Matthew 26:2 "Ye know that after two days is the feast of the passover, and the Son of man is betrayed to be crucified."
In Israel, crucifixion was a common sight. This practice was first mentioned in scripture as one used by the Egyptians (Gen. 40:19). Anyone hung upon a tree was accursed by God according to the Mosaic...
DID YOU KNOW THAT BEFORE JESUS, WE WERE NOT INCLUDED IN GOD'S COVENANT WITH ABRAHAM? IT WAS FOR THE JEWS ONLY AND WE WERE ALL LOST, BEING GENTILES. HOWEVER, WE ARE IN A NEW COVENANT OF GRACE THROUGH JESUS. JEWS AND GENTILES WERE RECONCILED THROUGH HIM.
I USUALLY USE THE KING JAMES VERSION OF THE BIBLE IN MY MORNING MESSAGES BUT IN READING EPHESIANS 2:11-18 IN...
HAVE YOU EVER WONDERED WHY SOME OF THE JEWS DON'T BELIEVE THAT JESUS IS THE MESSIAH? I HAVE BECAUSE THE OLD TESTAMENT SPEAKS VOLUMES ABOUT HIM. THERE ARE SO MANY PROPHESIES ABOUT JESUS AND THEY STILL WON'T BELIEVE HE IS THE MESSIAH. I BELIEVE IF THEY WOULD JUST READ THE PROPHESIES AND LOOK UP THE FULFILLMENT IN THE NEW TESTAMENT, THEY WOULD UNDERSTAND. I AM AFRAID THEY NEVER READ THE NEW TESTAMENT BECAUSE IT IS ALL ABOUT JESUS.
Matthew 25:40 "And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me."
When a kind act was done to someone in need, Jesus said it was done unto Him. The Lord deeply feels our hurts. When someone is neglected,...
Matthew 25:14 "For the kingdom of heaven is as a man travelling into a far country, who called his own servants, and delivered unto them his goods."
The parable of the talents continues the theme of being ready for the Lord's return, but it also makes a strong point that we are accountable to the Lord for the gifts He has...
I WROTE SOMETHING LIKE THIS MESSAGE THREE OR FOUR YEARS AGO BUT SINCE THERE ARE NEW PEOPLE READING IT, I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE GOOD TO EXPLAIN SOME OF THE THINGS I DO. YOU WILL NOTICE I PUT A LOT OF SCRIPTURES IN THESE MESSAGES RATHER THAN JUST GIVING YOU THE CHAPTER AND VERSE NUMBERS. SOME HAVE TOLD ME THAT THIS IS A WASTE OF SPACE BUT I FEEL THAT SOME PEOPLE MIGHT NOT TAKE THE TIME TO LOOK THEM UP.
YOU WILL NOTICE THE SCRIPTURES ARE IN A DIFFERENT TYPE THAN WHAT I NORMALLY WRITE. THIS IS BECAUSE I COPY AND PASTE THEM RATHER THAN TRYING TO TYPE THEM. THIS WAY I...
WHEN YOU ARE STUDYING THE BIBLE AND YOU DON'T QUITE UNDERSTAND SOMETHING, DO YOU SEARCH UNTIL YOU UNDERSTAND IT? A LOT OF PEOPLE DON'T AND THEY MISS OUT ON MUCH OF THE MEANING OF GOD'S WORD. WHEN JESUS WAS TEACHING ABOUT US NOT TRUSTING IN OUR OWN RIGHTEOUSNESS AND DESPISING OTHERS, HE TOLD A PARABLE ABOUT THE PHARISEE AND THE PUBLICAN. I AM GOING TO TELL YOU WHAT A PHARISEE AND A PUBLICAN IS AND THEN HOW THEY PRAYED. THIS IS FOUND IN LUKE 18:9-14.
Matthew 24:38 "For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark,"
Jesus is prophesying that just as in Noah's day, people will be dominated with the temporary affairs of this life instead of eternal spiritual truths,...
CAN YOU LOVE THE PEOPLE OF ISIS THAT CUT THE HEADS OFF THOSE PEOPLE? CAN YOU LOVE THE MUSLIMS WHO BEAT AND RAPE CHILDREN? CAN YOU LOVE THE PEOPLE OF A RELIGION THAT WANTS TO KILL ALL OF US CHRISTIANS? JESUS LOVES THEM AND TELLS US TO DO THE SAME. LOOK WHAT HE SAYS IN MATTHEW 5:44 "
