as a tender plant, and as a root out of a dry ground: he hath no form nor comeliness; and when we shall see him, there is no beauty that we should desire him. He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were our faces from…
Do You Know God? (John 7:25-29)
The longer Jesus talks, the more the Jews dislike Him. He is continually pointing out that they are not right with God, and that He is the only way for them to be right with the Father. The Jews are surprised at Jesus’ boldness The Jews want to kill Jesus, and Jesus knows this. However, Jesus continues to boldly speak the truth. This amazes the Jews. People who are walking in the light have no problem speaking the truth openly.…
Jesus the Messiah
We now look at Jesus as the Messiah and the fulfillment of every Old Testament prophecy and type. Then cometh Jesus from Galilee to Jordan unto John, to be baptized of him. But John forbad him, saying, I have need to be baptized of thee, and comest thou to me? And Jesus answering said unto him, Suffer it to be so now: for thus it becometh us to fulfil all righteousness. Then he suffered him. And Jesus, when he was…
The Right Use of the Law (John 7:19-25)
The people are questioning where Jesus’ teachings come from because He teaches differently than what they have heard. Jesus shows them that He is not teaching for His own selfish reasons, but He is seeking God’s glory. He then uses their hatred of Him for healing on the Sabbath day to expose that they are breakers of Moses Law and stand condemned. Moses gave the Law Just as Moses came down from Mt. Sinai with the Law of God, so…
The Coming of Elijah
The last promise given to the children of Israel was the coming of Elijah. We now read of this promise being fulfilled before Christ begins His ministry. There was in the days of Herod, the king of Judaea, a certain priest named Zacharias, of the course of Abia: and his wife was of the daughters of Aaron, and her name was Elisabeth. And they were both righteous before God, walking in all the commandments and ordinances of the Lord blameless.…
Satisfied by Jesus (John 4:1-32)
Jesus here meets the Samaritan woman at the well. She comes at a time when no other women are there, indicating that she was probably an outcast of her society. Jesus speaks to those society rejects This woman has been apparently rejected by the women in her society, presumably because of her going from man to man. Also, Jews did not speak to Samaritans. However, Jesus is the Friend of Sinners, so He begins a conversation with her. Jesus speaks…
Living for God’s Glory Alone (Part 2) (John 7:14-18)
Jesus begins to teach in the temple. The people are amazed at His teaching and wonder how He is able to teach this way because He has never set under another teacher. Jesus’ answer gives us a great glimpse into the Christian life and the nature of Jesus Christ. Jesus doctrine is not His but God’s Every person is living for someone, and this includes all religious teachers and preachers from every religion. All men teach what benefits them in…
The Coming of Christ
We now turn to the New Testament. It begins with a genealogy. The book of the generation of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham.Matthew 1:1 From the very first verse we find that we are going to be learning of Jesus, the Messiah, who is the son of David and Abraham. Matthew is very clearly showing us that Jesus is the Seed of the Woman that we have been waiting for. Now the birth of Jesus…
Living For God’s Glory Alone (Part 1) (John 7:1-13)
Because of Jesus’ blunt teachings, many Jews now hate Jesus and want Him dead. Jesus continues His ministry, and He continues to do so without drawing attention to Himself. His family does not understand this and encourages Him to take a more public approach to His ministry. They do not do this because they support Him; instead, they are doing this because they do not believe that He is doing all of these miracles they are hearing about. Jesus has…
Return From Exile
The children of Israel are in captivity for their sins. God has promised that this captivity will only last for seventy years. At the end of seventy years, the children of Israel return to the Promised Land. Ezra and Nehemiah are the leaders for this effort. Ezra leads in the rebuilding of the temple, and Nehemiah rebuilds the walls. Now in the first year of Cyrus king of Persia, that the word of the Lord by the mouth of Jeremiah…
